The day I had my surgery 5 weeks ago I started my period and it changed nothing. My nurse said "We can't stop mother nature can we?" I had a laparotomy (bikini incision like a c-section), cysts removed from both ovaries, a hysteroscopy and a d&c to remove a fibroid. I am assuming you are having a laparoscopy? If so they will be going through your abdomin and not through your vagina. To make yourself feel better you can give your doc's office a quick call, but I would be surprised if they called it off. Hope this helps :o)

Typical isn't it? Anyway i also started my period with my last laporoscopy and hysteroscopy but they still did the procedures. I had a D&c, laser surgery on Endo, Adhesions seperated, cervix quarterised, I also had endo removed from my pouch of douglas. So I had quite a lot done and it didn't seem to bother the surgeon that i was bleeding. If anything I think that is why they saw so much as that is when my pain is at its worst when I ovulate. but it is good advice to check with your surgeon before the op. but it would be strange if they said they couldn't.

thanks for posting on this post and ya ur right we cant stop mother nature and ther doing a scope and removing a cyst.and my parents are going to call the dr today to make sure they do it thou
