Periods Started by: Jessica Loakes

I take tablets for my periods to reduce the blood usually. But I’ve had to stop these a month ago due to having my op in 2 weeks. I wouldn’t risk it, or if atleast phone and ask them x

I dont think they will allow you to take them to be honest as they are funny with medication being taken beforehand incase it messes your system up or reacts to anything they will be giving you. I have read if your going to be in your period on the day of surgery to wear a pad rather than a tampon because of toxic shock. As much as you probably dont like to use them i do think a pad would be easier to use instead of a tampon in the days after surgery xx

Hi hun!
I’m currently 17DPO and I had my period when I had my op. Everything was completely fine, the nurses are amazing!
I wouldn’t worry too much hun but I wouldn’t really recommend taking any other medication before your op as it might affect the aneasthetic. Definitely speak to one of the nurses beforehand to make sure that it is ok though if the medication is what you would prefer.

You should be ok to take then. Norethisterone is almost like the Pill and is hormane based so will not affect your clotting. Medications such as Tranexamic acid or Mefenamic that women take to cotrol bleeding are totally different and not suitable to take as cause clotting. Check with your clinic though but should be fine as long as you start taking it at least 3 days before you are due on
