Those that are planning permanent birth control after babys please read

If your looking into getting a tubal libations , DON'T DO IT!! I have had nothing but problems since. I did a small amount of research and stupid me listen to my sister, she never had it done but supposedly had friends to have it done. I was scared to have it done because of negative comments about it.. Well I should have listened to what I read. I almost backed out of it when I had my csection and wished I did. Mood swings are horrible, worse than ppd, bleeding is unreal ( super tampon and super pad in 30 mins) I know what's normal and what is not( this is my third child) and that's to name a few.. Now there talking about possible hysterectomy. Please do research and talk to a lot of people before doing it

My mom had one and it failed (she got pregnant) but thankfully she didnt have alot of other complications. Although what was the point if she got preggo? Infection and failure rates are so high even with the laproscopic option. Easier if they clip his nuts that way if I change my mind (which I do alot cuz im just like that) then its easier to have another

I hope everything turns out ok for you lady's that have had it done. I wished I could just feel normal :( I'm dreading my period to start back :(  and I pray to god I don't end up with ectopic too. I read the failed rates are higher when you have it done by csection which I did. And my moods wings are off the chart!!

My aunt had it done and she said it was horrible, she was depressed 24/7. Sorry that you're going through that.

That is true my doc actually thought I was going into menopause when I first went to see him. I kept telling him I wasn't. He did some tests and can actually check through the blood work. Turns out I am still very very fertile even with the tubal, and am definitely not going into menopause. I got pregnant on the pill and patch before. It was only then that he checked me for cancer because he did not believe I could get pregnant again. When that came back negative he had no choice but to test for pregnancy. I'm still waiting to find out. I've had 10 home tests all positive but the blood doesn't show high. So I just had another ultrasound and I'm awaiting results tomorrow to see if they found the baby and where it I'd. Trust me ppl fo not want to experience the pain and sadness I have gone through these past few months, its terrible!:(

I'm glad you posted this because I'd never heard of this side effect. I have heard of tubal ligations cause women to prematurely go through menopause.

My husband wished he got a vasectomy too, nothing bad can come from that. He tells me everyday he feels so bad. The only reason I did it because I was already open or it would have never happened!

Yes, I have had a tubal worst mistake of my life. I haven't had a period since April and I might be pregnant but it might be a tubal pregnancy. I've been through the mill in this and never got over a 5 on the blood work but got a home positive test 10x. Needless to say after many many ultrasounds and blood tests and docs visits he is completely stumped. I'm awaiting yet more results tomorrow. I never wanted anymore kids after my 3 c sections but if i knew I could loose a child I would have never did it!:(

I'm glad he did, there is WAY less complications with them doing it. My doctor put me on b/c to try to help,( what the point of the tubal ligation) next step is hysterectomy :(  I wished mine would have done it instead

I did a lot of research on tubal ligations and made my hubby read the horror stories. After the first page he agreed to a vasectomy. Thank god for caring and considerate husbands! I was so terrified of having a tubal but we are pregnant with our 3rd and last so its make it or break it time. So relieved he agreed to it!

I really wished I had listened to what I had read and not by what my sister said. Did you have one also? I have had 3 csections and I never had problems with my other two so the tubal ligation could be the only thing. And I have had severe ppd and its nothing compared to this. And you would seriously think I was bleeding to death and the pain!!

Thankyou for sharing I completely understand what your going through the problem is you never hear about the bad stuff until its too late. If there is more awareness then less ppl will be going through what you and I are.
