Reply to comment by salty_worms in A while ago someone posted about NH HB 277 that would allow elective sterilazation to be easier for women to access. Any updates on that? I couldnt find any online. by salty_worms

I am lucky I got mine a few years ago before we became breeding cattle. I got my procedure done at Dartmouth in Lebanon, but I heard they're no longer doing it. You can always double check, but I am sure there is an ob that can point you in the right direction.

I heard european countries like denmark are easier to become steril then in the US so maybe I just need to learn a little danish.

I was expecting a huge ordeal, but I just spoke to my doctor and let her know that I didn't want children and that this is something I have known for a long time. I was expecting to have to speak with a therapist, but my doctor listened, understood, and scheduled the surgery. It's the best thing that ever happened to me and I wish I could have done it sooner.

I hope that, if you're completely sure about it, you can find a willing doctor without having to travel thousands of miles across an ocean. 😁

Whether or not they'll perform it on a 18 year old is a different question, but they certainly perform the procedure on some.

I agree. I would have loved that option at 18, but I can see where there would be a concern that maybe she'll changed her mind. In that case, they could offer a tubal instead of the removal.
