going sterile

[distilledvanity.livejournal.com]

I am a 25 year old female wanting to get sterilized for my 26th birthday. I am afraid of side effects. I know for a fact I never want a child so regret about not being able to have kids is not something I worry about, it's more negative hormonal side effects or complications that worry me. So if you have personal experiences with it please let me know what you have experienced...either good or bad or in between.

why don't you just get your tubes tied - if you can find a doctor who will do it to a 26-year-old? you'll still get your period but won't be able to get pregnant. my mom got hers done in her late 30s/early 40s and she had periods until she went through menopause. you won't have hormonal problems if you allow yourself a monthly cycle.
