female only Period day of surgery and after

[AmBeR09 60]

I see lots of period questions on here but not sure if I have seen this. Have any of you went into surgery with your period and how long after surgery did it last? Getting blood thinners while being a patient obviously didn't help my matters any but I feel like I have had a period for forever and it isn't decreasing. I'm 4 days post op and had a period 5 days before going into surgery.

I had my period while goin into surgury and nothing happened. They changed me and everything. It lasted my normal 5 days.

I was on day 5 of my period for surgery. Mine normally last 5-6 days and this one lasted 7. I'm actually glad it happened like that because now I don't have to worry about it until I'm a little more healed.

Not to scare you but mine lasted 2 weeks after my surgery. I think its different for everyone.

I think that's where mine is headed. As long as I'm not alone in this I feel a bit better. I've never had a normal one since my tubes were tied anyways, but never this long either.

I started my period the day of surgery (probably 4 hours before the actual surgery) and I'm not sure if blood thinners made it worse. I had to wear a pad and that sucked so much and of course I bled on the bed. Not being able to take a shower sucked also and every time I went to the bathroom I got blood all over the toilet, it was so bad.

Mine was heavier with the blood thinner. But I started bleeding the 7th. I'm still bleeding today. It is getting lighter. Hoping it'll be gone soon

Well mine was a little different I had a regular period on 6/4/13, was sleeved on Monday 6/24/13. On Friday 6/28 got another period and now it just comes at the end of the month now.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go through that :-( My surgery is tomorrow and I can feel that it will probably come a few hours before or even during! I hate the thought of that. Ugh. One more thing to deal with! This might be a stupid question lol, but did you tell your Dr before going in to surgery? Do you think that having your period would change anything in the surgery?

Stupid auto correct...... L O L

I told them and they just made sure I had something underneath me. The blood thinners during the stay is what I think made if drag out soooo long. Thank god that's over!! I took pads with me. It won't effect your surgery best wishes tomorrow !
