Are there women here who have had their tubes "tied" -- especially women under 30?

If so, did you have difficulty finding a doctor who would perform the operation for you? My sister just had it done last month, and I went with her. She's in her late 30s and didn't run into any obstacles, but I remember when she was in her mid 20s she couldn't find a doctor to agree to do the proceedure.

I just feel it's time. My boyfriend and I have talked about him having a vasectomy. He wants to do it, and it makes more sense since the proceedure is less invasive for men ... but I also know that he's terrified of andy kind of surgery, and I don't feel like waiting any longer.

Any imput on what I should expect or suggestions would be appreciated. [I also plan on posting this at

childfree so I apologize in advance for those who may get this multiple times].

I haven't had one (obviously... I still don't feel positive that anything I believe right now will still be my belief in five year's time), but I've heard of tubals not actually working. My aunt had her tubes tied and then got pregnant. I'm sure this isn't that common or even relevent, but I thought I'd throw it out there :)

Thank you :) It's definately something for me to keep in mind.

Yep there is a .5% failure rate with tubals and snipsnips on the boys. It can happen.

There was a court case about this in Britain a few years ago, although I can't find any details. The man had a vascetomy and then his wife got pregnant. They sued the hospital. however, the final verdict (after several appeals) went against them, as the judge said that a child was always a good thing.
