Hi ladies, my surgery is this week 12/15 and i just know im going to start my period either night before or day of ive had a few procedures and diff. Surgeries in the past 2 years and for every one of them my period came up to a week or 2 early on the day of procedure. I guess its some kind of stress response triggers hormone change 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ also last month it was early and i got it exactly on nov. 15 so ive been dreading dealing with this huge life change, pain and healing in hospital with horrible period on the side. So my main question after probably too much info is will i be able to use tampons within hrs of postop or should i just resign myself to pads?? Im concerned about the bending over to insert and all that. Thanks
