Wasn't sure where to put this but I thought "pill" section would be okay. Did anyone take BCP's right after surgery? You have to take one a day so I am worried that I won't be able to swallow one the day after surgery.

I think the doctors usually want you to use alternative BC methods for a month or so after surgery due to the increased risk of blood clots with the pill. I would check with your doctor.

could get an implant or shots & make him wear a condom.. try the ones made from lamb skin membrane. they don't stop disease, but they stop sperm & they're extremely thin.

I took my pill up until morning of surgery (9/13/12). My surgeon said I could resume following day, which was yesterday. I haven't tried yet, but plan to start my new pack tomorrow. He said I shouldn't have any problems because they're so small. I did contact my obgyn, and she said there's a birth control patch or chewable pills, in the event i have an issue. Good luck!

It's funny how all Doctors differ. My op is October 2 and my last dose of Bc was August 28. When I went for all my pre op appointments (gyno, endo, pcp and surgeon) they all said the same thing-no birth control pills until 2-3 months after surgery. I'm gonna take 3 months just to

Be on the safe side. I'm too afraid to get a blood clot!

I am going to have to look into the patch or something, I was wondering this myself. I take my pill not for contraception, but to help keep my endometrial hyperplasia at bay. Without the pill I bleed nonstop. 172 days at the longest.

I take mine for heavy/long periods. I took my pill this morning for first time since surgery, which was this past Thursday, and I didn't have any issue.

Mine also said to stop immediately at my last appt. didn't ask when I could resume. I just assumed after my first period post-op. I sure hope so. It so helps with regulation and shortens the "flow". I know you have to use a second method for a while too. So wish hubby wasnt such a baby and just go get snipped. I had two c-sections, is a minor out patient procedure too much to ask for?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
