Lisa_Orlanda, if you are really sure that is what you want and are not worried about future regrets, I say go for it. The procedure is short and uncomplicated. After three weeks, I'm back to my regular work and physical activity schedule. Be prepared to have a very strong standpoint when you get "interrogated" by your doctor on whether this is what you "really really want". In my case it was easy, since both my RN and MD were female and openly CF and that made it very conflict-free. I am in my late 30's myself and have been on BCP for over 20 yrs. I was thinking along the same lines as you. Even though long-term intake of BCP brings several positive health benefits, at some point enough is just enough. And since I knew I would never want kids, the financial aspect also played a role. Why keep shelling out the $$$ for the pill, if you don't really have to? I'd rather go out and have a nice dinner instead with that money! If you have any other questions, feel free to mail me.
