We FINALLY scheduled my surgery date for a tubal ligation as well as an endometrial ablation d/t heavy cycles. I'll have both procedures outpatient the same day on 12/15. I wanted to make sure I had it done prior to the end of the year for insurance reasons! ;D I'm looking forward to having this done and over with. 1: because my OB said that my cycles will at least be much lighter most likely spotting if any cycle at all! 2: no worries about getting pregnant anymore. However, I can't help to be a little sad. Is that normal?!?  I know that our family is complete. Neither, Dh or I want anymore children so we both know this is the best decision. Every month we are terrified that something will happen and we will get pregnant. Birth control is NOT an option. Non of it....so this is what we've decided and yes, I'm fine with it. We've talked about it for years. Still can't help to be a little sad. |

DH and I knew John would be our last child. It is too risky for me to have any more. So, when I had the C-section, I had the tubal. And, I was sad. I am still sad from time to time.
So, I would say your feelings are normal. Either that or we are both abnormal.

I think it's normal:) I had a partial hyst. when A was about 8 months and I know that we were done, I almost didn't survive and I couldn't take more losses. But, i see the babies, here and on FB or IRL and it does make me a little sad...it comes and goes, but logically i know there has to be an end somewhere where it's feeling complete. This is our little family and that is yours..you will be ok..good luck!!!

i agree is a part of your life you really enjoyed and its sad when its gone. I had the tubal when i had to have the c section, but i'm 43 so perhaps it was an easier decision. i have 4 boys and lost the girl, but time to move on to the next part of life !!

I too had a tubal ligation about 7 months ago - a month after my baby was born. I was very sad...saying goodbye to your fertility is so final. I still wonder at times if I made the right choice but my last pregnancy was a rough one and DH did not want any more kids. So...as Brenda said...either it's normal to feel sad or we're all abnormal  |
