So I kind have a lot to say over this topic, and wanted to bring it up to get more opinions (from women mostly, since this is a topic about them but no discrimination)
I've taken in how wild it was, that I honestly DIDN'T know almost nothing about my body. Yes, I took health class about 5-7 years ago but they never talked MUCH about specific genders and how the body works. I only knew my anatomy and how my body conceived and how birth/child growth was/worked. Nothing else.

I'm 22 y/o who is just NOW getting on a birth control, and I'm not ashamed by it. However, I did experience the horrors of pregnancy and I ended up getting an abortion. Me and my S/O aren't ashamed of it. And this is the part I want to discuss, I guess.

I went to an OB/GYN this morning, I set up this appointment almost two weeks ago. And I told them I needed a check up (pap smear or w/e) and I needed to get back on a birth control (I was given an IUD that sadly was rejected for reasons unknown). They suggest to women/girls to get on BC as soon as you become sexually active/want a better menstrual cycle. (my mother refused all of this, even tho I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18). Anyways, we were going over the forms of BC, and on the diagram I was given shown sterilization. She IMMEDIATELY smiled and said "We won't talk about this." And moved on. I was HIGHLY annoyed.

I believe that children are not a god send, and I'm not a typical house/wife/mother type. I don't see the significance of children and don't want any. And I doubt I'll ever change my mind (I've thought this since I was 16). As someone who paid a **** ton of money to have an abortion done, I like to believe it's a sign that ME DON'T WANT KIDS and I SHOULD be given this option. In some states, you have to have a certain about of children before they will ever suggest/talk to you about sterilization. It's annoying to KNOW that I have to go through turmoil before a doctor/surgeon/physician can take me seriously on this idea.

At the facility I went to, (for my previous BC and procedure) they were informative but it seems from this OB/GYN she was shocked at what I was telling her and she began to feel bad for me. And I felt uneducated, and it was hard to tell if she got annoyed (because I asked her to explain all forms of BC which the other facility didn't do) or something else.

So my questions are, do you use a BC? Did your OB/GYN seem annoyed by your questions? What are your opinions on sterilization? Do you think she should have talked to me about it anyways?

If you can't be mature, please don't comment.

I don't understand what to do​

You push me and pull me
But don't tell me what to do

I look around, I'm feelin blue
You ask me what's wrong
I just say it's the flu

You've never understood me
Saying it's all in my head
It's not real!

I cant take it anymore
I want this to stop
I'm tired of feeling blue
