Anyone get a tubal ligation and regret it? I have always said I wanted 2 kids, a girl & a boy. I have my 2 kids and now I’m down to scheduling surgery, but now for some reason I’m second guessing myself.
Got mine done after my two and regret it every single day !
I regret it Tremendously!!
I don’t regret mine. I also had 8 pregnancies with only 4 living children and in my late 30’s. Since you are second guessing yourself, you should not do it. Your inner self is telling you not to do it- listen to her
Dont do it. I had it 4 years ago and regret it
My mom had it many years ago and immediately regretted it
Until you are certain and fully decided, go on a reversible contraception method
I would say if your double guessing yourself, take time to evaluate. Talk to your spouse/partner. See how you feel and how they feel. Make the choice that’s best for you. You don’t need to go through with it. You can change your mind. And after you reevaluate, you can decide to still go through with it, if that’s what you choose.
My advice is DO NOT DO IT!!!
If you have doubts don’t do it. You’ll live with it for the rest of your life.
Please do your research on it first and talk with your partner
If there’s any doubt or second guessing yourself, do NOT do it!
I have mine scheduled for 5 weeks from now when i deliver… but im not going to do it. Definitely look into all of the risks first…
I’ve always heard that once your done having babies you’ll “just know” if your second guessing it, I wouldn’t
I regretted it at first after I saw my last baby, and immediately wanted another. It’s been a few months and I’m thankful now. I couldn’t mentally handle another child. I have 3 and that is enough. My husbands logic on the matter is “I have 3 back seats and 3 kids I’m not getting rid of my truck and we are not the Brady bunch.”
Anyways, think it over, it’s a hard choice to make. You won’t really know the entire answer. Think of your mental and if you could potentially handle another, financial, room, etc.
I personally hate birth control but was extremely fertile, don’t be shy and talk to your doctor and explain your thoughts and feelings. you got this mama. Do what’s right for you. No one else.
If you’re second guessing yourself, don’t do it yet.
Consider salpingectomy. It is supposed to lower your ovarian cancer risk.
I got mine done and regret it a little. Mostly because of painful and very heavy periods.
I don’t regret it but If you’re not sure then don’t do it.
I thought I did but thank god I did it because I do not want another child. I think my hormones had my emotions running high at first. But I couldn’t mentally handle another child. I’m so grateful I did it.
I smiled the entire time I was waiting to be taken back for my tubal. If you aren’t that level of content with it, don’t do it.
Mine were removed fully when I was 24 , after the 3rd child. I wish I hadn’t of done it because now I’m almost 30 and I want another baby so badly
If you are second guessing your decision DO NOT do it.
nope… ik I was done… glad I did it
My husband got a vasectomy 4 weeks after our youngest was born. The week before i wanted him to cancel every other day. Day came of surgery and we went threw with it. Never questioned it again.
I have 5. Had my tubes tied at #5s c-section. I have had major regrets early on. Now not so much as we’ve gained an extra 2 kids. But, it hurts that the choice is no longer there.
That’s my only regret in life! I had my tubes tied on my 24th Birthday after having two boys. A few years later, I wanted more kids. I unsuccessfully did IVF 3 different times
I had my sun on a sat.tubal on Sunday discharged to go home on sunday.mondsy morning had the baby shower at work no problems.and had him all natural.they went through my belly button.
No regrets at all, I have 3 girls.
I don’t regret mine. I have 3 kids. The only downside is the super heavy menstrual cycle now.
No. I also had no choice. 5 c sections in 6 years. I died with #5 for a total of 5 mins and 4 seconds. They said if I even got pregnant again that my baby and I would both die from it. I was also 34 with my 5th…
I had it done almost a year ago and absolutely regret it. I was dead set all during my pregnancy I didn’t want more children and then after I had my 3rd son knew I made a mistake. Also, the cramps and heavy periods that come with it are absolutely terrible. I never had cramps like this prior to it. It’s horrible! I wouldn’t do it if you are questioning it.
I got my tubes removed. I went in fully aware that I wanted more children but the man I was hooked on did not want more children nor did he want me. I am blessed some years later to have found love again with a man who wants to extend our family and who’s insurance covers ivf
I think it’s normal to second guess yourself bc it’s so permanent, I felt like I was grieving knowing that I’d never carry another child or hold my own baby in my arms again after delivery or any of those moments again. But I knew I was done and I knew I could not mentally handle another and I don’t regret doing it. Seeing my daughter I knew she was gonna be my last everything and sometimes it’s still hard watching her grow and thinking about it.
I always said I wanted 4 I got my 4 then had my tubes tied and now I wish I didn’t everyone is different but with you only having 2 I’d say not to do it.
If you aren’t sure I would wait and use birth control of some sort. I was set on my tubes getting tied and I did right after my daughter was born. Even though I was 100% sure I was kinda sad I couldn’t make another baby. I don’t want another baby but knowing I can hits a little different. I think that with any hesitation that feeling might be worse. I have 2 kids almost 12 years apart with a miscarriage in the middle. I would wait.
I was asked after my second if I wanted my tubes removed during my c-section. I hesitated so my husband said if your hesitating then don’t do it. So I didn’t. And then 4 months later got pregnant again and had 2 boys 13 months apart and during my last pregnancy I knew I was done. I never wanted to do it again after the third. So I had them done during my last c-section and I don’t regret it. It’s a weird feeling knowing it can’t happen again but also I’m relieved because I know I’m done. I always tell everyone it’s a feeling you get knowing you’re done. And you shouldn’t do it unless you have that feeling of completeness
If you are second guessing yourself I would wait a little bit until you are 100 percent sure! I also have a boy and a girl and after I found out my 2nd was a boy I was 100 percent sure I was done and got a tubal litigation.
If your health is good and no complications with having children. I’d wait till you were sure.
2 is better than 3
It’s a trap, get a puppy
I did it I knew I didn’t want anymore kids , but let me tell ya your body changes periods brutal . Sex drive non existence .
I only wanted two kids, I would have liked one of each but I got blessed with two beautiful children. Even though I did not want any more getting my tubes tied was something that I just couldn’t do. So birth control it has been.i did have surgery a year and half go so I am missing a left tube and ovary , but I still could get pregnant . Even my surgeon asked me if I wanted my right side tied since I would be open and I just couldn’t do it.
Get them removed. Not tied. Removal helps prevent ovarian cancer
After having my third child almost in the truck on the way to the hospital and barely making it there, on top of my body pain and issues I got my tubes done hours after having him. A little sore but wasn’t bad. Although I went from having almost non-existent periods to f****** Niagara falls, but I am also the 1% of women who ended up getting pregnant afterwards. My body didn’t know I was miscarrying though. So I had to wait to go through surgery for that. Otherwise my body would have continued to carry a dead fetus. After I healed from that I got my tubes completely removed. Periods are still heavy, back pain sucks but that’s honestly normal for me. Maybe related? Or maybe unrelated. But I have a slight prolapse going on in my uterus now which is causing intestinal issues. But I do NOT REGRET GETTING IT ALL DONE. My body would probably have killed myself if I tried to get pregnant again it was just that hard for me
From experience if you are second guessing it, don’t do it. I had my tubes removed after my daughter, not because I knew I was done having kids but because I knew I was done having kids with my children’s father and he refused to get a vasectomy.
Now I’m with my current husband and we’re having to do IVF
I regret it not because of wanting more kids. I went from having light periods to horrible ones. It seems impossible to lose weight and other health issues that I believe are related to the tubal.
If you aren’t 100% sure or think you maybe, even 2% chance you’ll regret it, do not do it. I always said I wouldn’t have kids after 30 years old so once I was 30 I wanted them tied. I had an appointment scheduled for the consultation, took a pregnancy test the Saturday before my appointment, knowing i would have to take one at the app anyways, and I was already pregnant. I didn’t want any more kids, but my daughter had other ideas. We have a catholic hospital here so they couldn’t do it when I delivered. I went a town over, 6 weeks after delivery, and got them cut, tied, burnt. I do not regret it at all. But I knew I was done. I had her 5 months before I turned 30 lol
