I don't understand it. Didn't you know it was permanent birth control when you got the procedure done?

It really bothers me because I'm 22 years old and want to get permanent birth control. I used to want to get a hysterectomy when I was a teenager and before I realised all the risks but, doctors think because I'm young it's not the way to go so, my fiance is getting a vesectomy. It's easier for males to get permanent birth control both physically and politically. He's 24 but, apparently, 24 is not too young for a MALE to decide he doesn't want or like children.

Don't you realise that making poor decisions like getting a tubal when you don't really want one effects the female population that truly hates the idea of having children? Gah.

It doesn't bother me that people want to get there tubes reversed, some change there minds. It does however bother me that at my age of 21 I cannot get my tubes tied. I am pregnant with my first child and that's all I want. My husband had a biological son 10 years old and two stepdaughters13 and 6 who have no real fathers in there lives he's been there from the beginning. So we consider the girls his also we have visitation with them the same as his son, so this will be his 4th child and my first but I help with the other ones. My doc said In my state you have to be 21 with 2 children. I think its wrong. You can get married and become a stripper at 18 if you want but you cant get ur tubes tied. My husband is also having a vasectomy. Why is it easier for the man?

After my second child I wanted a tubal. My doctor said no because I was only 20, and I might meet someone some day and decide to have another child. At the time I thought she was smokin crack. I was 20, unmarried with 2 kids, who in the right mind would ever want to get involved with such a ready made family? Well here it is 8 years later and I'm engaged and 25wks pregnant with my 3rd son. So I'm glad that I didn't insist upon the tubal. I'm getting one however after this one is born. I can't see myself with 4 kids. I'd go bald and then insane. LOL If I decide I want more kids later, I'll adopt! Then at least I KNOW I'll get a girl. ;D

Because a LOT of people don't think about how their decisions are going to effect them years down the road... that what they want now might not be what they want in 10 years...

Because they were too young to give it enough thought in the first place.
