Anyone have their tubes tied??

Just to let you know they are very hard to get approved for. We also are pretty sure we’re done having kids but since we are under 25, they refuse to do a permanent fix.

I had mine done at 24. They even asked me when I was 22 if I wanted it done (all be it, I lived in Florida…and the hospital I delivered, well, alot of the docs where idiots)

I had mine done when the boys were 6 months old. I was breastfeeding and just pumped and dumped after the surgery for a certain amount of time (I’m thinking maybe 8 hours). This is a personal decision and you have to do what is in the best interest of your family. Will send you a PM.

If this is what you want then I say go for it. I had mine done after our third daughter was born 3 yrs ago. My periods are heavier and more cramping than before. I can tell every month when I am going to ovulate. More than before. And yes I still have thoughts about wanting another one, but I know I can’t.

GOt mine done30 min I think fter the baby was born so I could keep the epidural..they cut me as I watched..I wasn’t freaked out-well I was at first- though Id feel it- but didnt and then went to sleep later- it hurt a tiny bit- it made using the restroom a bit harder- because if you wanted to go even pee it hurt- it felt like I was pushing on my cut- but it didnt hurt bad enough to cry or anything-and I couldnt hold the baby too much the first couple of days because I was pretty sore- and yes I held him while sitting but not standing..anyways..I now have a small scar..it lines with the inside of my belly button so nothing to visible. And it does not hurt your nursing- I am still nursing..and hmm..I think I answered all your questions…good luck! YOu will experience irregular bleeding for a while- I bled a little longer than usual, but eventually it went away..and nothing since!

Oh and yes- I do often think – even though realistically Idont want anymore- I still wish I had the option to. It is a little hard with that..

May I ask, why is he opposed? Just curious.

I now how you feel. I do regret mine too. I’m having Dr. Levin in Kentucky do mine this Feb of 09.

I agree with those who say dh should get a V instead of you. Besides, you went thru the 40 weeks of carrying how many children…plus labor and delivery! IMO, the men need to man up a little.

on a side note…when my husband complains about the over 40 physical (prostate check) I remind him that girls get up close and personal with their GYNs from the time they are teens – and it ain’t fun!

Oh, and, I doubt you’d be upset for long if you got pregnant. baby’s are the best!

I had mine done during my last c-section and I swore up and down I was done bc I did not think I could be a good mom to any more and our finances were making things tough BUT now things are getting better and my husband is making more money and we could handle and would love to have another:( I am really sad that my daughter will never have a sister…I don’t know what I would do if I did not have mine. DD has started calling her friends her sisters…breaks my heart!

I was so certain when I had it done so my advice is to have your husband snipped…its easier to undo.

Also…I have painful cysts that I NEVER had before…one made me think I had apendicitis! My periods also now drag on for days which is all new too…can’t wait for my next pap:)
