okay, so i've made up my mind about doing 'permanent' procedures to my body, such as hair removal by electrolysis, permanent makeup, removal of moles, and tattoos...
i want to tie my tubes..
i'm 21, and I KNOW i will never want any kids.. i'm not good with kids, and i will never have the patience and mental stamina to deal with infants / screams / sleepless nights / expenses / dirty diapers / clutter. In my family there is a history of postpartum psychosis that lead to psychiatric hospitalization, and i'm a very cleanliness-obsessed freak, staying single by choice, and living my life carefree, to do whatever i want. I've had an IUD and it caused massive bleeding due to my uterus being small and tilted, and i had to take it out especially because i use a diva cup now and i'm in love with it ! (no more birth control pills...( i took it for 3 years and it was a horrible experience + i'm a smoker and i've inherited varicose veins and probably blood clotting when i'll be old.)
There was a (dark) time in my life when i used to weigh 260 LBS (i'm 5'2, so that is life-threatening HUGE) .. i've lost massive amounts of weight now, and i'm still losing.. i'm a constant work in progress, both physically AND mentally.... I would never want to let a pregnancy ruin what i have achieved so far with blood, sweat and tears.
Now that i've stated my reasons above, here's the problem.... In my country, it's against the etic medical laws to perform a voluntary sterilization to a person under 30 years old, and the approved candidate has to be at her 2nd pregnancy. This is bullshit... i've called 17 doctors throughout the country and they all said NO. Not even with a 6-month decision signing papers..NO.
so.... does anyone know what are the medical regulations in other countries regarding this matter? and if they perform it to a candidate such as me, do i have to be a citizen of their country or something? Money is not of concern, i just want to be enlightened about the posibilities, and since i'm single (and plan of staying that way for the next 2-3 years), i will move to the US eventually and i'll perform it there, once i get my green card and Obamacare (because i read that they cover sterilization).
Thank you in advance.
edit: one doctor told me that he cand insert the ESSURE threads, but i've read some negative reviews about his practice facilities + i've read that many women regretted that decision because it was very painful, caused uterine perforations, and it seems just morbid.

... i hope all of this i'm saying right now, would eventually convince a psychologist / obgyn to give me the green line to sterilization.
