Answers: Is it possible to have your tubes tied under 25 with no kids?

Here in the US, while it is legal, it can be difficult for a childless woman to get tubal ligation, particularly if she's young or single. It's pretty much up to the gynecologist and surgeon in question. The link below is for a LJ community dealing with sterilization questions. They have many useful links over in the sidebar, including state tags so you may be able to find a childfree-friendly local physician.

yes

Good luck in finding a dr that is willing to perform the surgery.
Unless you have a medical condtion that will threaten ur life when ur pregnant he won't do it.

I think it depends on what state you live in and what the guide lines are for that state. In my state unless you have a serious medical problem, have had children and are certain you don't want more, they will not tie your tubes unless you are 25 with children.

I had mine done after 3 children when I was 21. I tried to have it done when I was 19, but they wouldn't let me do it unless I had a problem pregnancy, which I did not. After 3 children though, they went ahead and did it. This was in the U.S., Michigan. I don't know if it varies by state or by Dr., but I would check into it.
