I have just remember that the nurse said that I should come off the pill 2 weeks before my op and 2 weeks after. Has anyone else had to do this? I really dont want to come off the pill, i have 2 daughters already and the thought of getting pregnant again scares me! Coming off the subject slightly…… I cant wait to heal and slap some fake tan on!! I haven’t bothered as my ops coming up and I feel naked! lol xxx

Your supposed to be off it for 4 weeks in total as it really increases your risk of bloodclots. Just tell him to wrap it up 😉 xx

U should come off well before operation or not come off at all because of blood clots and hormone changes. I stayed on mine and just realised once I started taking antibiotics they wouldn’t work anyway. But was only on them a couple days as had a very bad reaction so hardly took them. Sorry to change but @ Freya hope u ok.xx

Hi,

I was told that its your own choice to take or to stop it just gives an increased risk of DVT.

If you’re going to continue taking you pill the only advice I am knowledgeable to give is to keep as active as possible to reduce the increased risk of DVT (sounds very contradictory I know haha) x
