Pill after breastfeeding

I've just stopped breastfeeding my 8 month old DD and am going back on the contraceptive pill (Mycrogynon). Do you know if I need to wait for my periods to return before I start taking it? I asked my GP, and after lots of flicking through books and looking on the Internet, he thought I didn't need to wait, but he seemed very unsure so thought I'd see if any of you knew?

no, you can start taking it at any time but need to take extra precautions for the first week.
