birth control pills
Hi, I'm new. My date is set for April 14, 2006 for a total hysterectomy and removal of tubes and ovaries. I have battled endometriosis for many years and have reached the end of the road. The Doc has had me on BCP's for a few years even though my tubes are tied to suppress the endometriosis but I'm worried because I've heard they increase your chance of blood clots. Should I not refill the new pack and go off of them before the surgery? If anyone has experience with this question let me know.

Hi, that sounds like something that you need to discuss with your dr. That way you'll know for sure the correct thing to do. Mine gave me a list of both do's and don'ts while I was waiting for my surgery. It included meds.
Best wishes.

My surgery is tomorrow and the doctor kept me on my BC. I assume they don't want you body going through anymore than it's already is. My body was used to them so he said keep taking them. Took my last one today! YEAH!!!

I stayed on them until the day before my surgery as per instructions from the doctor although I have read from prior sisters that some are told to stop ahead of time.

I would call your doc and just check to see what he/she wants you to do. If he wants you to stay on them then maybe they will have a sample pack in the office so you don't have to 'throw away' any money.
