Question About Aunt Flo

saravalintine · December 17, 2007

I know this is prolly a stupid question but.... is it ok to have the surgery when you are on your period? Ive got mine and was just wondering if it will cause any complications during or after surgery. thanks:help:

Nope, it will be fine. Women have surgery all the time while having their period. But I would suggest tampons vs. the alternatives for your own sake.

Mine is truly a curse. Any major event or even not so major - Aunt Flo is there; from my wedding day, anniversary, birthday, our cruise, trip to Australia, prom, parties, etc my entire life!! Mine is honery enough that even if I mapped it out on a calendar, it will adjust to still show up early or late (what ever is necessary to screw up my plans).

So, just to be consistent, she was there when I had my lapband as well I can't go the tampon route so they give you these lovely mesh panties and a pad the size of a hand towel.

Good luck to you!!!!

Wombat, I can totally relate!

I always start every 26 days... EXCEPT when a big event pops up. My wedding was St. Patrick's Day this year and I was SUPPOSE to start a week and two days before my wedding. Well, guess what... I started at MIDNIGHT the day before my wedding.. well, I guess that makes it my wedding day.. but, I was in the middle of my Bachelorette Party and I told my friends "i just know Im' going to start either tonight or tomorrow" and sure enough I did. Not to mention, we went on a cruise for our honeymoon!! My mom said it was the stress from the wedding making me delay it. My hubby said I was thinking about it too much. LOL.
