Change your uterus, change your life.

For quite a long time I've wanted to make sure I never have babies. Hormone-based birth control is a terrible idea. Who wants to trick their body into thinking it is pregnant for years at a time? Gross

Boobs to the tubes, baby

[poetofthewyrd]

Reading this was like a deja wha?! I myself am thinking about become worm-free, aka, baby-free. (I call them "face-huggers," yes, from Alien.) Though I do believe I'd make a good parent in general, I'm tired of worrying about bc, etc (I was one of those lucky ladies to get pulmonary emboli from the NuvaRing - joy! $10,000+ later...) I firmly believe there already are WAY too many children in this world and spend enough time working for a non-profit where all you see are abused children and you think, why the HELL would I have one when there are so many out there that are already fucked up? Of course, that being said, MOST intelligent people should try and reproduce at least one spawn (ratio of stupid to intelligent would right itself correct??). But I digress...

I'm not sure if I'd do the Essure due to scar tissue freaking me out, but please keep an update on your experience, if that's the path you choose. I need to do more research on this while I still have insurance. Honestly, cats are enough. I love Tillie more than I probably ever could a child, and she's much quieter and doesn't hate me if I ground her. :P

That's exactly where I'm coming from. I don't exactly work for non-profit per se, but I work for the police and I hear about all sorts of kids whose parents choose to be ballsacks and abandon them.

Yeah, the driving factor was not to have any hormones with my b.c. AND insurance covers it.

20$ per month for pills versus 20$ copay for sterilization

NO BRAINER.
