 [ Symptoms ] i would just like to know how old you have to be before you can get your tubes tied i keep getting different answers i get different answers and i would just like to know from an expert if i can get this done i am almost thirty and i have one child and pregnant with another i want this procedure because my husband will not wear protection and i dont want anymore children [ Disease ] you can do it you just need to address this with your doctor it is your choice at age thirty and with two almost children this is not a decision that should be made lightly if your husband is not willing to cooperate he can get a less riskier vasectomy  then you have to make the decision you can get an iud or progesterone implant and delay this decision for several years or you can both agree that a tubal ligation is your best choice
