Hey everyone, I’m trying to summon the courage to bring up sterilization at my next doctors appointment in a few weeks. I know that I never want children, and due to health issues I can’t take hormonal birth control or the copper IUD. Even if I could, who knows how long those will be legal in our current political apocalypse in the US.
So I want to get sterilized. I’m 24F and I have a few questions:
Which sterilization option is the safest, least invasive, most effective?
Any words of encouragement for someone who’s afraid of surgeries and medical procedures? I’ve never had a surgery, and the only time I’ve “gone under” was for a wisdom teeth removal, and that did not go very well. How long was your recovery time? How bad was the pain or side effects?
Thank you wonderful people!
