I am 32 and have two dc, age 8 and 2.
I have a boyfriend but we do not live together, and it's long distance so we only see each other every 2 weeks. I use the rhythm method of contraception, as I have done for the last 11 years, but I've recently decided that I am pretty certain I definitely don't want any more kids.
I feel like I am fighting a constant battle to not get pg. I really don't want to take any kind of hormonal contraception, and I can't have a copper coil as I'm allergic to copper. I am going to be studying from sept for the next 4 years, then hopefully starting a rewarding career. The thought of getting pregnant again makes me really anxious and I wonder if sterilisation might be the best way forward.
My bf says he really wants to have a baby with me but he already has 3 with different mothers so not the best track record. I got pg for the first time 10 years ago and I now feel its time to try and make something of my life and give the kids I do have the best life I can, not have any more.
Do you think I'm a bit nuts to be considering this at my age?
