This may be a really dumb question, but will they post pone your surgery? I have a similar fear.

i was on mine when i had my surgery, i just told them and they gave me one of those massive granny pads they have lol, not sure if its diffrent in the states

No reason for them to postpone it, if you let them know then they will handle it appropriately.

Mine is due at the time! They said to let them know because you can't have the shots to avoid blood clots while on period. Be sure to tell them

To a doctor a period is just like any other day. They may make some changes in meds for bleeding after surgery but they'll usually just keep the area well covered and do the surgery anyways. Might not be too much fun for you if you are the type to cramp. Remember no meds but Tylenol. Do not take Advil or Aspirin and even Midol or any meds like that can affect you during surgery because they can thin blood and they could postpone, so stay with the plan and Good Luck!

Ha! I got my period on 6/21 & had surgery 6/22, lol. They let me keep my pad & underwear on. No worries whatsoever.

Y'all was lucky cause I had my period and they made me take my pad off no underwear and they didn't give me anything. When I went to the bathroom I had blood all on my legs
