The surgical coordinator called me just now to give me the run-down of what to stop taking 30 days prior, and she mentioned birth control. January, I had an IUD put in (Skyla), so I asked her about this. She said it would need to be removed prior to surgery, due to the risk of blood clots from hormones. Does this sound right? I have no intention of removing my IUD- is it really something I should worry about?
