If I didn't just turn 35, and I hadn't had all of my losses, I would consider it, but I'm emotionally exhausted and done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2295154 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 15:28:02 +0000 ChelseaRose 2295154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I was asked if I wanted a tubal when scheduling, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to not having more kids at age 32 with two boys. I think my husband will have to get a<br /> Vasectomy in the future if we are truly done. It's the least he can do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2295027 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 13:53:40 +0000 ChelseaRose 2295027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: so happy to hear that your RCS went well! Hope you're enjoying your new little one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2294933 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:55:28 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2294933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: So good to know that you're feeling well! Hope that continues for you!</p> <p>Thank you to everyone for your comments and well wishes for Monday. Getting excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293995 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:19:10 +0000 sarac 2293995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hoped for a natural birth, but I had my midwife note that if I ended up with a csection, I wanted a tubal too. If they're already in there, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293941 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 16:07:09 +0000 babynumber1 2293941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I just had a tubal with my RCS. I am 10 days PP and feeling great. No noticeable change from my 1st c section. My recovery has been easier, but I contribute that to not having 28 hours of labor first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293886 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:09:01 +0000 MamaG 2293886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: My OB claims it's "phantom" and really the result of being older and the eggs being released being older/lower quality. Either way, I don't like it.</p> <p>You might ask your OB how they do the procedure. Mine actually cut a chunk out of my tubes (two inches I think), burned and tied the ends. I think my risk of failure is pretty minimal ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293875 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:47:05 +0000 lilteacherbee 2293875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my plan when I have #3. I'll have a RCS and figure it makes the most sense. My mom had one when she had a RCS for my sister and said it didn't impact recovery at all.</p> <p>Good luck Monday!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293863 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:35:09 +0000 BandDmommy 2293863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: I've heard about that! Wow, just wow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293857 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:32:19 +0000 winniebee 2293857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but wishing you the best for Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293856 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:29:44 +0000 MamaBehr 2293856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I'm going to get my tubes tied after my RCS in December, so you'll have to tell me about your experience. I have heard it doesn't really add much to the recovery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293855 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:29:39 +0000 Mamasig 2293855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on having my tubes tied with my repeat c section for #3 next year. They are already in there - might as well get it done because I know we are done with 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293848 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:22:24 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2293848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love, love, love hearing that it adds 2 minutes to the procedure and that everyone has had no real change in recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293844 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:18:59 +0000 coopsmama 2293844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally do that if I were to have a C-section and were done having children. I've really only heard good things about it in terms of recovery when a C-section is already planned/necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293825 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:10:30 +0000 Smurfette 2293825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend did. She said that she would highly recommend it to everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293809 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:02:28 +0000 LulaBee 2293809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my last pregnancy, and I will most likely have to have a RCS. I am seriously considering tubal ligation, my doc said that it only adds 2 minutes to surgery time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293777 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:30:21 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2293777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Really good to know. My OB said that some people have reported more painful periods afterwards, but I've always had painful periods. Nothing a little Advil can't help. But I agree - I wish I could stop getting periods as well. </p> <p>@ldh112: Ah gosh...this is a bit of a fear of mine. Ultimately, a surprise pregnancy after this would be fine with us, but I just don't want to go through the rollercoaster of emotion of another miscarriage. Been there, done that 4 times, and it sucked and got exponentially worse each time. But...I believe that the chance of getting pregnant after a tubal is 1%. </p> <p>I guess I figured that since I was in the OR for this, I'd kill two birds with one stone so that DH didn't have to go through surgery as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293766 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:22:15 +0000 ldh112 2293766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends just had her 4th baby due to a failed vasectomy 😁 - even after 3 sterility tests! I know it is super rare... I'd be curious to compare failure rates for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293760 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:16:50 +0000 ms.line 2293760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had a tubal with her RCS and didn't have any additional issues beyond regular CS healing. I will probably have one if have #2 and if I have a CS - otherwise DH will be getting snipped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293751 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:08:14 +0000 MamaG 2293751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a tubal ligation in November with my RCS. I was 40 when our second was born and we knew given our age and finances we are done. It added a little bit of time in the OR for the procedure but nothing to the recovery. </p> <p>I just wish I could stop getting periods. They are worse now than ever, but my OB says it's not related to the tubal but due to my age (aging is a bummer in some regards).</p> <p>Good luck on Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293750 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:07:46 +0000 Amelieisme 2293750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely do the tubal ligation with a RCS. Your recovery won't be impacted at all! I didn't have one because I wasn't ready to make things permanent, but IF we have a 3rd child, I'll do it! Otherwise, DH may be headed for a vasectomy down the road... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293744 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:04:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 2293744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven’t personally gone through it, but my coworker had a tubal with her 2nd c-section and she said her recovery wasn’t impacted at all by the tubal. </p> <p>If we ever have another and I had a C-section again, I would definitely strongly consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubal-ligation-or-vasectomy#post-2293741 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:00:55 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2293741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've chronicled my story on HB a few different times, but on Monday, I'm having a RCS to give birth to LO#2. The last 5 years have brought 6 pregnancies, 4 miscarriages, 3 uterine surgeries, and 2 C-sections with Monday's surgery. Both DH and I are happy with our 2 boys, and we don't want to go through anything else. Because it's a RCS, I'm having a tubal ligation done at the same time. I'm 35, it took a lot for us to have just these 2, and I'm not willing to go through another miscarriage.</p> <p>Anyone else have a tubal ligation or have had their DH go through a vasectomy? How was the recovery time if you had your tubal during your C-section? Anyone else considering? </p>
