First period... when to start birth control

Amanda

Im 4 weeks pp (almost 5) I stopped bleeding on the 14th and didnt bleed for 4 days. Went from brown blood and hardly any for a full day to bight red blood soking a pad every 3 or so hours. So im guessing that I stopped bleeding and then a few days later started my first period?!

Now my dr wanted me to start on the pill today. Would you start well on your period or just wait till its done?
