Anticonceptivos
I asked my gynecologist for birth control but he told me not to take the pill. He also discouraged me to wear the loop. My husband was grumbling to wear the condom. He didn't realize that with two children under the age of 2 one was up through out the night that I couldn't take any risk. However at 30 he convinced me to sterilize and I kept telling him that my friend advised not to. However the gynecologist also said there were no side effects and pushed me to do it. Of course with a 3 and 4 year old and no help I wasn't thinking of myself. However on the day of the LRT at the very last minute I panicked and kept telling my husband indirectly that it would be better to avoid doing it. He got mad with me. I asked him what the doctor was going to do to me. He said, “I DON’T KNOW" in anger, which was equivalent to say: “I don’t care". On the way to the hospital he was so mad at me that he didn't speak a word. I have had such terrible side effects and regrets that I am begging anyone to educate all women on television, newspapers magazines etc. about the trauma and side effects of LRT. It is the worst thing that can happen to a woman. Please try to ban this terrible practice as husbands do force or convince us to do this terrible procedure. I NEVER signed any document. I have been dying to have a child ever since.
