[quote=Anonymous]My 2nd pregnancy was pretty difficult and having more children wasn't part of the plan for me.  Since I had an emergency C, at just under 36 wks, with #2 and I had thought about a tubal for all of 10 minutes the day prior, I was in no place to make that decision on the day I delivered.  I had paragard years ago and it was very effective but the cramps were debilitating.  Due to continuing hypertension post partum, the mini pill was the only option.  Medically, it is not advised for me to have additional children so choosing something permanent wasn't hard for me.  I ultimately had an ablation procedure.  It's not to be used as birth control, it's a procedure to address erratic periods or menorrhagia with a side effect of eliminating the endometrial layer in your uterus.  No endometrial tissue, no where for an embryo to implant.  The younger you are when you get it, the more likely you are to need the procedure again as some endometrial tissue can regrow.  It's been 4 years for me and I've not had a period.  I do cramp when I ovulate, but no hormones and I can go through menopause naturally.  Best decision I've ever made.  [/quote]
