I have heard that there are alternatives. That rather than have the tubes/tied/brunt/cut that one can have clips put on them, in case you decide later on you want a child.. Any truth to this??

I had this procedure done 24 years ago. I have enjoyed much sex. Had two children and never have worried about the process and have no regrets about having only two children; which I love.

This was a painless and scareless process. I have not had to worry becoming preganent. So, not matter how outdated is process is I am 45 years old now and have total satifcation. I have to take not medication or nothing..

Be Blessed.

I had a vasectomy about ten years ago. No problem. It did not hurt, well a little. And it has been a wonderful thing in our life as my wife and I may keep a loving intimate relationship without the fear of unwanted pregnancy.

A freiend of ours used Abortion internet sites and Obgyn sites and found great help.

However, we believe in the right to choose but find ourselves in the difficult position when we would consider that choice for ourselves. We could conceive, but it would be very difficult for us financially, and I do not think we would opt for an abortion- ie, our choice.

I suspect many people are like this in this position. It brings us great joy. And just as one of the commentaries suggested I am tested every once in a while to make sure no little swimmers make it out of there. They are really sneaky, you gotta be careful.

Hi Crystal, I agree with you 100%.

Tubals are well know to have a quoted 1/100 failure rate. The tubes are amazing at growing little tubules back. However I believe this post to still be very relevant. Perhaps you ad to it’s importance. Despite the irreversible and permanent nature of tubal ligation, failures may occur, and if you ever wanted the reversed, it is super expensive and the reversal does not work most the time.

This reveals that the alternatives in my opinion are still much better than tubul tying relegating to very very uncommon subsets of women who shouldhave them. Still much better to try a IUD (with barrier contraception – if releveant – for a near 0% failure rate).

Or a vasectomy, much easier than a tubal. Same reversal issues and failure rates that are much lower when done by people who do them frquently and when the man has the occasional sperm check to make sure the vasectomy worked.
Unwanted oregnancy is a horrible outcome after utilyzing really good birth control, and places the women in a very difficult position.

Take Care Crystal.
I hope youproceed however you desire, and wish you the best in all your endeavors whatever the may be!

Hey it would be great if there was a phone number to call to find a good OBGYN or health care provider where I live. I see them on other sites. I awould appreciate the same here.
Thanks for the great insight, i doubt I would ever hear this from my OBGYN.
