I would assume right away? I took B/C the whole way through. Although I have an IUD...but that is still sending out hormones like the pill does.

yeah, mine is a pill. they requested that we stop it a few weeks before surgery. but...i would think its ok, now, also. i would ask the doctor but that won't be until monday and SUNDAY is the perfect day to start it unless i wait a month and i don't want to do that lol.

That DEGirl, the pill is notorious for making women more prone to blood clots, which I'm sure you know! Perhaps each patient is different; since KristyLynn's doc asked her to stop it, (understanding how important it is that she not get pregnant right away) it's probably for a good reason, and she should clear with him before she goes back on it!

I wasn't telling her to go back on it, I was telling her *my* experience. Thanks for your input anyway.

I was also told that I didn't have to stop taking mine. The only thing that they have patients stop at my surgeons practice, is blood thinners.
Did you have the heparin shots before/after surgery? Perhaps that makes a difference?
I'm not a doctor...just throwing out ideas.
Like the PP....I think that your docs word should be given on whether or not you start. Having a Monday start instead of Sunday wouldn't make much difference....
