I just can't get my doctor to listen to me. All I get is 'you're too young, you might change your mind'. Yes, I am young, but there are plenty of girls my age, and indeed younger, who get pregnant, or seek fertility advice, yet nobody tells them they'll change their mind!
Every time I see him, I bring it up. He says the same thing, every time. I've even seen another doctor in the same practice, and I got the same response.
How can I get a doctor to listen to me? Sure, I'm 'only' 18, but I've never wanted kids. When I was a kid myself, I never played with dolls, I never played 'house', never even though about having kids. I really don't like children. Like, at all. The idea of pregnancy really disgusts me. The idea of losing my identity and just becoming 'mommy' is terrifying. I imagine my future with kids, and without, and I know which I prefer.
Please, no 'don't be immature, pregnancy is beautiful' comments, and no 'they're right, you will change your mind' comments.
How can I persuade my doctor I want to get sterilized?
i also would like this done.i do have 1 child but hate the thought of having another.
iv listenedd to....YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND!!....sorry but no....i actualy hate screaming crying children.i fell pregnant last year (coil removal due to body regection)and booked into a clinic for a termination...NO REGRETS!
I will be seeing my doctor soon to ask to be sterelized and if he fefuses i will demand he finds me a doctor that will.i have been on the pill,injection,coil and just had the implanon removed,i am sick of being pumped up with drugs that are not 100%,even tho i have never been un lucky with any contraception i feel this way i can relax with no worrys and loose all the weight pills,injections implants have put on!
i hope you get it done,ill cross my fingers for us both xx

I know some people like you who never ever in their lives imagined themselves to be parents
Sure enough, they end up finding a spouse who think the same way and lo and behold, they remain childless for decades, planning to be such for this lifetime.
None of them get %26quot;sterilized%26quot; like lab mice.
They just avoid getting pregnant. If so many people have done this for years, what makes you different ?
Ask the guy to get a vasectomy.
Putting aside common sense and unwillingness to help you make what could turn out to be a drastic, unnecessary, and life-changing mistake, do you realize what would happen to a doctor who did that and then have you decide ten years later that you changed your mind and filed a malpractice sit? Disciplinary action report put into the public record with the State Board, a ton of money when you sue for damages, and they would have to tap into their malpractice insurance to pay the settlement. These things can be career ending, look bad for a doctor who was ruled to have committed malpractice, malpractice insurance premiums go up because you have already shown you don't have the best judgement, your peers may look down on you for doing something that is just plain dumb and violates every ethical precinct. Doctors take these things very seriously and they didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition, sacrificed, dedicated themselves to, and worked very hard for to lose it all over giving you tubal ligation. It isn't even the smart thing to do and is unnecessary considering the ease and convenience of an IUD implant that can keep you sterile for up to 5 years. They are even selective about who will get those and they wear off after a while. I am not a girl but I am in my 30's and I had to twist their arm to surgically sterilize me and the only reason I got it in the end was by convincing them I have genetic defects the kid would get and I am unfit to be a father due to schizophrenia. I will respect your wishes and not tell you that you will change when you mature.That's fine because it is hard to laugh at that and type at the same time anyway.
About the only way I can see this happening is if you were to have the procedure done in Mexico or Cuba, but you gotta pay cash and if you have any jewelry on when they put you under you won't when you wake up again.
