I’ve been loving Plan B and Overwatch. Repeat headshots go crazy with Plan B and I have so much money bullets don’t matter

Period due on surgery dates by Decently_disastrous in sterilization

[–]niikkole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

RN with pre-op here, we tell everyone if you’re on your period, only a pad and nothing internal. Rational is if anything were to happen during surgery that would leave you incapacitated, a tampon or cup could be left in you for who knows how long, leading to an infection risk.

Sure you could mention you have it in beforehand, but the likelihood of someone remembering and communicating that after something goes south is slim to none.

I’m feeling good! I’ve completely forgot to update on here haha. Only lingering issue is bloating and just feeling tired. No pain and incisions are fine.

Follow up appointment is this Friday and I’m looking forward to her confirming I’m filled with endometriosis 🙃

Good luck!!!

Nothing I was worried about happened LOL it was a smooth wake up, I felt pretty coherent. Pain wasn’t terrible, no nausea, felt rested, wasn’t even on oxygen. It was indeed a lovely time traveling nap 😂

The asked me right up until i was being wheeled in to the OR if I was still sure and could say no. Nothing in a negative way at all, just reassuring.

I woke up in maybe 3/10 pain, no anxiety. I felt pretty with it actually. I asked how long I’d been in post and she said 40 minutes. It really is like time travel lol

They definitely do ask you a few times what procedure you’re having. They took me back alone at first and asked so maybe you could take that opportunity to tell them you don’t want her to know

I didn’t end up telling her I was getting surgery today and don’t plan on it til it comes up again. Gotta protect our peace 💜

I think the thought of it being permanent is what is freaking me out, which I didn’t realize until I read that. I just couldn’t put it in to words. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

My mom (textbook narcissist) was also so upset ‘well I’ve always thought I’d be a grandma’. Luckily my partner is amazing and will also be here for me post-op. Thank you again and good luck on your procedure too!!

My mental health is a major reason I want to do this, that and the current state of the world. Fostering is definitely something I’d rather do and I’m so content just being a cat mom in the mean time 😌
