I'm 22 n have antiphospholipid syndrome. what would be a good birth control besides iud? could i get my tubes tied? i'm positive i don't want kids.

See below: Your options are limited to iuds and condoms, but to have your tubes tied at such an early age is an extreme option and while they can be untied, you might put yourself at risk for scaring that reduces fertility. While this maybe cliche, time can change your mind about children and you may want them ten years down the road. Have a long talk with gyn about this.
