I regret to inform you that soon, one of our favorite Austin area childfree resources will be discontinuing her availability. Dr. Michele Gilbert is stopping her practice on the 18th of December, 2009. But keep in mind, all of the doctors at the Renaissance Women's Group perform the Essure procedure, but Dr. Gilbert was our favorite because she ( Read more... )

Ok, some of you know me from CF_hardcore and childfree. I got the approval from my doctor today with no bingo-ing. :) I do not know if he is truly childfree friendly, but I proved I did my HW when talking about it today. I told him the methods I looked at and why I liked Essure the most. He simply said "ok!" without asking why I did not wish to ( Read more... )

Hello! I'm from Clearwater, FL. I'm looking for a doctor who will either do Essure or Adiana on a 26 CF woman. I love the GYN I am with now, but he won't do it on me. Anyone know of any CF friendly gynos? In Clearwater or Tampa? Thanks!!!!

I'm single, 29, never married, never pregnant, and was just approved for tubal ligation by Dr. Matthew Schubert in Saskatoon. No trying to talk me out of it, no dumb comments about how I might regret it. Dr. Schubert actually listened to what I wanted and respected my right to control my own body. If anyone in the Canadian prairies is having ( Read more... )

Does anyone know of a gyno that will do an IUD (Mirena) on a 22yr old? My doctor ordered the device for me, and after 2 months, I finally got it after a huge hassle, only for her to turn around, refuse to do it and basically accuse me of lying to get it, meanwhile she offered it and then wrote the prescription for the company ( Read more... )

I saw on cf_hardcore that someone hadn't had good luck finding a doc in Missouri. I gave her this info, but I wanted to pass it along here as well.

Lisa Powell is 100% behind personal choice. At my very first appointment with her, she happily set me up with a sterilization appointment. Due to some financial issues, I ended up not getting sterilized, and I ( Read more... )

I'm 20 and I just got approved for sterilization. My doctor said as soon as I turn 21(in June) things are a go as far as he's concerned.

His name is Steven Godfrey. He works at Clinics of North Texas in Wichita Falls, TX. His office is very mom centered since he delivers babies but hes a good guy. The NP there is nice too but shes pretty set in ( Read more... )

Hello friends,

I'd like to share with you the name of an excellent gyn in St. Claire Shores, MI

His name: Dr. Raphtis

Despite his conservative background (Practicing Catholic, yet pro-choice "because a politician doesn't belong in the way of a doctor and a patient"), he agreed to insert ESSURE in my fallopes. I am 23 yrs old, have been turned away ( Read more... )

Probably a long shot, but worth a try anyway seeing as I'm gonna be getting insurance soon.

Please leave the name/phone number, as well as the kind of experience you had w/a CF-friendly gyno/urologist in Alaska via the comments below. Please be sure to include the state/territory your doctor is in, as well. Thanks in advance!
