How Soon Can I Start Taking the Birth Control Pill After TT?

I do not routinely stop the pills but if you do you may resume the pills once you are fully ambulatory. The pills can make you slightly more prone to developing clots in your legs (DVT). Be sure of DVT prophylaxis and ask your surgeon to take adequate precautions.

Continue all regularly taken medications except any blood thinning medications. If you have any questions about which ones to discontinue, contact your surgeon for a list.
