Dr. said I should STOP taking Birth Control before surgery?

I called my Dr. to find out if I should continue to get my monthly injections of Lunelle the month before my surgery. I was informed by the physician's assistant that I should not get the injection the month prior to surgery because it can increase my risk of clotting. Now I'm afraid of blood clots. I have read on this website that most Dr's. encourage their patients to stay on birth control prior, during and after surgery. Has anyone had similar experiences? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
