BC without seeing Dr.?

Yeah he doesn't sound like the best doctor, hopefully you will be able to quickly find someone much better.

** I have been thinking about getting my tubes tied but hubby and I had wanted more children. The decision is still up in the air.
*** I NEVER disclosed to the doctor that I was considering a tubal.

In the UK, most Obs/Gyn will suggest the Mirena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirena) rather than sterilisation for women. It's apparently just as effective, and can be reversed far more easily! (Did you know that some women have still gotten pregnant despite having a sterilisation! That must be awkward!) I think it lasts about 5 years before needing replaced. But whatever you decide to do, find a doctor who is happy to go through all the choices with you so you can make an informed choice. There is a huge amount of contraception available and I'm sure you'll find something that will fulfil your needs.

Disclaimer: I am merely a medical student. Find yourself an excellent doctor.

Sorry for the slight off-topic, but I just wanted to throw out there that vasectomies are not 100% failproof/permanent, either. I have a good friend whose father had a vasectomy and 10 years later, his wife got pregnant (and yes, the baby was his.) So yeah...I know it is extremely rare, but I will be forever paranoid now and even if my husband had a vasectomy, we would probably still use some other form of BC.
