The Consultation

On November 14, 2011, I will be meeting with the gynecologist to whom my doctor referred me. She and I will be discussing my options regarding a tubal ligation.

One of my biggest concerns is that since I've been on a hormonal birth control for almost 13 years and when I don't take it for a month I suffer from debilitating cramps, how will my body react to not having any hormonal assistance at all?

I'm pretty excited to not be at risk of pregnancy.
