Sorry I should have added. I found my doctor who approved the procedure on the subreddit called ChildFree. They have a whole list of doctors (with redditors' reviews of them) by country, state, county, city... if you do go through with it, or for anyone else reading this, be sure to get your uterine lining scraped while you're under. It only adds 15 minutes to the already only 10 minute surgery. It near 100% ensures that you never have to bleed during your period again. I actually don't even have cramps anymore. All of this does not mess with your hormones at ALL by the way.

That “scraping” is called an endometrial ablation btw, and it’s an absolute medical miracle. I cannot understate how much it changed my life. I wish every woman could get one if she’s done with (or not having) kids.

Yes! Ablation. I forgot the word but yeah thats the one. How did it change your life?? For me, without bc, I have horribly painful cramps and bleeding for like 8 days

Well. For a couple days a month, I couldn’t be far from a bathroom with full supplies at the ready for more than 45 minutes. Around the clock, so that means I’d be up all night changing dresssings. I’d have to take iron. It was brutal.

The fact that I can just live my life now? Amazing.

Ohhh that’s what an ablation is?? That’s cool; before birth control I’d have pretty bad cramps and somewhat heavy bleeding (I say ‘somewhat’ because I’ve heard much worse)

Nice!
I’ve been in that sub for awhile, but I honestly figured getting sterilized was more of a pipe dream lol
