The 31st of August 2020 would have to be one of the best days of my life. Why? Because it was the day, I finally got my tubes removed at my request.I first had the thought when I was 17, when my mum was sick in bed and my dad was away for work. I was in Year 12, working part-time and suddenly had to look after my three younger siblings and myself. I remember saying that I didn’t want this to be my life.
This time around, I had a wonderful and supportive GP who signed the referral to a gynaecologist without hesitation. I made an appointment, met the gynaecologist, and finally heard the words I had waited to hear for so long. He said, “I can do the surgery next week, does that work for you?" Every time I think about the fact I physically can't get pregnant, it makes me smile and brings me great joy. I am smiling right now just thinking about it.
