OK I'm going on 19 pretty quick here and I want to get my tubes tied I don't trust the pill or condoms.. but I want to know what could be the down fall to this? I can easily have the ties removed when I'm older and decide to have a baby right... but mostly because I don't think I'm mentally stable enough to handle another pregnancy will a doctor tie my tubes at his age? What do you think?

I do not know where you live but in most states they will not tie your tubes until you are 21 and have kids or have a health issue where you have to have them removed. FYI I had mine tied and it sucked! I was in a lot of pain and it makes your cycle painful!

I would strongly suggest an IUD. I have one and well I'm baby free. I don't have heavy periods nor do I have cramps- and IUD was the perfect choice for me. I chose this because I know I would not be punctual with my pill and I detest condoms- however always use one if you are not in a monogamous relationship!

Here is are a few links to better inform you:

GENERAL INFO: IUD - Intra-Uterine Device or IUS Intra-Uterine System

Good luck,

A tubal ligation isn't always reversible and most doctors will not perform one on a 19 year old that has no children.

There are other forms of birth control, a tubal is usually for someone who doesn't want children ever.

I was scared too, really- I hated the thought.

However, now I don't have to worry about pills, condoms, pulling out before he goes.

It is just a tad bit painful when inserting it- like a pinch.

It's up to you- but I really recommend it;)

Yeah but the surgery isn't done through my vagina!

windyone · Apr 2, 2009, 08:09 PM

I can guarantee that surgery will be way more painful than a simple IUD. ;)

Caroljj90 · Apr 2, 2009, 08:12 PM

That maybe true but I can deal with that pain!
