I think it is most unfortunate that you ladies are trying to be responsible and practical and doctors are not helping you.  I checked laws and there are no age requirement laws that I could find.  There are consent laws with spouses and as stated above, consent forms releasing doctors.  But to me, the ladies hoping for a tubal ligation seem really mature and thinking about doing it for the right reasons.   That stinks that the doctors are refusing.  

Would your husband have a vasectomy?  ??  that works too.

You should be able to sign a waver releasing your doctor of anything if you decide that you didn't want your tubes tied I'm 19 pregnant with my first and on my first appointment I had the option to have mine tied

My on office has 4 doctors in it. At my first appointment for this pregnancy we talked about it and in NY you have to be 23 and I'll be 20 when I have the baby. This is our 2nd and we don't want any more after cause I'm already putting my self and the baby at risk cause of medical problems and its going to take us 3-4 years just to pay this baby off and the on we saw said even if I was old enough he still would not let me do it because I'm too young -.-

I know here in New Mexico they'll do it at 23. But that's what I've heard. I don't understand why a doc wouldn't do it if you have had other children before.

For a guy its not much of a surgery for guys they're fine right after and can even have sex that night. But I'm pretty sure the law is you can get tubes tied at 25. Maybe try birth control + pull out method.
