Hi Im a police officer and the last few months my periods were a lot heavier than normal and lasting way longer. It was starting to ruin my life and made my days on duty way more stressful. So my husband and I made the decision to do the nova sure and tubal ligation procedure. I had the procedure 4 days ago and now I'm wondering when should I return to work.. My doctor said a week but I'm concerned about getting in a foot chase or fight with someone and causing harm or damage to myself. Not to mention carrying and 15- 20 lbs duty belt around your wasit for 12 hours. Any advise from my sisters in blue???!!!!
