How old do you have to be?

to get your tubes tied?

I think its 21 or you have to be married with atleast 2 children

Depends on your doctor. In NC they will tie them if you have a kid of each sex. But they don't like to tie them until 27 years old.

But with enough persuading/bitching they will do it at any time.

The hospital I went to nursing school at wouldn't do it until you were 25. That was 10 years ago, though.

My mom was like 22 when she got her tubes tied...but that was a million and a half years ago! LOL (actually just 26 years ago)

In IL you have to be over 21 and have alteast one child.

in florida its 21 or you have to have 3 children but if your 21 without 3 kids you have to go through counseling.

Most docs won't do it unless you have two children, one of each sex.

dang. I was hoping to get it done after i have Brooklynne

usually 21. w/ a child. and you have to through counceling also [here you do alteast. to make sure its what you want.]

Here it's 25, with two children of different sexes. My friend is 25 with two girls and can't get it done.

In Texas, you have to be over21 and have atleast 3 kids. But it's really up to the doctor.I have a cool one.... he's against it but will if you really want 2! So i'm still debating, he's really pushing for me to get the Mirena.

See i can understand the age limit and the number of children type thing ya know, but i still can't figure out how they can tell you that it has to be two children of each sex. lame. haha.

i guess technically they consider that a "complete" family.
