Has anyone had Tubal Ligation and been happy with it?

[Matryoshka]

I've been reading the Tubal reversals thread, and about the complications and issues many women have after the procedure. There's not much positive to read about it.

I really don't want any more children, I'm happy with what i have, I feel totally complete. And i'm not really keen on being on hormonal birth control for the rest of my fertile life. I was thinking about this procedure, but I've not heard anything positive about it.

Just wondering if its actually been good for anyone?

anyone?

We have considered it, after this one, cos I'm pretty darn positive this one will be the last. And I even offered to get it done to DH cos if I end up having another section, well, they're in there anyway, may as well "fix" me up!!

DH decided that since I go through all the pain of having the kids - he'll get done. Its an easier recovery for him, and since I'm the one at home with the kids - and he's at work - its easier for him to get it done.

were you worried about the tubal ligation syndrome?

[Arimeh]

I think I was worried about it all to be honest - the procedure, side effects - everything. But I didn't want to take the pill till I went through menopause either!!! LOL

Luckily DH volunteered. Plus its easier to reverse his "fix" than mine - just in case

Mel and Tan, DH and I have recently had this conversation too, and my DH has said that after all these years it is finally his turn, so after this baby, and when we are ready he will be off for the "snip". I too was willing, but concerned for me, and vowed never to take chemical hormones again... So this is our option too.

And we need something as reliable as possible as I will be on some serious medication which you cannot get pregnant on... Which is why we are discussing surgery.
