I (23F) am firmly in the no-babies camp. There was a time when I thought I might, but after battling anorexia, nearly dying, and fighting for my own life, I have come to the unmistakable conclusion that having children would never, ever be a good for my mental health or a responsible thing to do. I am also almost certainly infertile due to my eating disorder, so it's a pretty moot point.

I did, however, start getting my period again for the first time in years about 8 months ago. And good god, it is hell. The cramps are debilitating and the bleeding is unmanageable. On the bright side, I suppose, it only lasts about 3 days.

Regular hormonal BC isn't an option for me due to chronic migraines and other complications of my eating disorder. I have tried nexplanon as well and that was a disaster. I am extremely hesitant to try an IUD.

Considering that I don't want kids and probably can't have them anyway, I am certain that I want to go for permanent BC. I have done some research on my own-have not discussed with my doc yet-and endometrial ablation sounds like an ideal solution: no babies, no periods, problems solved.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice? Am I missing a piece of the puzzle?

I am desperate and miserable.
