Hi there, I was wondering if any women out there were on their monthly cycle during the procedure? My surgery is scheduled for May 19, and at that time, I will be on my cycle. My surgeon said it was fine, but I was just wondering what anyone who went through this thought? I'm kind of nervous about it. Thank you!

I had my period during my surgery and it was not bad. The doc said it would be fine, and there were no complications, nerve racking though.lol

LOL, ok thanks so much for your reply. I am just so nervous about that for some reason. I can't wait to have the surgery, but when I heard the date, I sighed, that's for sure! Congrats on your progress by the way!

Ugh, I had it too (go figure)! I told the nurse when I went down to pre-op and they eventually made me remove my tampon for a 1940s-style pad (although diaper would be more appropriate). They also gave me some big, stretchy "underwear." It definitely was uncomfortable, as I haven't worn a pad since I was 12...but not the end of the world. I was super light, fortunately, so I didn't even think about it until the middle of the night when I went to the bathroom (and discarded the diaper for a lovely Tampax Pearl :thumbup:

It certainly isn't ideal, but you'll be absolutely fine! Heck, once the surgery is over, bleeding will be the last thing on your mind. Hello, Dilaudid drip!

lol, your post made me laugh, so thank you! Well atleast I can look forward to wearing a diaper, haha. Thank you for easing my mind! I guess I have other things to worry about!

Cheers on your success!
