I just read up on this proceedure and the risks are very real. They remind me of what I have been going through for years since having a tubal 25 years ago. It served it's intended purpose but I have had to contend with progressively heavier periods because the natural flow of my hormones from the uterus were blocked at a time when I needed them the most. You see, I was just beginning premenopause (ages 35-50). During the 4 most recent years as I got closer to menopause, I have had a number of heavy cycles that just would not stop for thirty days and I was one that was never irregular. My red blood cells were so dangerously low, I was too weak to stand not to mention the emotional turmoil I was in. There were times when I thought I would not survive it because my options were either not helping or too radical to try.
Thankfully after a lot of prayer, research and a lot of help from my very caring and patient husband, I began using
natural progesterone from the health food store which regulated and lightened my periods.
I tell you all this to encourage you to weigh everything about this proceedure. The cramping alone would send me running! None of this irreversible medical stuff is worth it to me.
Have you and your husband looked into vasectomy? That may be a whole lot less risky. I know from what my daughter says, more couples are looking in this direction. Or maybe you could look for something more natural and way less invasive. Keep us posted. I'll be praying for you.
