Tubaligation Patients.....

I had my tubes tied in December immediately after my son was born. I feel like I'm going crazy. Is it possible that this causes hormone imbalances or something? I know just having kids can drive you crazy but it's beyond the normal. I can go from laughing hysterically into just sobbing like there's no tomorrow. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I really just losing it???

The tubal ligation merely disconnects the fallopian tubes from the uterus, thus preventing the passage of your eggs to the uterus. It has no effect on the estrogen that your ovaries produce and release into your body. It sounds to me like you may be having some post partum depression or baby blues like the previous poster said. It is however, not uncommon to experience wierd hormonal changes to your body for many many months following a pregnancy. You should make an appointment with your OB/GYN and discuss this with them, and they can work with you to find a solution. It could also be that you may be feeling the permanence of having your tubes tied and not being able to have children again. Many women experience this after a hysterectomy as well. Talk to your doctors, they can't help you if you don't let them know what is going on with YOU.

It sounds to me like you may be experiencing something more than just "baby blues". Contact your ob and let them know your symptoms, they may be able to help you.

I am feeling the same thing. I can't go to the doctor because I have no insurance and even if I did....I live away from my children's grandparents....I have no one to watch my three children while I go anyway. My mood swings are almost pushing my whole family away. My fiance thinks I'm crazy!! I can't help it. I see it happening, but I can't help it. I wish I would have never gotten the surgery done. I am doing the best I can to take care of the children I have now, and they require so much attention and so much love, it would be unfair to them if I had anymore children. In my opinion, it's wrong to go against what God gave me and that was the ability to have children....and I went against his will by getting my tubes tied. I just kind of feel like I'm getting what I deserve when my body is going through all these crazy changes!! God Bless you,,,,, and if the doctors where you live are anything like the ones where I live,,,,,it doesn't do you any good to talk to them anyway,,,they are not interested in the problem,,,they'll just give you some nerve medication and send you out the door!
