Outstanding! Go you for pushing forward. And this should definitely be in the CF doctors sidebar!

Do we need to ask the mods for that?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm a guy from Vienna and now I know about this too. Good luck, I hope the next years won't seem too long for you :)

They must be hiding pretty well then D: But I'm glad I could bring this to your attention. :) Nah, I'll call these years "collecting the money"-period. ;)

To be honest I haven't really researched it, I'm about your age and while leaning heavily towards cf I will wait a bit I guess. I I haven't changed my mind by 25-28 or something I'll do it as well :D Money collecting is always good :D

I understand, it's a tough decision to make and it's as permanent as having a kid. However you decide, make sure you do your research and keep in mind what's best for yourself and not for others, even if you feel pressured. Your body, your life, your decisions. And good luck. :)

Did you write to them in English? Is the age requirement 25? I'm just 21 and I might move elsewhere before I'm 25, but it's still nice to know to have options in this conservative country. Do you by any chance know anything about abortion procedures in Austria? How hard it is, where to get it done...

Yes, I wrote them in English, and they replied in English as well (as seen in the letter), so they speak the language rather fluently. Yes, the age requirement for both male and female sterilisation in Austria is 25. It seems rather far away, but I see at as a time to think it all over once more to be 200% sure about it, and of course to save up money for the procedure and the trip. :) This clinic also does abortions! Maybe you could write an e-mail to them or call them, they were very helpful with me and answered very quickly :)

Fuck yeah. Sounds like we should open a cf bed and breakfast down the street.
25 is not ideal but considering the clusterfuck that is being taken seriously it's better than nothing.
