I am 22 years old with no children. I had a tubal ligation over the
summer. It took me 8 years to find a doctor who would perform a tubal
ligation on me. They will most definitely try to talk you out of it,
but if you truly want to have the operation just don't back down. I'm
not sure where you are from, but I live in Arkansas and if you are near
this area I can give you the name of the doctor who did mine. Good
luck...
