So I had been taking birth control pills for about 9 months, and then due to medical issues I had to be taken off of the pill. Now that I m well again, my doctor said it was alright for me to go back on the pill. However, I m not sure when I am able to start taking a new pack. I have been off the pill for a little less than a month. I know that usually, I should start again during my next period, but I have heard that after getting off the pill, it may take months for your period to come back. I would like to start taking it again as soon as possible! Can I just start a new pack whenever I want since I haven t been off of the pill for that long? Or do I need to keep waiting until my period? Thanks!!!
