BC and meds

[AND:) 0]

I know there's a list of meds that shouldn't be taken after surgery such as --- midol, motrin, and advil.

Sooooo my question is ... Are there certain birth control pills that aren't suppose to be taken after surgery? If so, which? Or ladies, .. (if you don't mind me asking) what have you took since having surgery??

Also lately I feel the cold sinus thing going on -- what sorts of cold medicine are safe?

Thanks all!

I just had my one week post op appointment and my doctor's PA cleared me to start my BC again. I take the progestin only pill (also called the mini-pill). My dr. said that as long as the pill is as small as a pencil eraser or smaller then it shouldn't be a problem at the beginning. Of course, I would ask your doctor, this is only what mine said!

OH WAIT! I just saw that we have the same doctor...haha well that's awesome.

Do you go to Dr.Nick's support group meetings or do you go else where?

I haven't ever gone to the support group but I am definitely not opposed to it! You're doing amazing, 66 lbs already?!?! Wowza. Do you live in DFW? I live in Garland.
