Tubal ligation

Has anyone had their tubes tied? What was the experience like? I’m so over birth control and good with my 2 kiddos. Husband is “afraid” of a vasectomy so I’m ready to take the plunge and get myself permanently taken care of. (I know there can be cases of pregnancy after tubal ligation but sshhh.) how are your periods after? That’s my main thing, my current birth control causes 3+ week long periods and I can’t hang anymore. Thanks in advance! ✨

My friend had her tubes tied and said it wasn’t bad at all, your just gonna be sore for a couple of days and your period should be fine. I got my tubes tied during my c section 2 years ago and can tell you my periods have lasted 5 days.

At first my periods was extra heavy. Now it is back to normal. I was sore for 2 weeks after the procedure but it was quick. I had my tubes removed

he’s a baby 🤷🏻‍♀️ he said he’d be willing to next December when my birth control is done but I’m ready to take the leap now (ps in all other aspects he’s amazing but I really don’t wanna be on birth control anymore and don’t wanna wait over a year)

@Kay some women suggest a vasectomy as opposed to getting your tubes tied but I personally didn't want my own body to be able to make babies anymore so I went for the tubal. I'm happy I did, it wasn't bad at all.

I had a tubal. Mine was done via cauterization. I was put under for the procedure. I had a little pain but nothing too terrible. My periods are similar to before except my first day is extremely heavy (like go through a super tampon in 2 hours). Also, the first 6 months or so my ovulation gave me awful cramps. That stopped though and hasn't happened since.

I have those same random cramps 😭

I got a tubal ligation right after I gave birth to my third daughter the next day I went into surgery for it.
Almost 7 years later I still have not gotten pregnant. Periods are a little everywhere but i had a weird cycle.
