In my late 20s and considering tubal ligation, especially with all this abortion stuff going on. Am I too young? I feel confident that I don’t want kids and it’s not something I want want to get persuaded into doing if I meet someone, but I guess I’m afraid of the permanence?

It’s going to be hard to find a doc until you’re 30. Advocate for yourself to your OB, and if they won’t then call planned parenthood and ask for a recommendation on a new OB. I did mine at 30 and it was the best thing I ever did.

I definitely don’t think you’re too young (I’m 31 and have been thinking about it since i was in my early 20s), but if you’re worried about the permanence I wouldn’t do it.

That being said, less user error (missing doses) makes them “more effective”.

Hi,

I am 31. Married for 12 years. I spoke to my doctor two days ago about sterilization. It was the first time a gynecologist didn't judge me for that. I know they're supposed to council because of the risk of regret, but sometimes they seem judgy. I am considering getting my tubes tied, but my husband isn't super on board because of the finality of it.

He is ok with not having kids, but seems to think I will change my mind.
