Who's had their tubes tied?

[yULeYSEES]

I am seriously considering this but want to know the risks?

[NotAnOtter]

this too??? are you having a mid life crisis?

[Loshad]

er, the sh*t SR is too busy thinking about her dinner, shoves whatever it is they put up your fanjo (not that she's told you she's shoving anything up there right through your uterine wall, and causes massive rupture. They then have to open up your belly ( having delivered 4 children pv you now have large section type scar) and find lifting/drving etc very painful for next few weeks. you were expecting to be out same day (bf 1 y.o) spend 5 days in hospital, the antibiotics they then give you give your one yo terrible diarroheoa (sp!) and so forth
should have sued the stupid s** but didn't.
only risks they mentioned were those of failure

[NotAnOtter]

that'll be a 'no' then!

[yULeYSEES]

blimey loshad, sounds like you had an awful time

Notanotter, been bare for a while so that's nothing new. Was pondering another kid but now I'm sure I've had enough at 2 and just want a dog

[meysey]

do check the side effects. my mum had this done and regretted it as no-one told her she would get menopausal symptoms.

[MerryChipmonkAndAHappyNewey]

Menopausal symptoms! Is that normal? Didn't know about that.

[yULeYSEES]

I didn't know that either!

[mears]

menopausal symptoms are not a result of sterilisation meysey. Depends what age your mother was.

I have been sterilised without any bother at all.

Very sorry to read your experience Loshad. Were you having a D&C at the same time? That is not always done, I certaily didn't therefore no chance of rupture.

[Loshad]

I wasn't mears - unless she decided to do one without telling me

[yULeYSEES]

mears, thanks for the positive message Hope there's a few more?

[rhubarbcat]

I've had it done - no problems. I stayed awake for mine as well, seemed a simple proceedure.

[meysey]

Sorry to worry anyone unnecessarily. I am not saying everyone will get menopausal symptoms, just to look into it before you decide as tubal litigation can affect blood flow to the ovaries according to this website and others..
