I'm 27, and never had children. I decided to get my tubes tied/removed, and have an ablation. The doctor went ahead and approved it. I did it so that way I wouldn't have to keep taking the depo shot due to it causing bone density loss (I happen to be on the thin side with a small frame, so I don't want this to be worse for my body as is). This was also a big decision for me because I wanted to break the long line of abuse in the family along with mental illness and severe illness. my partner and I do want to have to carry on the burden of inherited neurodevelopmental conditions/mental illness or health issues. Some may call what I say it as eugenics, but honestly, if I had the choice to also do medical assisted
then I would. I didn't choose to be brought up in my mother's ****** relationship where she didn't want me from the get go, and brought upon all of my health issues that I have today along with my mental illnesses. So for me to have a kid with such inherited diseases, I wouldn't want that. I also know how hard it would have been to raise a child with both inherited Autism and ADHD/Mental Illness cooccurring as well. Also for me to be pregnant would have exacerbated my health issues and body to the point that it could end up problematic. My partner and I have our own opinions on birth control. He too will eventually follow suit in getting a vasectomy since he also doesn't want any kids. The tubal still does not guarantee no pregnancy, because there's still a slim chance of entopic ovary pregnancy (that can be deadly for me. I had my surgery last Friday, and I'm still in recovery.
