Did anyone else have their period on the day of surgery? I'm usually right on schedule, and should have it the day of surgery. Were you able to wear a tampon?

I can't imagine why they would say that. ..

A friend of mine is an anesthesiologist, she said that 1 in 4 women coming in for surgery will have their period. It's normal. It depends how strong you're feeling, but I'd definitely challenge them to explain what problems your period would cause.

I sent them an email asking and they didn't elaborate, but it seems very strange? I've ordered the pills anyway, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take them if I can't eat/drink anything before surgery?

I had my period when I had my gallbladder removed.... Similar type of surgery.... They had me take my tampon out and just put pads under me they had no problems or concerns about me being on my period

Ugh!! Mine started 2 or 3 days early, I assume due to the stress. I checked in for my surgery, went to the bathroom, and there it was! The nurse told me that happens a lot. I just wore a pad, it wasn't a big deal at all. Bring baby wipes, in case you can't shower for a few days. I wasn't allowed to shower until my drainage tube was out.

I haven't had a period in months. I am not consistent at all. And of course...my surgery is Friday and I started it today
