Increased ovulation pain, and still had a baby

I got mine removed during an unplanned c section. I wish i wouldn’t have. I’m not having any issues, just feel that i made the wrong decision

Cons…My friends brother is the perfect reason i got mine removed instead of tied.

I had mine done right after having a baby and would not recommend to anyone! The pain and problems after are not worth the reward. It is so much easier for a man to have a vasectomy!

Cons. . . Excessive heavy heavy heavy bleeding. Increased ovulation pain.

Pros. No more babies

I haven’t had any of these problems. Got mine done a few hours after delivering my son at 21. I think recovery would’ve been even easier if I had got them done without having to carry a newborn all the time. Was still super fast recovery though.I have pcos and it hasn’t helped at all with it but other then that I don’t notice anything different with my periods or anything else.

My mom had terrible post tubal syndrome. Two week long periods with 8 days of cramps that felt like back labor. She was thankful for menopause.

Had mine done 3 years after my second child. Just minimal pain and pressure for about a day and half. I was 28. I did however get pregnant almost 7 years later.

I had mine done I separated from my ex husband my girls were little… I kinda wished I didn’t but my kids are grown now and I am enjoying things I want to do

I got mine cut, tied, and burned in 4 places. I wouldn’t trade it for the world- I was 37 though. My periods have been more irregular then before and I have worse cramps(only the first day). It’s an easy process, the recovery is what I didn’t like. It was like after having a baby.

Well I had mine done 1 year after having my youngest. I had to fight to get it done. I was 25. 2 kids. I HATED, LOATHED, being pregnant. So I knew I wanted it. Zero regrets. The pro to it being me not being pregnant. I’m also on the depo shot, to regulate my hormones as well as it stopped my bleeding. I honestly don’t see a con to having my tubes tied. I honestly wish they would have taken the whole thing out.

Regret it , period symptoms are worse , irregular, mood swings, cramping has me balled up in bed etc …

Pro: you can’t get pregnant
Con: you can’t get pregnant

Coming from someone who had their tubes tied on my 24th Birthday

I got mine done when I was 34. Was a good decision but by then I had all the kids I wanted. Was also a bit sad because after awhile I thought 1 more try for a boy but nope. And now I got all the little boys I can handle with my grandsons love them all

Pros I’m not pregnant.
Cons period is now 3 to 4 days late/early I have cramping a little before period.

Oct 23rd made 4 years of being fixed

I got mine done about 8 years ago (I’m 40)and I don’t think there’s are any cons. I think my cramps are a little worse and the flow is a little heavier but that means Aunt Flow visits for less days than it use to so no complaints outta me. I have an 18 year old and a 15 year old and zero pregnancy scares since having it done. 10/10 would definitely recommend :ok_hand:

Pros no more kids, yay. Con seems to mess with your periods so now are heavier or more time to stop. Pro: not putting hormones in your body that can have side effects for life including bone loss density. Con: realizing your husband is a selfish prick that won’t do a simple out patient procedure to ensure your health and saftey. Pro:doesn’t effect milk production. Con: more time recovering and menstrual cramps are a bit worse. Con: again realizing your husband could easily be healed in less than a day and it doesn’t effect his testosterone at all but yet he won’t do it because he’s a d bag and doesn’t care about health effects for you…

Period the flow is heavier.

I had mine out along with an ablation and I haven’t had a period in a year. Not sure if that’s normal but I think that’s a huge pro :sweat_smile:

I had mine done 12 years ago and well, I have to have another surgery because the clamps came undone and now.my tibes aren’t tide anymore … never thought it would to me

I will say that once I got mine done after I had my daughter (second kid after 11 years) and it hit me a little different than I thought. I definitely do not want anymore kids but for the first 6 months or so I was kinda sad I couldn’t have any more kids. Not that I wanted more lol. I got over it and love that I can’t get pregnant!

I got mine done 4 years ago, no issues

I just got my tubes removed completely and best decision I’ve ever made. Recovery for the 1st 2days was abit rough, but by day 3 I was walking around like nothing happened. Menstrual cramping was abit more intense than be4, but still manageable. Biggest pro, all the sex I want and no more babies. I’ve brought 4 beautiful kids into the world and I couldn’t be more proud

Safer for him to do it
Longer recovery for you

After I had my daughter they went through my belly button and did mine. I didn’t suffer from extra extended pain after birth or have any problems breastfeeding. Pros no worries cons none

Con tampons stop period can only wear pads and I regret it this will truly mess with your hormones so do your research don’t do it unless you must

I got mine done while breast feeding, no issues. I do feel like periods are heavier but other than that it went great. Recovery is smooth

None. Get em removed instead. No side effects and helps prevent ovarian cancer

I got mine done like 4/5 years ago. periods last 2 to 3 days… very light…cramps a little stronger but not bad. I was up and about the next day after surgery.

Had mine done during my c-section. Best decision ever. Didn’t effect anything.
