Change your uterus, change your life.

For quite a long time I've wanted to make sure I never have babies. Hormone-based birth control is a terrible idea. Who wants to trick their body into thinking it is pregnant for years at a time? Gross ( Read more... )

I have a friend that had that done a couple months ago. It went really well and all she had to do was take the pill for a couple months while the coils scar up your tubes. She only had cramping for a day or two!

Sweet. How old was she when she had it done?

bertine February 26 2009, 14:39:46 UTC

30, however she has had two children.

Why exactly don't you just use condoms rather than scarring up your bits? Non-reversible sounds like a really poor idea to me. I want to support you and all, but I'm having trouble with this.

I do use condoms, but I want be absolutely certain that my womb is barren forever, and that's why you have your own reproductive system to do with what you will. My muffin shop is closed.

Didn't Cloe Gate '08 make you want to adopt kids as opposed to destroying your body and having the life sucked out of it? And honestly, what is the big deal about babies and finding out what half your genes look like with half someone else's genes. If I was able to adopt a kid like her, it would definitely be better than anything I could squirt out. Just look at that bone structure.

You're gorgeous and smart and you would produce beautiful and awesome children some day should you choose to do so. If you in this moment want to be barren forever, be barren forever, I guess. Just don't be one of those child-free fuckers who talks constantly of their hatred of babies and parents. You also don't get to stop being friends with me if I have kids or I'll hunt you down in a frosting-and-death-threats kind of way.

The whole idea of being preggers is disgusting to me and it's not something I'd ever want to experience. Miracle of birth, my ass. Google "afterbirth ( ... )

That's actually on the pamphelet

I, as well, am thinking about the tube tying process. Mostly because it was so dangerous for me to be pregnant and I don't think I could handle an other kid, right now.

The only thing I wonder about the Essure is, can it cause issue on the blocked side? I mean, those eggs, what if they try to get out? Can they cause cysts or infections?

DEFINITELY the best option for permanent birth control, in my opinion, but the options are just so crap. It is amazing how much the female human body wants to be pregnant. NO!

shes_a_wee_lass March 2 2009, 13:27:54 UTC

Unfortunately Essure is only about 10 years old, so the long term effects aren't know. The risk of an ectoplasmic or whatever pregnancy that's outside the fallopian tubes is less than traditional tubal ligation and of all the options (5 and 10 year i.u.ds., tubal ligation) it was the most permanent. You really can't ever go back, whereas with tubal ligation you can sometimes have it reversed.

But you can always try in-vetro fertilization after essure/tubal ligation in case you need another baby-thingie.

melody_rossiter March 2 2009, 17:39:25 UTC

There is always that. Or adoption.

We decided to wait until Noah is 3 to see where my health is (like, if I can magically lose a significant amount of weight and get my diabetes under super good control). At that point, we'll either get pregnant again and then to the Essure thing, or decide not to have anymore and *then* do the Essure thing.

One thing is for sure, I *hate* my mirridia.

Boobs to the tubes, baby poetofthewyrd February 27 2009, 01:11:41 UTC

Reading this was like a deja wha?! I myself am thinking about become worm-free, aka, baby-free. (I call them "face-huggers," yes, from Alien.) Though I do believe I'd make a good parent in general, I'm tired of worrying about bc, etc (I was one of those lucky ladies to get pulmonary emboli from the NuvaRing - joy! $10,000+ later...) I firmly believe there already are WAY too many children in this world and spend enough time working for a non-profit where all you see are abused children and you think, why the HELL would I have one when there are so many out there that are already fucked up? Of course, that being said, MOST intelligent people should try and reproduce at least one spawn (ratio of stupid to intelligent would right itself correct??). But I digress ( ... )

Re: Boobs to the tubes, baby shes_a_wee_lass March 2 2009, 13:30:59 UTC

That's exactly where I'm coming from. I don't exactly work for non-profit per se, but I work for the police and I hear about all sorts of kids whose parents choose to be ballsacks and abandon them.

Yeah, the driving factor was not to have any hormones with my b.c. AND insurance covers it.

20$ per month for pills versus 20$ copay for sterilization

NO BRAINER.
