Not sure if this is the right place, but looking for advice/help.. I've done my research, am 40, DH and I agree we've completed our family, have two lovely children and definitely don't/want want any more, etc. Trying to get a sterilisation through the NHS route, but I started asking for one in the first week of Jan and so far I've had two doctors (one male, one female, not sure if that's relevant) try to talk me out of it, then they caved and said they'd recommend me but that was a month ago and still no contact to book anything in. Getting a bit hacked off but equally I know the NHS is under stress so just wondering what others' experiences have been? Is there anything I can do to force the issue or do I need to give up and go private (not cheap?) Not interested in being talked out of it, I've had enough of that already so just wondering really...
