    Hi girls, so I’m on the combined pill. My surgeon said he doesn’t care whether i stop or not, my nurse said i have to come off and my mum who’s a nurse said it’s fine if i want to switch to progesterone only which would be safe. So confused! Has anyone else switched to the POP pre-op? Xx

    Hi,
    I was on the pill beforehand and my surgeon told me I didn’t need to stop taking it and therefore I was going to carry on.
    However, the nurse told me I must stop taking the pill and apparently it’s because it’s within their policy even if the surgeons have a different opinion. Eventhough I didn’t want to, i stopped taking the pill 2 weeks before the op so that it would not cause any problems and MYA would be happy.
    I asked my surgeon when I could start to take the pill again afterwards and she said the next day but after MYA recommend 2 weeks after as well.
    I’m just going to do it just in case and that way, it’s not my fault if anything goes wrong as I’ve followed their instructions xx
