D. "My monthly menstrual period will be shorter."

{{Correct Ans:- B. "Ovulation will remain the same."

Ovulation (egg release from the ovaries) will remain the same. Tubal ligation also

known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization is a type of permanent birth

control. During tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or blocked to

permanently prevent pregnancy. Tubal ligation prevents an egg from traveling from

the ovaries through the fallopian tubes and blocks sperm from traveling up the

fallopian tubes to the egg. The procedure doesn't affect your menstrual cycle it just

prevents fertilization.
