Hey there Connie, my name is Connie too. I wanted to comment on your message about having problems after having a tubal. I had a tubal in 1987 after the birth of my second son, and like you, I didn't have "female" problems until after I had this surgery. Everything went downhill from there. I finally had a TAH/BSO last November with the hopes of ending the problems. so far everything is great. Few small ups and downs, but nothing that is near as bad as before. I shoulda done it sooner.
