Im 19 years old and pregnant with my second child. She will be here God willing by July 27. I had my baby boy may of 2010 & my children will be 14 months apart. After I had my son I had an paraguard iud put in as a form of birth control since it's the equivalent of tying your tubes and it was supposed to last 10 years. But it didn't I still got pregnant while on it. I don't want anymore unplanned pregnancies. At what age could I tie my tubes in Texas? Or what are other forms of birth control that are just as reliable?

It's unlikely that you will get your tubes tied at this age, unless there is a compelling medical reason. It's too likely that sometime in the next 20 years, you will regret your decision and want another baby.

There are various other forms of long term contraception. Talk to your ob-gyn or family planning clinic to find the best one for you.
