Is It Better to Stay on the NuvaRing (Vaginal Birth Control Ring) During TT & BBL Surgery or Discontinue It for the Month?

Hello, I was wondering if it would be better to stay on my current birth control method of the Nuva Ring (Vaginal Ring w estrogen progestin) or to stop it the month of surgery. Would taking low dose ASA after surgery be enough of a blod clot preventative or should an injection like Lovenox/Heparin be used? This will be my 5th consecutive month on the Nuva Ring and I feel that my horomones and cycle have finally stabalized. Your opinions & comments are appreciated!
