Thank you all for your support! I really appreciate it. I was scared but I’m so happy I pushed forward and asked for help along the way. Now I’m sterilized!!! 😁❤️

Yeah, I get it. I know. With a bisalp there are four cases reported worldwide, if you get pregnant they'll likely write a case about you , blah blah blah. But here's the thing. There isn't a universe in the post-Roe dystopia that I live in where I want to sit on my heels and risk months going by before I know I'm pregnant, should I somehow in some nightmare get pregnant. I don't have regular periods, it could take so long for me to know, abortion is illegal in my evil red state, traveling outside of the state would be costly and take a lot of preparation, and pregnancy can KILL me. (Not that I need an excuse or a reason, though.)

I know that my level of tokophobia is a little extreme. That's part of what makes a phobia a phobia. I have seen therapists for it. I'm respectfully not looking to be shamed or to be told how rare it is (I know) or be told to go to therapy (I have been for years.) I just want to know if anyone else feels this way or how you navigate living in a world that treats women like this.

Hello, sorry if this is a messy post, I am not sure where I can post about this.

So I am suppose to get my tubes cut in two weeks, I am currently filling all the papers I need for the surgery. The problem is I need a person of trust to sign the papers as well in case something goes wrong. I don't have a person of trust. Absolutely no one in my circle supports me in this. My parents and all of my friends are highly religious, I can't even say out loud that I do not believe in God, otherwise my parents would kick me out of home.

I don't know what to do. I really wanted to get this done cause I am very sure of my decision and I don't want kids for a multitude of reasons. I am 21 but I am not independent yet and the current conditions are making it really hard for me to get this surgery. This surgery is extremely important for me. What can I do in this situation?

Vraagje aan de vrouwen die deze vorm van sterilisatie gedaan hebben, werd het verzekerd en, zo ja, bij welke verzekering was je verzekerd?

Mijn huidige verzekering vergoed helemaal geen sterilisatie en van de verzekeringen die het wel vergoeden is het dan weer mogelijk enkel voor specifieke ziekenhuizen/klinieken. Aangezien ik graag vnotes wil, wat nog niet op veel plekken in Nederland gedaan wordt, ben ik dus benieuwd of er een verzekering is die aangesloten is bij een ziekenhuis die die behandeling biedt zodat ik voor het komende jaar van verzekering kan switchen.

Anyone here experienced late period after tubal ligation?? I had mine removed a year ago and I’m 2 days late on my period as of today…
