Getting tubes tied?

[kingivan]

Is there a certain age or certain requirements to get a tubal ligation??

No birth control aside from abstinence is 100%

I know some insurances have a waiting period to make sure it's your best decision. Here in CA I knew of a girl who was 22 with 3 kids and got hers done after waiting 30 days cuz she had family pact program.

Is getting your tubes tied 100 % effective though like isnt there a small percentage that u can still get preggers ? I live in CA also and its either me or my hubby that will get this procedure done. .birth control doesnt really work well with me and my anxiety

In texas you have to have three or more kids or you have to be over the age of 25, or if your spouse wants it to be done then you can get it done which i think is really messed up cus he isnt the one who has to carry the child for nine months i am. Lol

I am assuming so...I seriously get so annoyed they Keep asking! I just have read about a lot of woman having bad side effects after having it done and its not like normal birth control where if it effects you negatively you can just stop to make sure it is the b control and not something else. To perminate forme. Now if it prevented pregnancy and you would never have a period again I might give it a chance ;-)

Then it has changed....in PA that is

I live in PA and am 25...having a csection june 10. This will be my second child and they literally have asked me EVERY time I be gone in if I wanted it done even though I continue to tell them no !!

I would ask your ob, cause some states do have certain laws for it. Like I'm in CA I'm 24 and this is my 3rd child. I'm having a tubal cause 1: we don't want anymore kids, 2: my body cannot handle more c sections or pregnancies. So the dr agreed its the right move

I know here in PA, you have to be 25 or under with three or more children. That goes for men and women. That info is a few years old, not sure if it has changed, but last I knew that was the requirement in PA
