JessicaDiane1021 147 Posted July 2, 2013 I'm just curious.. But I'm on birth control and was wondering if anyone does NOT take it? Just takes precautions? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SueJH 205 Posted July 2, 2013 I was on birth control before my surgery. While in the hospital one of the people on the surgical team - don't know if she was a doctor or NP - took me off my pill. Mostly because I'm in my 40's and it is getting time to stop. I knew it was going to happen eventually. The only thing I'm worried about it that the whole reason I went on the pill initially as a teen was that I had the most horrific periods. Would be doubled over in pain and vomit it hurt so much. Now I'll have to wait and see how it goes. I should be getting it by now, but I just read a post that some people seem to be irregular after surgery and some even miss a month.

Corky6984 134 Posted July 2, 2013 I was on birth control and was told to be off it a month before my surgery and a month after. I was horrified that I was gonna have my issue that I had for being put on birth control in the first place, but so far so good. I will be starting back on it July 17th, which is exactly a month after my surgery. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
