Hmmmm. Mine was many years ago & I guess things must have changed a lot - for me it was 2 weeks before I could consider exercise.

Yeah, I already miss the 'woo' button. However, it won't deter me, lol. Way to spread misinformation as if it were fact.
"However, there are some data to support the concept that in certain individuals, sterilization may result in disruption of ovarian blood or nerve supply, producing gynecologic sequelae."
As far back as the early 80s, that I am personally aware of after a quick review, there have been published papers discussing the risk of ovarian dysfunction due to blood supply disruption as the possible culprit - see the above direct quote. Between then and now, far more than "one doctor" has been the one authoring and publishing them. Have they all lost their licenses if MD/DO and/or been discredited as legit research scientists? If you want to argue yes, let's see the list of the disgraced and how it was verified. The two men who are the MD authors of the attached paper's header and earlier quote lifted directly from it would be a good place for you to start.
If one wants a tubal as her choice of permanent birth control, do your due diligence and insure you have a surgeon who personally believes in at least the blood supply theory and demonstrates s/he use a technique that preserves as much of it to the entire oophora (ovaries) as possible. That is about all you can do to mitigate the risk concerning this particular possible reason for to the best of your abilities/power.
Personally, since turning 40 I will never have sex with any man who is not vasectomized but that is indeed just me, lol. Especially so if I was married to him.

It took me a little longer, but hooray for a partner with a vasectomy!1 -
If I can could go back in time, I wouldn't have had mine.
My doctor made it sound like an easy surgery with no complications. It sent me into early menopause. After surgery I researched it, and hormonal problems and early menopausal symptoms are common after a tubal ligation.
I wish I'd made my husband get a vasectomy instead. Because it is an easy surgery, with little down time and very, very rare side effects.1 -

Actually, I wouldn't even ask my husband to do it. Because I'm the one who doens't want more kids - he would have a billion more if my shop was still open for business. And you just never know - I mean - who knows if we'll still be together in x amount of time?
So I wouldn't want to kitten his chances of potentially having more kids with another partner at some point just because I personally didn't want more kids.
My friend married a dude whose wife made him get a vasectomy - they weren't able to reverse it properly. They had to spend a kitten load of money on IVF due to that.
It's just not fair to ask IMO. And not just because of what happened to my friend, I already thought that before this happened to her.0 -
My biggest surprise was my abdomen swelling up for several days. Please come back and tell us if the procedure and recovery are as minor as your doc predicts.0

@PiscesIntuition
My husband had offered, but because I had a lot of other health issues, plus I had a lot of complications through pregnancy, labor, etc. I took the bullet. I was already having a series of surgeries.
@Cahgetsfit
I kind of thought the same, why screw him out of more kids if we didn't work out or if I died. But tubal ligation was one of the biggest regrets of my life! Thousands spent in hormonal replacement, being late 20s in menopause.
I just wish I'd researched it before I did it. But the internet was not what it is today!
Didn't realize this was an old post. So, I hope the OP's surgery went well, no complications or side effects!!

I had my tubes tied when I was 27. It's been 10 years now and I haven't had any complications. No hormonal issues, and a predictable cycle every 28 days. I was pretty sore for about 2 weeks with the gas pain being the worst.2

I had mine clipped last year. I’ve always thought of myself as really brave and could deal with pain well. I’ve also had 5 kids. It took a full five days until I could stop taking painkillers and I had to sleep sitting up on the sofa because it hurt too much to lie down. It was such a shock to me after being told it was pretty painless. A year on though i’ve had no problems, cycle is regular and glad I had it done.1

i had a tubal a thousand years ago. just two small holes, and my doctor told me to hold off working out for several days. i went for a walk and bled - not dangerously! - so that my lower belly swelled. very little pain, btw, and other than that bleeding, which stopped soon, an easy recovery.1

What kind did you have? Now, they’re all fancy with clips, tied, blocked, etc.zebasschick wrote: »i had a tubal a thousand years ago. just two small holes, and my doctor told me to hold off working out for several days. i went for a walk and bled - not dangerously! - so that my lower belly swelled. very little pain, btw, and other than that bleeding, which stopped soon, an easy recovery.

It was just a discussion, like any other marital decision.... Hours and days of weighing out pros and cons.1 -
