I’m pretty much curious as well as confused about the whole Female Sterilization procedure.

I am curious because:

• I do not like putting all those extra hormones in my body every day.
• I want to be sure I’m not going to get pregnant.
• I do not want to have kids now and I don’t foresee me having kids in the future.

But then I’m also confused because:

• I am going to be permanently altering my body. (Even tattoos scare me)
• It’s a surgery! What if something goes wrong?!

Since I don’t have medical insurance to help fix me if anything goes wrong and I don’t have the money to pay for it, I would rather opt for a copper IUD.

I would rather be responsible for being on birth control then believing the guy is doing everything right. Since I would be the one having to deal with the “mistake” I’d rather prevent any mistakes before they start.

The types of birth control I’ve practiced varies:

• The Pill (Yaz, Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo, Loestrin)
• The NuvaRing
• A diaphragm
• Birth control patch
• Female condom / male condom
• Coitus Interruptus

And I refuse to use the shot or the implants. eww creepy

The type of birth control I really want to use is to have an IUD.  But because of my age and the fact that I never had given birth, the people at Planned Parenthood don’t really want me to use it.  And that makes me very sad…they don’t want to make me happy. Maybe I should give them an ultimatum; either give me ParaGard or Sterilize me permanently. Then we’ll see what they say. muahaha
