Sometimes, I have the weirdest dreams...
So, apparently, my dreams feel the need to remind me of exactly how much I don't want children.
For some really strange reason, not only did I have a dream in which I was pregnant (I have no idea how I knew, since in the dream I had not yet missed a period, and had not yet taken any tests for it), but apparently I was being pregnant for someone else. Surrogate mother or something? I don't know *what* I was on to do that... And for some reason, losing my job made whomever requested the child no longer want it. Grrrrrr...
On top of that, for some strange reason, I was taking care of someone's child until they came back from somewhere. On a semi-permanent basis. At which point, I was reminded of how glad I am that I am no one's children's godmother.
I wonder if I'm old enough yet that doctors would be willing to believe me when I say I don't want kids and want to be sterilized? Not that I've ever brought it up with any before, as I figured that they would not believe me...
Maybe I can sell people my eggs while I'm at it. ;)
Blah. Stupid dream... one of those not quite scary, but most certainly disconcerting things!

Well, I had it done at ... umm ... 29? ... strangely enough, I don't remember the exact age, but that's pretty close ... and didn't have any troubles. It helped that I was married, had been for some time, and that most other forms of birth control caused health problems for my wife. So, it was clear that I had had opportunities, passed on them, and had other "objective" reasons, to boot.

All I can suggest is, give it a shot. Bring it up with your doctor, and see what she has to say about it.
Let me drag my wife into the discussion, too; she hangs out with the childfree-by-choice crowd, and I know this is a topic that has come up many, many times. I'm sure she's got some insight.
