Elizabeth,

Dr Ind said that "Birth control methods that block ovulation, or block sperm, and thus prevent fertilization, include tubal ligation"...wouldn't a tubal ligation not block ovulation, but rather block the sperm from reaching the egg? I suspect that this is what he meant.

thought it was a barrier method. Does this mean women that have had a tubal do not ovulate? Thanks for clearing this up for me! >---
