I haven’t had mine yet, I’m scheduled to deliver baby 2 via csection June 28. My husband and I had discussed what we wanted to do as far as birth control etc after our second baby. I was debating between tubal and IUD. My husband said he could get a vasectomy if I didn’t want to have the tubal. I was team IUD at first because I have awful periods. I also had heard of ladies who didn’t have good experiences with tubals, however most of them had theirs clamped or burned not the actual tubes removed. My doctor was great about discussing this with me. my ob also said as I’m 28, make sure to consider if we may want another in a few years as we’d be able to. We still were 100% done. You’re 23, may be a bit early to close that door for yourself if you have any doubts. After lengthy discussions with my husband, OB and gynecologist/surgeon we are going a head with the tubal. My surgeon said I can change my mind at any time before the procedure and call it off, but once it’s done it’s 100% done. My OB explained it as if I have even the smallest doubt, the tiniest thought of another baby - don’t do it. It can’t be reversed. You can try IVF and that’s the only option once it’s done and there is no guarantees. As far as breastfeeding and such go, my Ob said it shouldn’t effect any of that :)We spent a long time discussing what we want. We are 100% sure we are done having children. If you are not ABSOLUTELY 100% sure, id say try an IUD or something instead that isn’t permanent.

Hi there, I did go ahead with the tubal and so far I haven’t noticed any difference at all. My recovery has been easier than my first csection, I will be 2 months pp tomorrow. My period isn’t back yet, with my son it took almost 2 years to come back so I don’t think it will be back soon this time either. My OB and Gyno said when the full tube is removed, as opposed to clamping or the other methods you won’t experience the nasty side effects of the older methods of tubals. I knew it was the right choice for me because I am 100% done with having children. My OB said if my periods are horrendous (they have been before) that an IUD is an option to minimize the symptoms. After having my last iud removed my periods we not as terrible as they had been in the past so I’m optimistic I won’t need hormonal assistance to manage them and the tubal will do the trick.

Hi I’m supposed to go in tomorrow to have tubes removed and I’m very nervous. Did you have any bad side effects from it?? I hear lots of negative stories of periods being worse after, pain after, etc.. I don’t want more kids but nervous I’m going to regret having it because maybe something would be worse after I get it done??
