No. Sterilization will not be performed if you are pregnant.

Will it affect menopause?
No. Sterilization does not prevent or cause menopause or any of its symptoms.

Will it prevent sexually transmitted infections?
No.

Will I still have a period?
Yes. After the procedure, you will experience your normal pattern of menstrual cycles. If you were using birth control pills and your periods were irregular before you started using them, you will again experience irregular patterns. As women age, their periods change in frequency, duration, and amount of bleeding. As you approach menopause (late 40s to 50s), expect cycle irregularity, whether or not you have had a tubal sterilization.

Rarely, a woman's menstrual cycle may change after sterilization with essure.

What happens to the eggs?
An egg is released each month. It dissolves and is absorbed by the body. Other dead and unused cells are absorbed naturally by the body throughout life.

Thank you tazzy d for your help.

I wasn't sure about the whole thing. I still want to have one more child, but my pregnancies were so hard on me that my doctor told me it would be best if I get my tubes tied. I wish that I would have never done it!

I was looking into ivp because I know it's so hard to get a reversal done. I had 3 c-sections so it would be hard to have to have it done. But I wanted to use my own eggs. I wasn't sure if they could get them.

Thank you again!
