Hiya, so my op is on Wednesday and mother nature has hit with a vengence! I’m worried now because I’m going to be on my period for my op? Has anyone else been in this situation? What happens? ? didn’t even think about it happening tbh and cos I’ve stopped my pill I wasn’t really keeping track!x
I came on about 12 hours after my op, typical! It wasn’t as bad as I thought, just had plenty of below the waist showers! I did bleed for longer tho? Probably just a coincidence. Good luck for wed xxx
It’s not so much after the op, it’s during! ? I’ll. Be a sleep to shower with ease but I’m just worried about the day! Paper knickers and things!? ? sods law! Haha! Aw thank you. Don’t suppose you know where I can get some ice packs from?x
I didn’t have to wear paper pants, I wore my own in surgery, it wasn’t discussed if I was on my period beforehand with the nurse, but I have been put in paper pants after a c section and they held up quite well, so for a short op like ba things should be OK if u have to wear them, u will be able to change again after ur op is finished. And I already had ice packs, but a friend of mine got hers from the pound shop lol u no the kids Mr bump ones, they are the perfect size apparently. I havnt needed mine once yet tho, x
I told them when I arrived they said they would get me a sanitary towel to go in paper knickers but then she came back and said I was fine with whatever and could wear my own knickers under my paper, I was actually glad of this hope this helps xx
Thank you girls! It’s reassuring to hear! I’ll just mention it to the nurse when I’m there and see what she says. Couldn’t of been a more awkward time to come on!! ?
I’ll pop in pound land, I didn’t think of there! I just read on here that a few girls said they helped loads so hopefully IF I need them, at least I have them! This will be my last Monday of crap boobs! Yikes!!xx
It’s the best feeling ever nikki! To finally have good boobs after so many years, I am completely in love with them ?lol xx
I badly didn’t want to be on, during or whilst revering so I went to the docs and got noresthisterone. My doc says they are known as the holiday pill. Stop u having a period for 2weeks or if ur on, can make u come off. I would use them. Had my BA done today my poor hubby is wiping my bum, I couldn’t imagine being on as well xx
I’m getting so nervous now! But I just can’t wait! My admission is 3pm so that’s a bit crap and it’s gonna be a long day but it’ll be worth it! Xx
Oh no! Are you that restricted? Hope I come off my Wednesday! I’ve got no one to wipe my bum haha! X
Mine was 12 and if I remember rightly I was out by 5, I don’t no if u have already said but who with and where nikki? I havent needed any help with toilet or anything etc, I even got myself dressed after the operation, I was out of the clinic 45 mins after the op! Everyone has a different recovery, and I was definitely 1 of the lucky ones, I have had no pain, just some minor discomfort. Xx

I’m at Preston with Traynor! I’m so bloody nervous, but now I keep getting the feeling it’s gonna get cancelled! I hope I’m like you, I do have quite a high pain threshold so I’m hoping I can just plod on! Xx
