Hi everyone!
I have my surgery tomorrow to have my tubes removed. I'm extremely nervous for the procedure, I'm terrified of being in pain or something going wrong with the surgery.
I never wanted kids so my partner had his vasectomy 6 years ago, but I personally knew a vasectomy baby and that really freaks me out. Plus with the current administration attacking woman's rights I feel like abortion won't be possible if we were to be one of the rare ones to conceive with a vasectomy. So I'm curious, any ladies out there that got sterilization even though there partner had it?
If Roe wasn't overturned I don't think I'd be doing this because there were options for "the oopsies". But I don't want to be like my friends mom pregnant at 47 because of a failed vasectomy.
Any thoughts, experiences, or encouragement appreciated!
Edit: Hello again! I just wanted to thank you all so much for sharing your experiences and encouragement! I just got home from the procedure and I stressed over nothing. It was a breeze. As someone mentioned you blink and its over. Right after the procedure it felt like a terrible period but I asked for pain relief and they gave me an oxy and I feel zero pain at the moment! If anyone is thinking about getting the procedure but nervous about the surgery, completely understandable but just know this is not terrible. I feel so free! I'm officially in control of my reproductive health and safe!
