BC -> Sterilization-> Period?

Side-effects

Hi! New to the sub but not new to the idea of not wanting kids or being worried about the current administration in the US!

I’ve been more and more interested in getting sterilized and was curious if anyone has a similar BC history as me (very short) and could let me know how their sterilization went!

Im 27F and have been on the BC pill since I was 21ish. I’ve never had issues with the pill, that I’ve noticed at least. My top fav benefit of it (other than not getting pregnant:) is that it lightened my period SO much.

I’m worried about how my body will react coming off BC and then getting the surgery. In the long run, it’s worth it I feel. But I haaaaaaate have a period in general so much… I know that sounds trivial. I’ve also heard people complain about acne and such after getting off.

How was your period affected? Symptoms, flow, consistency etc? Does it typically get worse or better or the same

Sorry if this has been answered many time before!
