    Hi 🙂

    So I was 1/4 way through my packet when I had to come off for my op…. I’ve come on and only 5 days until op…I hope it stops!

    Did anyone have this? Did it mess up your cycle? How did you go about starting/finishing the packet?xx

    I stopped 2 weeks before and came on and finished before my op, I was told by the nurse to chuck the packet I was using away and then wait until I come back on and when I do come back on on the first day take a pill from a new packet and begin from there but each nurse suggests different I think so not 100% xx

    Yeah I came off about 1 1/2 before , about 1/4 through the packet, came on today 🙁 5 days to go so hopefully will stop !!

    You are supposed to come off to reduce risk – I think it’s like blood clots etc because the pill thins the veins? Something like that. Ask your nurse hun on pre-op she will advise you !

    Ok that would make sense hannah…. Start again after the next period…. Oh the joys of being s girl lol! Xx

    It depends what pill your on Lorna. I was allowed to continue taking mine, double check with your nurse if your not sure xx

    Yeah I ended up being on for the op. The nurse told me most people are. Must be because of the stopping the pill situation x
