So I've been on the childfree band wagon all my life. Without exception. I have never, nor do not ever want to have kids.
I have used progestorone in one form or another for 11 years, I currently have an Implanon in, which is my second one. I have decided I want something more permanent, as my health is impacted, and getting worse.
I am currently in a cycle of migraines, sleeping them off, then insomnia, leading to another migraine, which has been going on all week, and occurs fairly regularly. I have a lot of other side effects from the Implanon, which is starting to impact my relationship, and my partner is ranging from annoyed to worried, depending what side effect is going on. I have just learned to live with the side effects, but he is encouraging me to go seek alternatives, and honestly, he's right. He's been really sweet and offered to do everything he can so i can have it taken out, including resorting back to condoms, but I hate them, he hates them, and the risk of breakage is just too high, especially with how I roll in the bedroom.
I am really keen on having a tubal ligation. I have metal allergies so those copper IUD things are out, terrible memory and an unwillingness to risk going on the pill, worse side effects from Depo Provera injections, and really just want something completely permanent.
Trouble is, I'm 28, childless, and the ideal candidate for them to say "no way".
Has anyone one here had luck with any willing Australian Dr's? I'll travel if I need to. Or anyone who has decided early no kids, and how did you put it to your dr in a way that was acceptable. I know myself, I know I wont be changing my mind, I just need to convince them that so I can get on with my life in a healthier, happier way...

I highly doubt it... I know a girl who has 2 kids and a long term partner the same age. Even has endometriosis on ovarian cysts and no one will do it for her even. Its sucky. Shes also allergic to latex and has horrible reactions to synthetic estrogen. So pretty much she just avoids sex... its lame.
