Question For The Ladies

[jesscaba 24]

Hello everyone. So my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1030 but since I have absolutely no luck I got my period today. Is that going to affect the surgery at all??

[dhales 98]

No - but they will most likely give you those lovely paper panties with a mega size pad to put on...since they make you take everything off under your gown.

[elcee 3,341]

No, they will still go ahead. Just let them know so that they can give you a pad or something.

[jesscaba 24]

Thank you for answering so quickly. I'm so glad it's not going to affect the surgery. I woke up this morning and was like "oh no!"

Not looking forward to the paper panties and pad but it a small price to pay!

No worries they have seen it all i'm sure - including people that did not tell them and bled on the table =)

Tampons should be ok tho when I get home right?

[Krystyneh 55]

Thank you for asking this question I was wondering the same for when I go for surgery but was too afraid to ask...good luck on your surgery

[waitingpatiently 250]

I think the tampons would be ok....but it might hurt a little more tending to them the first few days...A pad might be easier but you could try.

You will be fine, mine snuck up on me too right before surgery and my doc said no problem. And tampons when you get home are ok. Good Luck.

[jesscaba 24]

Damn periods! Lol I wasn't supposed to get it til next week. Figures it came early hah

No problem! I felt a little silly asking but needed to know.

I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow. Surgery is at 1030 so I have to be there by 830.

I thought the same thing---but NO!!! Not okay, for me at least. I was so sore, even pulling pants up and down was quite a chore for about a week, never mind a tampon! If I can recommend anything to you, before surgery, get some overnight pads to come home to...and ask for some extra gauze-like panties to take home, they are sooooo stretchable!

I tried the whole tampon thing and it was a no go for me too. Thank God my little sister had some pads to give me!!

I was just thinking about my April 26th date and my cycle. I am not liking the timing so very well at this moment, but have worked so hard to get here will not change it for anything. I was thinking of asking my Dr. to give me a light dose of birth control pills to change my cycle to make surgery some what easier without having to deal with issues down there.

I wish I would have thought of that. This def would be easier if I wasn't on my period.
