Seriously considering a bisalp procedure:
I am 35 years old (36 in September). I have known basically my whole life that having a child wasn’t something I’d want. My mind is completely made up at this point not to mention I’m not getting any younger plus I have Crohn’s Disease. I have been looking into more permanent options available outside of the typical birth control such as IUD. Mind you, I have been on birth control pills since I was 16 years old so I am very accustomed to having control over my birth control. I also have pretty strong health anxiety and fear of becoming pregnant accidentally. The anxiety alone, age, and high blood pressure (controlled with medicine) are factors contributing to needing to get off birth control pills.
I would prefer to have a bisalp done verses getting my tubes tied/burned and a hysterectomy. We all know the stereotypical things surrounding a woman wanting to have this type of procedure without ever having kids. Most doctors won’t even consider it.
I’m looking for advice, experiences, how hard was it for you to find a doctor who actually respects this decision that a woman has the right to make regardless of never having children, age, relationship status, etc? What are some things to consider most when making the decision to go this route? Any thoughts, experiences, and advice is truly appreciated!
Thanks!
