Dear Amy F, We have many women who claim that they have these same feelings you are talking about. And yet after tubal reversal they claim they are extremely diminished or fail to exist at all!!! This is quite an amazing alternative to divorce! LOL I hope this helps!

i feel the same way but i think it has alot to do with the fact that u feel guilty about having a tl i know i do and now that u want to have a baby so bad like i do it irritates u because now u have to wait until u have the money to pay for it when all and all we could of prevented this

I have the same problem. God bless my DH for putting up with me We have been married for only 7 months and unfortunately I am really nice for about 1 1/2 weeks out of the month.. (usually immediately following my AF.) After that I get moody, sad, depressed.. feel lonely.. no sex drive as well.. very very little patience.. Dr gave me zoloft and that does seem to help. I do know that all this started after my TL in 95'. Cant wait to have TR.. even if we dont get pregnant.. hopefully all those horrible TL issues will go away.

oh yeah...a lot of women have post tubal ligation syndrome. go to tubal.org for more information. I have the same feelings, only I notice them sometimes up to 2 weeks before my period is due. I completely hate my husband during that time! Its terrible. Have you noticed a change in your libido? I have NO sex drive...maybe just a few days out of the month and thats it. I'm only 31 and I've heard that that is when women are supposed to reach their sexual peak...hmph! I haven't sought any medication for my symptoms. I have heard of women on this message board who had PTLS and the symptoms were aleviated after their reversal. I haven't had a reversal yet so I can't give any advise there. Good luck!

i had my son by c-section and while pregnant w/ my daughter i wanted to have a vbac (vaginal birth after cesarian) but i told my doctor if i ended up having another cesarian i would like a tubal ligation at the same time. he said that would be fine and never told me about any complications or side effects!
well i ended up having to have another c-section w/ my daughter and they did the tubal ligation immediately after she was born.
i thought it was a great idea because our plan was to not have anymore kids.
after my daughter was born it was hard from the beginning because she had really bad colic and i had to stop nursing her at 6 weeks. then shortly after her colic was better i had post partum depression very bad. it was to the point of where i was feeling very suicidal and wanted to leave my husband and kids.
i called my ob/gyn to see him and i was told by the lady on the phone that it wasn't neccessary that he could call in a prescription for me. well i took that for a while and nothing changed.
finally, i went to see my regular doctor who said she couldn't believe what he had prescribed me because it was used mostly for patients in chronic pain and said it was very "old fashioned" of him. she put me on prozac and i felt much better.
after a while i dedided that my post partum symptoms were better. i didn't feel 100% but better so i stopped taking my prozac. i felt fine until i got my period. then i felt like my post partum had come back. after this kept happening for a couple months i went to see my doctor. she said to take my prozac about 5 days before my cycle starts and to stop it the 1st day of my period. this has been hard seeing as my cycle has been irregular since i've had my daughter.
anyway, now every month about 2 days before i start my period i start feeling awful. i feel isolated, lonely, sad, irate, enraged, and hopeless. i haven't felt myself since my tubal ligation (a year and a half ago) and feel like i've had it.
has anyone had similar instances? or if you've felt overly depressed around your period what has a doctor prescribed for u to help you? any advice anyone has would be great for me. thanks!
