    i dont have my tubes tied but i do have the mirena and i quiet like it, my plan was to have it for the 4 years then DH would get the snip but tbh i think i;ll get it again and save DH getting the snip for now, no AF etc... maybe try the temp measure like the OB suggests, save making a mistake

    there's good reason why the doc said under 30 hun.

    I was 27 an when W was 1 I got my tubes clamped...reason was because I knew my child was 'different' and I had to give him my everything...anther child, I was led to believe would interfer in that..I woke from surgery and knew i had made the wrong decission. That was in 2003...it took me almost 3 years to get a reversal, which I might add was extremely painfull.
    When we had V we were asked as I was having a c/s if I wasnt my tubes 'done' and both J and I screamed NO at the same time (this was whilst being wheeled to theater mind you.
    After having a horendous pg with M and him almost dying that we would have my tubes removed if anything, which we did. Reason being...I fell pg 3 times whilst my tubes were clamped..so beware..nothing is 100%

    Good luck

    I'm 24 and I had my tubes clamped a month ago. The OB/GYN looked at my pregnancy, birth and mental history before making his decision. He still tried to talk me out of it and to get the mirena though. Both my partner and I are very happy with the children we do have and neither want any more. Both our boys have extra needs which require more of our time. Not that that's a reason, but it just added to the main 3 things the OB/GYN looked at.

    I had to be medicated to get through Tristan's pregnancy and I still suffer daily from the trauma of having Brendan. I cannot go through another pregnancy or birth and to us our only option left is adoption (or surrogacy) but for now we are focussing our attention on our gorgeous boys.

    My advice is to think about it long and hard, it is a surgery after-all.
