My cousin has been trying to get pregnant for years. She has had 14 miscarriages to date. She has seen a bunch of doctors and have had every possible test done. Nobody has any clue why she can't carry to term. Recently, she decided that her new husband (she has been married twice before) wasn't really ready for kids since he refuses to get a job. With this decided, she went to her doctor (who she has been with for years) to see about getting her tubes tied. 

The idiot refused to do the procedure. He said that "no doctor will do a tubal unless you have at least 3 kids already." (She's found this to be true and is still looking for one who will do the procedure.) Now, maybe it's just me, but I would think 14 miscarriages might equal 3 kids. Especially since she has gotten pregnant quite a few times while on birth control. Instead, he's saying that she just has to continue having miscarriages...something that is not good for either her mental or physical health!
