1/5 my suggestion to all people able to conceive a child who do not want a child: start asking your GYN for elective sterilization now. Do not say it is because you fear you may not be able to get an abortion in the future. State your reasonings openly for why you do not want
2/5 to have a child. We should not have to explain our reasons, but they are necessary for elective surgery. Do not stop asking at every visit. If your GYN tells you no because you are “too young” get a new GYN and keep asking. Research your doctor for admitting privileges and
3/5 do your research. The most commonly asked questions for elective sterilization still put emphasis on future relationships and your partners views (even if you currently do not have a partner)! they will ask you about death of loved ones and the possibility of finding comfort
4/5 in a newborn baby. Strike those questions down and remain adamant that you are educated on the topic and know your options, let them know over and over again that this is a life long decision you have spent time on and that you are ready to take the final step.
5/5 DO NOT STOP ASKING. This is recorded at every visit you have. Creating a paper trail of your requests improves your odds of being successful in this endeavor.
