Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
That should be no problem. 100 micrograms is a low dose. Depending on the bleeding time, normal dose is 5-10 milligrams. If the bleeding time is also high on the day of the surgery, there may be a possibility of giving her some frozen plasma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
