Did anyone go into surgery when it was "that time of the month"? If so how did they handle that?

I had surgery on wednesday and it was that time of the month... It was very light so I didn't really needed need any sanitary supplies but the nurse said it would be fine if i did, and just to let the O.R. nurse know so they wouldn't think anything was wrong. No Biggie!

Yes, I had the lovely experience of mother nature during surgery. They would not allow me to wear a pad or a tampon in surgery. They put something underneath me, so it wasn't really a big deal, just a little aggravating.

I didn't have surgery during my TOM but it was close. I was told at my pre-admit that I should be prepared with sanitary items. They gave me Heprin to prevent blood clots and apparently it tends to make you start. They usually ask you about you TOM when you pre-admit. If the surgery date is really close to your pre-admit date, you may want to call and ask your Dr. and see how they would handle that. If I've learned anything from this site, it's every Dr. handles things differently. Good luck on your surgery.

I have been having my period forever because of hormone issues. I was having it when I had the surgery. When I came out, it looked like I had hemmoraged down there because of the blood thinner they gave me. It was a little embarassed being cleaned off...but they are nurses so I guess that's their job. Make sure they know so they can put a pad under you or something.

I thought I would be off by the time I had surgery, but of course it just had to linger a little longer. I was not flowing heavy but they would not let me wear anything and yes I bled, which is embarrasing but I guess they are most likely used to it. The surgery will most likely make you bleed more anyway with the meds and such.
I had mine on the 17th and was menstrating and they let me wear a tampon to surgery. It really depends on the dr. I think and if you will have a catheter or not. I did not so I was cleared to wear the tampon.
