    I had my first doctors appt at 7 weeks pp.  They gave me the prescription then; of course when I took it to be filled that Saturday, my pharmacy didnt have it in stock til Monday--- I called my Dr. on Monday morning and they said to just wait til the next Sunday to start it.  Hope that helps!

    You can start any day of the week, you just have to wait 48 hrs before you are considered protected.

    No, I didn't notice any weight gain.  I took the mini-pill after my first pg for about a year and kept losing more and more weight with BFing and time.  I got below my pre-pg weight (I wasn't exercising or dieting).

    I started yesterday and was told to wait 2 weeks until I was considered protected.  Maybe my OB just likes to be extra safe?

    I was going by the package insert.  Not having sex is even safer!
