Women's Health Talk...NOT for the guys! :)

If having a perfect period was even a realistic possibility, that would have been how I would have described my monthly visit, before! Now...ha...not so much! I have been all over the web researching the possibility of tubal ligation interfering with this, and have found that has been proven that it does NOT!

From the time I had my first period, at age 13...until June 0f 2006...15 years later, I had a perfectly "normal" cycle. You know the one you hear about in Health class! 28 days between each, very light, only lasting a few days at a time, and the occasional cramp...no big deal. I never understood why people made such a fuss about it, I mean sure it wasn't fun, but it didn't affect my life too much! This was true even after giving birth 3 times, and having 2 miscarraiges, which are things that have been known to change a few women's cycles!

Then, in April, 2006...after having lost our second baby, and this time, I seriously thought it might kill me also due to severe hemorrhaging...we decided it was time for me to get my tubes tied! Almost 2 months later, I had the tubal ligation surgery, and was told that I would probably have an unusually heavy period the first time, but that they would be back to normal thereafter! I have not had a normal period in over 2 years now! Some months I have 2 periods. Other times, months will pass before I have one, and then when I finally do it is extremely heavy, and I have severe cramping!

I know 3 other woman who have had thier tubes tied, with different procedures also (my tubes were cut, burned and the ends tied off...I was absolutely POSITIVE I did not want any more children!) and these woman have had the same problems after the surgery! Anyone else out there have the same thing!?
