Pre-hysterectomy: Am I crazy??
Ok I want your female (non-medical) advice!!
My hysterectomy is scheduled for Jan 25, 2016. I am 34, and I'm currently on birth control pills for heavy heavy periods (I've had a tubal for sterilization) I scheduled my hysterectomy because I'm not tolerating the pills well at all...they are making me crazy, but I also think I may take them for ONE MORE MONTH. Just to assure my tubes don't come untied and I end up preggers before my hysterectomy. That would be devastating and the total pits. And also to make my last period I ever have bearable.
What do you think? Am I crazy? I think I can deal with the emotions for 4 more weeks. Should I go ahead and stop the pills?

Re: Pre-hysterectomy: Am I crazy??
Once I scheduled up my hysterectomy (TAH scheduled for 12/8), I stopped taking my BCPs. I was super scared about getting pregnant in the meantime as well so I took a morning after pill immediately after fun time with DH.

At least I know I'm not the only one scared about getting preggers! And my tubes are tied!! LOL The morning after pill will make you crazy too tho. I'd rather just stay on my pills.

This would be a good question for your doctor. I would call the office and see what they suggest. Maybe they can prescribe something different, or advise you on what to do. Follow their advice, as you don't want your surgery to be cancelled.

I had my tubes tied at 21 and haven't used BC regularly for 8 years and it's held ... If your sterilized you should be good to go... I don't tolerate hormones well either so none for me!
