After A Baby

If you want to take Mercilon after having a baby, wait six weeks before starting or wait until the first day of your first period. This would give your body enough time to return to normal after pregnancy. Be sure to use another form of contraception before you can start taking your pills.

You may want to delay your start date even further if you are breast-feeding. The Pill will not harm your baby, but it can affect the amount and quality of your breast milk. Speak to your doctor about your options.
