I had my period. I wore a tampon, pad, and mesh underwear. I woke up the pad and mesh underwear were gone, but that tampon was still there. There was no need for a Foley. They got me up walking half asleep 8hrs postoperative. That's when I had a chance to change and insert a new one. You'll be fine. Nurses are great.
