At age 41 I don't think any babies will be coming from my body. I still have a normal cycle with my period lasting 4-5 days. DH and I have a very active sex life. However, I am my DH's third wife. He never had children with his first two wives. So we are not certain if he is fertile. But he is a great step-dad to DD. Should I consider getting my tubes tied or getting a hysterectomy?


The only time I feel like I want a baby is when I see a cute little baby wrapped in a blanket sleeping peacefully. Then they wake up and start crying and I know I don't want to go through that again! LOL BTW, I have never had a child so I don't know if my body could take it.


Make sure you are absolutely sure that you do not want any more children and if you are sure let him get the vasectomy. He can have it done at the doctor's office and his down time is only 2 days. Tell him get it done on a friday and he can go back to work on monday. My brother and uncle had it done and they were fine with the procedure with no complications they both got to lay on the couch watching football games all day they were in hog heaven getting waited on hand and foot.

you wont be able to get hysterectomy unles theres a problem, 2nd my df could enevr get his 1st wife pregant at age 48 we had our 1st baby, hes got low sperm count and been trying for 8 months now. soon we wuill go test his sperm maybe ur hubby can do that if u do want a baby. my df now is 50 were trying . its never to late i am alot younger then he is . so were going to go to doc in few months mybe get in iui , anyway my point is if u want a baby check his ssperm or even if u dont they still check it so u dont have to get ur tubes tied if hes not fertile then u have nothing to worry about

Personally I wouldn't have wanted to have a baby at 41, I'm 48 now. I had my tubes tied after my last child and she's now 17 years old. I would be worried about getting pregnant. I'd get my tubes tied if I were you. Or maybe have your dh checked first, if he is infertile than you don't have to even get your tubes tied.
