Tubes tied

My3LilMonkeys replied: My Dr. told me that they don't generally do it on patients under 25 but they do make exceptions.

luvbug00 replied: he wants what??? OMG I'd smack him. sorry I don't know about a limit but I wouldn't do it if I were you.you WILL regret it.. just a thought based on your other posts...

TANNER'S MOM replied: I think a doctor sets his own limit? At my doctors it was 25 or 3 children.

At your age I would not. I did it after my 3rd. It was right for me. But I would say do not do it under 30 unless you have medical problems.

If your Dh wants you to do it, I would give the option of a vasectomy also. They are alot less expensive, and honey you will feel no pain!

1lilpeanut2love replied: OMG!! I WOULD NOT DO IT! YOU ARE TOO YOUNG! IF HE WANTS YOU TO DO IT SO BAD MAKE TELL HIM NO HE CAN DO IT TO HIMSELF-vasectomy! YOU HAVE A LOT OF LIFE LEFT WHO KNOWS DOWN THE ROAD MAYBE HE WILL WANT MORE KIDS.


I HAVE A QUESTION WHY DOES HE NOT WANT TO HAVE NO MORE KIDS SO BAD FOR?? AND HOW OLD IS HE??

I REALLY HOPE YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT LATER!

luvmykids replied: I knew I wanted to get it done, me or DH. Of course that was after twins and being pg a little more than a year later .... I wanted one of us to do it and he was chicken but I was sure enough that I didn't want anymore, and wouldn't even if something happened to DH that I just volunteered. I get baby fever, for sure, and sometimes wish I still had the option but know I wouldn't make good on it.

I was 31 btw. My doc readily agreed to it, he did wonder if I wanted to think about it but when I said no he said ok.

PrairieMom replied: I would refuse. if he want's permanent birth control so bad he should get a vasectomy. It is so much easier for the man.
DH an dI have already discussed it for the future and he has agreed that he will be the one to get "fixed"
IMO you are to young to make that kind of decision. Who knows what the future may bring? that is a big thing to regret doing.

jacobsmama replied: I can't imagine that any doctor will tie your tubes with your age and one child. But I agree with other Never do it now because you will most likely regret it.

Don't do it girl.....If he doesn't want more kids....then he should be the one that gets snipped....

Plus...correct me if Im wrong...but was it you that was talking about marriage problems? If Im wrong...then ignore this...But what happens if things don't work out ? Then you are permanently fixed and to get it reversed is alot of $$$.

luvmykids replied:
The way mine was done can't be reversed, he actually cut them and sautered them so there was no chance of them growing back together. So keep that in mind!

1lilpeanut2love replied: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE JUST DON'T DO IT!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: well just by your post NO WAY should you even considering having this done. If he does not want more than he can get snipped.

jcc64 replied: at this point in your life, I think it would be a bad decision, particularly since it's coming from someone other than you. If dh wants to be completely "safe", let him undergo the procedure. Medically, it's less invasive for the man- quicker recovery, no hospital stay, and besides, he's the one that wants the "insurance".
Who knows what the future may hold for you both? Why close the door at such a young age? There are many other options.

CosmetologyMommy replied:
He is 21 almost 22 and I will be 21 in 3 weeks! Honestly I do not know why he is soo against it. He comes from a family of 6 and not that long ago he wanted another. I do not know but the only thing I can think of is that since his parents had so many kids he did not get a lot of toys and clothes growing up. They were actually sort of poor so maybe he does not want Aidan to go through that. But all I want is TWO! I would love more but I know it would burden us finacially. But 2 is a compromise.

kimberley replied: i suspect you may not find a doctor to agree to it at your age and why do something permanent to your body for someone else?!?! i strongly recommend you give this plenty of thought because from your posts, it does not sound like this is something you want to do.
