Combi pill after birth

[Steff1988]

Hi, I had a baby 8wks ago and dr has given me the combi pill. Me and hubby have been having unprotected sex and I still have had my period. If I take the pill but was pregnant would I bleed on my 5-7 day break?

Many thanks

Yes that is possible. Start the pill on the first day of your next bleed so you know you are not pregnant is one option, the other is to start the pills now, use condoms for the first 7 days , and do a pregnancy test after 3 weeks , regardless of whether you have a bleed or not.
