Sterilazation, dh or I?

We have two dc, and we both know that we do not want any more. However, my dootor stated it is unlikely that a hospital would allow it. My dh is 27, and I am 25.

The doctors stated it is often "easier" for a man, and my dh has stated he wants to have it over me iykwim.

I'm currently got the implant, so not in a big rush, but not sure which osne of us should have the operation.

How did you decide?

my doctor suggested to me that I get sterilised at 25! I had gone to get more pills and he asked if I wanted more children to which I replied 'no'. He said I shouldn't be on the pill for longer than 5 yrs so should have the op

Different Dr's obviously have different attitudes. A friend of mine had two lively boys with her DH. She had an older boy from a previous relationship, as did her DH. Yet the GP refused to sterilise, as she was 27.
