Dh and i have finished having Babies ( once this little dude is here) and the plan was for him to go and get a Vasectomy but my Ob just asked me if i would like my tubes tied at the same time as my C section. Has anyone had it done? Does anyone know what can go wrong and how likely that is to happen?? I have been told it should only take an extra 5-10 mins and there shouldnt be any extra pain but i would love to hear from some one who has had it done!
Thanks!
I know I'm not alone in saying DON'T DO IT!
I have had nothing but problems since having mine done in 2005.
I had mine done at the same time as my last c/s.
I am waiting on an appointment to see about getting them reversed.
My periods got so much heavier that I don't leave the house for the first two days, and for afew years had to change my pads 3x overnight. ATM my thyroid has taken over and my periods are insanely light, but I have been warned once I start taking my meds my periods will most likely return to what they were. My periods aren't the only issue I've had, but it is the one that affected me the most. Most Drs will say there aren't any side effects, but so many women can't be wrong.
PLEASE talk to as many Women who have it done before you decide fully.
Do a Google search on Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.
There is also a thread here on BB somewhere.

I was just about to post this very same question. Interested in others that have had it done too. I have a friend who had it done and she does not know any difference from before. Minus no birth control worries. Yaa. I would however like to hear a few opinions as it is not a little thing. Well, to me anyways. ; )
I had mine done when I had DD in 07. apart from getting mild PMS symptoms and every 2-3 months a very heavy period I am fine..
for the first year or so my body was out of whack but I was also BF. Since I stopped Bf and lost some weight everything settled down.
Before my tubal I never had period symptoms. They would just rock up one day :lol: now I ovulate very regularly. I get terrible back cramps (don't need panadol for them) it just feels like I have to go to the toilet to be honest but it is uncomfy.. that is just for the first day of AF though then it goes. My Af lasts for 3-7 days..
My Cs didn't really take any extra time. They actually did the tubal while I was getting to know my Daughter. Then when she went to the nursery with DH they were already stitching me up..
I was very hesitant to get it done as I have read about the Tubal Ligation Syndrome but I think it is also a personal decision. A lot of people tell me DH should have gone for the snip but I read somewhere they men who have vastecomies can start to lose their sex drive around 40.. AND I watched a youtube vid of what the do EEKK I was the one who said no freakin way :lol: Plus I was already open and ready so it simply made good sense if you get what i mean
good Luck with your decision. I do not regret my tubal at all..
My mum had it done with her last baby delivered by c/s in the same op. It was her 4th child at 38yrs old, so she wasn't up for anymore kids! It regards to extra pain and complications with the c/s she had none whatsoever, but as miss.cinders said she has suffered from worse periods and cramps since having them tied. My hubby's mum had a single op to have her tubes tied and has never had a c/s and she says her periods and time of ovulation are 'hell'!!! I also know 3 different women that have fallen pregnant after having tubes tied, not saying it is very common but it does happen. Studies show that a vasectomy has about a 1 in 2000 percetile of falling pregnant after the op, whereas there is about 1 in 200 percentile of falling pregnant after having the tubes tied, and effects of changes after the ops are much MUCH higher in women.
(I don't think it's all that much on the mens part after we go through all the hard work of cooking and delivering the babies either ;) )
Good Luck with your pregnancy xx
Just thought I would give an update. My doctor said that some people will blame what happens after their tubes tied to the op but really for some it is actually going off birth control.
Thought about it and it is true for me.. : ) Really thinking about it still but we shall see.
Oh I've never heard or thought about that before, I guess that could be a factor too, although in my mum's case she was never on any type of birth control...
I know me neither but he did say some people. I am still thinking.. Few months left... Mommy of 4 what did you decide?
my ob says he does not do them as the tubes can repair themselves and its a 1:200 chance you will fall pregnant again!
i decided not to do it lol i figured the risk wasnt worth it and DH can go get his tubes cut lol
lol yeah I agree mummyof4 my husband can go get his tubes cut! lol I've been thru enough :)
Still undecided on this. Really think that I might give it a miss at this point but nervous as anything at the prospect of having another after this one. Wish I could just pick out a card with the answer on it. : )
