I won’t have time to film one for awhile with work and other things in my life- BUT! I wanted to mention I do reply to ever comment/question I get on the topic! So if theres anything specific, lemme know and I’m happy to answer! Happy to report I’m thriving and still stand by my decision!

I go girl? YOU go girl! Three kids! You’re amazing! Motherhood may not be my journey but I respect mothers so much! 💕🥰 I’m glad you saw this video! Thank you for the love, I’m sending some your way too!!

I’m so so happy to hear that!! I’m glad they’ve helped you and I hope you get the outcome you are seeking and have all the support in the world!!

There are several subreddits that are great resources for sterilization/CF info.

I hope you find a doctor that will do it! There are too many stories of women who get a no. I am one of them. The fact that i have an auto immune illness that make it extremly hard for me to carry a baby and take care of a baby, and that i had been 100% sure i wanted to do it for 5 years didn’t even face the doctor. He still thought i could change my mind. 13 years later and my mind is still not changed. It should not be that hard for us to be belived that we know what we want. I wish you all the good luck. I really hope it gets easyer for you then it has been for some others. Don’t give up if you get no. I gave up to quickly i feel like now.

You’re so welcome! I’m glad I could help- a shirt dress and slip on shoes was the best attire I could have for this and it’s become my go to uniform for any future surgeries 😂 So easy to slide into while groggy and sore!!

Absolutely. Not only is it becoming more common it’s becoming more talked about and I think that’s a good thing. I’m so sorry about your auto-immune illness! I know it can be a struggle to live in a world that isn’t built around the accommodations many people need. I hope your symptoms are managed and you have the right care teams to help you! I will keep talking about it and answering questions until I’m unable to any longer. The topic of people deciding to be childfree and bodily autonomy will never cease and as someone in a place of massive privilege having had my procedure, I plan to never stop vouching for others and helping in any way I can! Thank you for sharing you story, every story helps another person who stumbles onto this video. 💕🥰 Our collective impact is immeasurable!

@@JosyBun it needs to be normalized that some people don’t want kids. What ever reason they have, they should not be questiond or looked at weird for it. Actually the time i got 100% sure i could not have kids where after babysitting. A family that i had been babysitting for for 8 years + got a new baby. He was crying alot during the night so i was holding him and carrying him alot during the night. I was in so much pain after that and could not straiten out my arm for 3 days. I could basicly not use my arms. Everytime i used my arms i was in exstreme pain. I knew then that it was no chanse of me having kids. Actually the mom of that baby got angry when i told her i wasent going to have kids. She said that was bs and i was so good with kids, i just had to have them. And that i could get my family to help take care of my kids. I said, i am not having kids to have others raise them. Alot of people tried to convince me to have kids. How stupid is that?. Anyways, i don’t know wich auto-immune illness i have yet. If i get an anwser there will probably be some meds i can try. Now i get painmeds and kortisone when needed. I live in Norway so healthcare is great and i got disebilety so i am lucky to live here when i ended up getting ill. I love seeing others in the comments who have chosen not to have kids. Feel like there is a little communety out there with people i don’t know that i am a part of 😊. Us who don’t have kids and are happy lol

Absolutely! It really is the freakiest part! So in my experience, they wheeled me into the OR completely awake with my IV already placed in my hand. I physically had to slide from the rolling bed to the operating table, where I laid down, slid forward into place, and then the nurses put on the facemask to administer the anesthesia. I’ve only been put under twice, once for a tooth removal and once for this surgery, but if you’ve ever passed out from dehydration or heat or another medical condition, I’d compare it to that. I was told to count backwards from ten after the mask went on, and I believe I got to seven. During that time, I could see the nurses running around the room to get to work, and was aware of an increasing heaviness that overcame me mentally, I was very aware that the drugs were kicking in, and that I was about to be knocked out, if that makes sense! My body slipped into unconsciousness very quickly after they administered the drugs. While I was super aware of what was going on, there wasn’t any way to stay awake even if I tried. It was very much wide awake to instantly out. Maybe a couple seconds in between, while counting. I was super anxious, and I believe they gave me something to mitigate that in my IV prior to being wheeled into the OR. If you’re feeling super anxious, definitely ask them to! You don’t usually need to be diagnosed to get them to administer anxiety medication for a procedure, and it definitely helped me! I also got an anti-nausea before and after surgery and a prescription for it to take with the narcotic during recovery! TLDR; Super awake, to suddenly knocked out. Couldn’t fight it if I had wanted too, woke up kind of groggy but overall very aware of my surroundings and became fully cognizant and in control of my body in around 10 minutes. :)

Thank you so much! 💕

Definitely always do your research before you get a surgery date! I was incredibly confident about my decision and my OBGYN only does full removal. They did not even offer the metal clips or burning them shut. However, the method I have is not ever going to be reversible! I think more doctors are switching to a full removal because it just seems like an easier process overall! Personally I didn’t consider or research the other methods because I was so sure about having them fully gone regardless. I was very afraid of having a fatal ectopic issue down the line, so the full removal eased those fears!

@@JosyBun this lady a saw have 4 kids i think it was, and didn’t want anymore at all. But it seemed like the metal clips where the only option the doctor told her about. It was what the doctor recomended atleast. After she regreted not researhing more. That’s why i wanted to leave the comment here. Not all doctors are good at giving all the info about all the options.

Not bad at all! I recommend watching my other video on it, I get more into it there. But generally, recovery is roughly a week!

Not sure what you mean, my procedure was Laparoscopic, as that’s the most minimally invasive way to conduct a surgery for the pelvis/abdomen area! I’ve only ever heard of them preforming a tubal surgery this way, unless maybe the individual is having it done post-C-Section during birth. But I’m not certain!

Marie Stopes in London

@@cliff1958 do they charge or is it free from the nhs

@@amberkarim6924 It's available on the NHS but their is a long waiting list so I got in touch with Marie Stopes and had the op in about 2 weeks . Privately It's not painful at all so all the videos that say it hurts made me feel anxious about it when I rested for a couple of days I was fine I can highly recommend getting it done.is your boyfriend/ husband.
