Contraceptive

Hey girls,
I’m booked for surgery on the 19th June (4 weeks Monday) my pre op isn’t until the 1st June but I’ve read on here that the nurse tells you to stop taking the pill 4 weeks before your op.
Should I stop on Monday or wait for my pre-op???
Thanks x

I was told that I don’t need to stop taking the contraceptive pill but I had my surgery today and all the paperwork I had to sign said taking it increases your risk of blood clots and that you should stop 2 weeks before. If I’d known that I definitely would of stopped taking it, but hopefully everything will be okay xx

At my initial consultation they told me I’d have to stop taking it 4 weeks before so I knew to do that anyway and then I think you can’t take it for 2 weeks after or something, I would deffo stop taking it, this is the longest I’ve stopped mine in 4 years and omg I haven’t been this hormonal ever before!!! Better to be safe than sorry tho xx
