Starting the patches

Danielle • Oliver. Tobias. Benjamin💙💙💙

Just wanting everyone’s opinion but I’m almost 6 weeks post partum and have not had a period yet (I have not had sex since before the birth of my son) and was prescribed the patches for birth control today. My OB said to start them Sunday and the package of the patches says to start them the Sunday after my period or the first day of my period. Has anyone else started them before they got their period and how did it affect you and your cycle? Thanks!
