Aunt Flow during Surgery?

[coolnessa22 26]

Hey Ladies HUGE question...I know this is personal and tmi but I was wondering if its bad having your aunt flow start during surgery? Because my Surgery in a week from Monday, April 15th and that is the day Aunt Flow is suppose to arrive and I'm thinking how embarrassing its going to be if I am.

It makes no difference at all and they deal with it all the time. You'll likely get a 'sexy' pair of mesh panties to wear and a pad about the thickness of a toilet paper roll....I do recommend bringing your own feminine supplies! More of an annoyance for you than anything

No worries. Soccermomma right. They deal w it everyday. I started on the table apparently!! I did warn them tho. It was a total pain in the ass after surgery tho. Dealing w a stupid pad while fighting the IV and all the other wires. Changing it while on bathroom breaks was a pain. I had to have help from my mom. :-). I wasn't allowed to use tampons.

But definitely don't b embarrassed.

Mine started the night before surgery, nurses were totally cool about it. Had to wear the awesome mesh panties during surgery, but my catheter was gone when I got to my room so they let me use tampons. Sweet ladies!

Oh and I was guessing it is going to be a hassle, and I know my mom got my back if I need her LOL but praying that it starts after surgery.

I rarely get them regularly with PCOS, and when I do, they are 7-12 days of holy hell! Well my surgery is in 9 days and I just started today! What tha????? This is my luck! I think it is all the hormones because of the rapid weight loss up until now cause this. Now I understand why I am losing hardly any weight on the liquid diet, all that Water retention. This is no bueno!

I started mine the morning I had my gallbladder removed. I didn't have the mesh panties. I had to "hold" the pad between my legs while trying to get over to the table.

Mrslulu

I'm a pcos girl too!!! That's what shocked the hell outta me when mine showed up. Now I'm like clock work something I never felt with before!

I feel for you all. I do not miss my two week flow. That's of the reasons i had my parts removed.

I've tried to get that also. Mainly bc I've had to have so many transfusions but my great insurance says no.. bit they'd rather pain thousands n hospital stays and transfusions? O.o

Well i had endometriosis, huge cysts, ect. Had a ablation and that did not work so it was a no brainer.
