I just had my IUD removed because it was causing me stomach pain. The doctor prescribed me a pill (Lolo) instead. Do I need to wait until I have my period before taking the pill?

No, you do not need to wait for your menstruation before starting the new pill. You can begin taking it immediately to reduce the risk of pregnancy. It is possible to experience some spotting when you first start the pill, but you should continue taking it as directed.
