Surgeon Questions Birth Control

Can I take progesterone tablets before my fibroids surgery?

I am due for a surgery for my fibroids removal in two days time. Is it okay for me to take oral contraceptive pills till the day before my surgery?

You will be at an increased risk for blood clots.
Depending on the type of oral contraceptive you are taking, the medication may have an effect on the fibroids. You should call your OB/GYN to clarify prior to surgery.
This is DEFINITELY a question for your GYN or surgical physician doing your surgery!
Hello,
I am a weight loss surgeon, this is a better question for the hospital you are having surgery at or your own surgeon.
Not my field of expertise.
