So true, although I have heard that this is less true with military doctors, I don't know if they have more protection from malpractice claims or what. I may have better luck getting this done now, I haven't had a chance to ask a doctor about it yet.

Bad thing was it made her really depressed.

I wish I could but I have to be really careful about hormones due to a condition with my right ovary.

Seems a bit mental that you could sue a doctor, because they "should" have been psychic enough to magically know you were going to change your mind ( if you did )

You would think. I could understand hesitance performing such a procedure on an 18 year old who has never had a long term relationship but I'm 25 and married to the man I have been with for 7 years, my view on family is extremely unlikely to change.
Oh well at least I'm better now, the first two or three days are the only bad ones, after that the cramps are mostly gone and the bleeding is fairly light.
