Ok so
I am 27 and have liver issues caused by the birth control pill. And I am unable to use any birth control other then the copper iud that I don’t want to use.
I have a child and we don’t want anymore children. We are married and have been together 10 years.
I have been punching for a tubal ligation. And I am getting the your to young line and it’s super frustrating.
On a side note my pregnancy was a disaster, I had bleeding, my liver began to fail and my daughter was born early.
I am 110% certain this is what we want.
I can obviously fall pregnant but my body would know what was going on and my liver would beginning to struggle fast. Even with these issues I’m still finding it hard to have the doctors take me seriously
I’m honestly going to scream at them soon. Any suggestions?

I got my tubes tied at 32 please see someone else.
Isn't it funny how you can have Drs tell you that you shouldn't have any more children but ask about getting tubes tied and its a no! I had 4 by 23 and my final birth was horrific. The Dr told me I should not be having any more but still would not let me get my tubes tied. The last time I asked was when I was 30, still no. I'm now 38 and not even bothered anymore I have the mirena in and encouraging the other half to get the snip. I think your best chance is asking on a local group for mums or women and asking which Drs do it for younger Mums in your area!
I went private as opposed to public/Medicare funded and they didn’t say no at all. Just recommended counselling from someone within the hospital to ensure we know the repercussions and reversal procedures :) I’m 25.
Would your partner be willing to get the snip?
From what I've noticed, it's easier for a man to get aproval for a vasectomy than it is for a woman to get aproval for tubal. Total bullshit, but that seems to be the reality!
You’re 27 and your 110% certain you know exactly what you want for the rest of your life ...bbbbbbaaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa. I’m sorry I couldn’t read past that it was hilarious
And this is relevant and helpful how??
I thought I knew exactly where I was going at 27 too, 13 years later and shock horror I had no idea and even worse so did many of my friends! So many in 2nd marriages, having vasectomys reversed or having to look at other options. I agree with her drs and my guess is their life experience and medical knowledge of her condition combined is giving her the right advice.
🤦♀️🤦♀️ and that's your experience. Just because you were indecisive doesn't mean other people cannot stand firm in knowing exactly what it is they want.
I'm the same age as the OP, I do not want more children yet I constantly get people and medical professionals telling me I'm too young to take permanent precautions in preventing a child I do not want!
The same as people who chose to not have children "Oh, you'll change your mind when you're older".
Sorry, but no one gets to tell someone they're to young to make such decisions.
I'm the poster who wanted it done at 23, when you're done, you're done! I'm onto my second marriage and 38 and still no way I'm having more! If OP says she knows she is done then it's not up to anybody else here to laugh about it.
You actually are a dick. Whether she wants more or not is irrelevant - pregnancy is unsafe for her and she'd like to stay healthy. By not getting pregnant.
And yeah, you may have gotten it wrong the first time so decided to start again as an arrogant older person, but many many women do actually know what works for their own lives at a younger age. It's called maturity. One day you may find it.
I had my tubes tied at 24, rings over my tubes. We were done having our kids young. I then somehow fell pregnant at 38. Never ever used birth control after my tubes, rings still in place although one had slipped. I have since had an ablation and Mirina and have had no issues since, maybe look into that option.
Private ob/gyn
I requested tubes tied during my second pregnancy during caesarean at 29yrs. No questions, no argument. Ob agreed immediately. Paying for a service on MY body. There should never be an argument from the professional.
