Lowers ovarian cancer risk by 40%. Grandmother died from it so this method was recommended.
Also eases transition into menopause.
I had vaginal births so no tubal and seems silly for DH to get a vasectomy when we probably only have a very small window for pregnancy (44 years old).
?? Why do women in their 40s make their husbands get vasectomies. I understand if you are in your mid-30s--but friends doing it at 45 baffle me. The window of fertility is almost gone. Why not something lesser for a few short years?

To protect the money from future potential children should the husband leave you to start a new family with a new, younger trophy wife?

I've had three vaginal births and I had a tubal ligation, so that line confuses me. It seems to imply that women who've had vaginal births aren't candidates for tubals? Anyway, the TL was the right choice for me. It was more invasive, but it was outpatient and I was back to 100% in a few days. The Mirena hormones (yes, they have hormones whatever small amount the doctors claim) and they had me going crazy, so I had to find another method.
Also, is ablation birth control?? I researched and discussed the procedure with two doctors for my heavy cycle. Ultimately, I decided the risk was not for me and went with a D&C to thin a thickened lining. That fixed the heavy periods and carried less risk than ablation.

I have fibroids/horrible periods. If you're over the age of 40 with horrible periods, what birth control are you using. Ablation?
