The pill Started by: rumandblack

    I have been on a few forums and some of the women have been told that they should stop taking the pill 2 weeks before they have breast surgery. I am having my ba on 17th August but my surgeon did not mention anything about me stopping the pill. Has anyone been told to stop taking the pill? What are the risks if you continue to take the pill before your ba?

    Heyy
    It does say in the info that your PC gives you on your first consultation that you should stop taking your pill 2 weeks before your ba. However, i only read this 1 week before my ba lol. My surgeon said i may awell continue taking it because it’s only beneficiary to stop taking it 2 weeks before. Also, i really didn’t want to be on my period during my ba. I think it is to do with blood clots and DVT but look in your info because it should all be in there. I took mine before my ba….and nothing seems to have gone wrong…but thats just me…It’s probably worth considering though..that after your ba you are on antibiotics for a week so your pill is less effective anyway for the week that you are on them and then a further week after that. So might be worth coming off it?! i don’t know…however, if i had read the info in time..i would have stopped taking my pill 2 weeks before…hope that helps a bit!?!
