I am 30 and recently married. I have been seeing WHNP Jill Lambert for some time, so the practice was aware that I did not want children. When I initially talked about sterilization with Lambert, the only pushback I got was that an IUD is a less invasive procedure IF I wanted to think about surgery a little longer (but not that I needed to). I returned four months later (post-Roe leak) to meet with Scholten and she approved me immediately—didn’t need to say any of my schpeal. She did make a strange comment about how you never know someone’s reasons “you could be bipolar!” (Which I am) which rubbed me the wrong way but I believe was said in good spirit. She said she has performed bI-slaps on women as young as 21.
