**MODS please move if i haven't put this in the right section**
Was wondering if anyone knows about having tubes tied.
DP and I want one more bub and i'm considering having it done after it's born.
I know some people will think i'm strange for wanting this done so young. I suffer from PCOS and regularly suffer with ovarian cysts. The pain from these is horrible and if i don't have to suffer it from the rest of my life i'd prefer not to. Does this type of surgery help?? I haven't discussed this with my doctor yet... just thought i'd get some opinions from here. Not TTC until the end of the year... just thinking about my options.
Hi Jen i dont know how old you are but i know they wont do the t/l at some ages. Its a very very big thing to do and its a very personal decision. Theres a thread called tubal reversal and another one called tubal ligation syndrome(can't spell) all comes under the medical coditions list check them out and talk to the girls in there. I post in the Tubal Reversal thread and most of us in there have had the op done and then had it reversed or are waiting for the reversal. Good luck with what ever you decide to do xxx
I think you have to be over 30 for a steralisation procedure unless under medical advice.. for example.. a friend of mine didn't want anymore kids after her Dd was born so her Dh got the snip.. She has reactions to the pill and didn't want to use condoms.. Anyways Dr counselled them then approved the Vastectomy.. but my neighbour is only 28 nd simply doesn't want anymore and had hers done last year
I would ask the Dr if a TL would actually help.. I still ovulate, get my period ect.. (ps I got my tubes tieed 15 months ago)
A gf of mine had it done a few month ago.
It is a keyhole surgery (although they can do it through a planned c-section at the same time as delivering your baby i think)
Anyway, they went in just under her bellybutton and you can hardly tell.
I have no idea about it in reference to PCOS though.
Tubal ligation doesn't have an impact on ovulation or menstruation. It simply prevents the passage of an egg into the fallopian tubes thus preventing fertilisation and implantation. Unfortunately it is unlikely to help with your ovarian cysts. Most OB's won't do this procedure during a c-section due to an increased failure rate.
The OCP can help with the ovarian cysts through inhibiting ovulation if that is a possibility for you - although maybe not a long term option. Good luck.

Then why do so may woman (me included) who I know have had the procedure done suffer at time off Oing and have painfull AF's? I never had pain before having my tubes clamped. I had my tubes clamped in 2003 and had so much pain six months later that I booked in for a reversaI andhave had 2 children since and have my tubes now removed....12 months later, the pains are starting reappear again

ah but that is so true. Ob's actually prefer to do you 12 months AFTER the birth of your last child as you have been pg everything is swollen and there is a high chanch that your clamps can 'fall off' as your tubes slim back down to normal...as to with stitching ect. They also prefer the time difference for the 'just incase something happens to your baby' factor eg birth defect's, cot death
The age also varies - 25 for some doctors = 30 for others. Depending I think on your medical history and what your doctor might suggest
Getting your tubes tied, clamped taken out is not 100%...dont be fooled. Depending on which ob you talk to ther eis a 1 in 600 chanch to a 1 in 200 chanch of falling pg and then an extremely high chanch of having an etopic pg. I fell pg 3 times whilst my tubes were clamp
It is know that men having a V have a high sucess rate...maybe something for you to consider if you are defently 100% sure that this is the road you and your partner want to take.
Sorry Maz - I don't know why you (and many others) have an increased pain. It may be due to adhesions or the application of something foreign I actually meant it wouldn't have a positive change to them - the pain won't get better with the tubal ligation.
Tubes tied?????
