getting sterilised...?
not sure where to post this!
I have my beautiful twins who I desparately wanted, and now love and adore more than I ever could believe was possible.
I went through a rough time with the pregnancy, birth then neonatal, as I'm sure many of us on here did.
Anyway, that's it for me. No more babies thank you. I took clomid to get them, couldn't risk more multiples - I wouldn't be messing with my/my husband's lives this time, I've got my twins to think about too. I know non of us can afford our kids but we manage, but I want to spoil them for the rest of their lives and give them things my lovely parents couldn't afford to give me and my sister, although they did a damned good job. I can't afford any more - but even if I won the lottery I don't know that I'd want to risk having more children. I know of too many bad stories, esp involving multiples. I am very happy and grateful for what I've got, and don't dare to take any chances.
So, I'm 29. My doctor told me to wait til I'm 30 at least til I decide for certain that I want to be sterilised. I don't like condoms, I disagree with the coil, I don't want the pill messing up my body as it has done on and off since I was 15. I'm very happy for it to be me not my husband to get it done. I'd like to do the 'natural' thing, as I couldn't get pregnant when bonking like mad so sure my once a month (ha ha) ain't gonna get me pregnant - but it might!
Have any of you been sterilised since your babies, and what did you consider that I'm not thinking about? (yes I've considered what the GP said - what if one/both twins die or you and OH separate).
Thank you x

Hubby is also going to go for a vasectomy, but I want to take the responsibility for my own fertility, and feel that the doctors have no right to tell me I have to wait until a certain age. Its my choice!!!
Maybe you should go back to the doctor and see if you can get a referral to see what the surgeon thinks?
