As far as tubal ligation, though...seems you could ask your doctor about that. I'm just not sure.

I was talking about tubal litigation, I wasn't very clear on that, sorry. I'd feel ok having my uterus so long as I couldn't conceive. I'd prefer it gone, but I know that really isn't an option unless medically necessary because of those complications. A few women in my family have had reproductive cancers, so who knows.
I'm going to ask next time I'm in I think, but I don't think they'll listen to me, much less actually allow me, because I'm only 19. Apparently I'm old enough to make the permanent decision to go die for the country, but not to make the permanent decision to decide what to do with an organ in my body.
