Hadn't had to

Hi,

If me and another person are talking about the past and I say
" I did [something] , so that I hadn't had to do it again" , to mean that I did something so that I wouldn't have to do something else again but it all has already happened in the past ? Would it be the correct choice of verb tenses?

Thanks!

MustAsk Would it be the correct choice of verb tenses? No. The past perfect does not make sense in your sentence.
