female only Nuvaring During Surgery?

[fallingwhisper 187]

My doctors packet says I'm not allowed to take the pill 30 days before and after surgery. I take the lo seasonique and skip the sugar pills due to severe hyperplasia issues. Before I started the pill last year I had my period for 86 days and ended up needing a blood transfusion so it's kind of important that I have something in my system. I see the ob next week, and I have an appointment with my surgeon the same day to discuss options but i was wondering if anyone was allowed to have the Nuvaring in during surgery? That seems like it might be a good option for the short 60 days. Thanks in advance

I don't have a nuvaring, however I did check to see if my iud needed to be taken out because its hormonal and there were no issues.

I had to take my nuvaring out for 3 weeks prior to surgery because of the risk of blood clots

I'm hoping that my gyn and surgeon can find something that'll work for everyone, cause I think bleeding to death is a bigger possibility than blood clots!
