I want tubal ligation plus the pill
| Tue, 04-04-2006 - 3:48pm |
I am planning on getting a tubal ligation and want to remain on a lower dose of birth control to control my periods, I have been on ortho novum for 16 yrs now and feel like it is lowering my sex drive (never had a orgasm with just sex) and I have been on it since the age of 16. Me and my husband are done having kids and I want to get this over with but my periods used to be very bad when I was a teenager and after using the pill they stopped completely. I want to know if anyone has had a tubal ligation and remained on a low dose pill to control their periods. Thanks for any info!!

It's not common, but probably also not unheard of also.
You could have a (i think it's caller) laser abalation---I am sure I am butchering the spelling of it--after the TL. I think it goes by the brand name of novasure. It removes the endometrial lining and stop your period compleatly and/or signifintaly reduce bleeding. It is not a BC method, but you need to be sure you are done with having kids. I don't know much about it other than I news report I saw, but it might be worth checking out.
