Well, judging by your siggy, you are still pretty young. You never know if maybe 10 years from now you will meet the man of your dreams, get married, and decide that you want more children. Is it possible for you to go on birth control for the next 5-10 years just to be really sure you are done?

ITA with Jillian, There are so many good books on the subject, I used it for years too and it was only when X decided (I knew all along) that we should become pregnant that we did (the first time) DS was an 'oops' but i wasn't paying attention to my cycle. I would still always use condoms if you are that fertile. I think it is hard to reverse a tubal ligation.
You are so young to make such a final decision, I've had friends choose to have babies in their 40s (not that you will) but it is nice to have the choice

It might sound old fashioned but what about the above and
abstinence. That's worked pretty well for me. My Mom taught
me about my cycles when I was in my teens. I was sexually
active for 10 years before I conceived dd. In a couple of
monogamous relationships, and never used birth control beyond
condoms (if fertile).
I knew better when I conceived dd, knew I was fertile, but it
was one of those drunk love what the heck go for it moments.
Which was the best oops I ever made.
I am far more afraid of contracting a disease than getting pregnant.
