How Safe Is To Take Birth Control Pills During Periods?

I had a d&c following miscarriage. I stopped bleeding from the d&c after 2 weeks and now, 2 weeks later, I started my period. Is it okay to begin birth control pills with the start of this period even though my hcg level has not returned to zero (it is around 40)?

Hi, I think you can start the pills now also. Hcg levels will not interfere with its action. Hope I have answered your question.
