Childfree

I have been lurking in here for the last two weeks and yesterday was the big day for me. I’m 31 years old with no kids but two abortions (to my horror and relief) behind me. I would have supported the two kids as part of my ‘responsibility’ but was quite relieved when my partner … Continue reading

During the spring of 2003, my wife of then 14 years began to bring up the subject of a vasectomy. At age 37 she was beginning to worry about the possible complications that could result from a birth-control “accident.” Although she was primarily thinking about medical complications, at age 44 I was concerned a bit … Continue reading

Hi, I thought I’d contribute my story for the website. Thanks for putting together a great resource. I’ve been married since 2002 and lived with my partner for a few years before that. (I’m now 31 and she’s 30). We’ve talked about the kids’ thing but neither of us is keen. Also, we both have … Continue reading

Age 39, married for 20 years (at time of the vasectomy), no children. My SO had decided long ago (before we married – and yes, despite our age at that time we had discussed this beforehand) that she didn’t want any children. I didn’t have any particular leanings one way or the other and was … Continue reading

Greetings everyone! A few individuals reading the forums might recall messages posted by me a few months ago, inquiring about urologists that conduct inexpensive, no-scalpel vasectomies in Los Angeles. I was even more interested in the no-needle anesthetic (a hypospray “jet” injection where the xylocaine is administered through the skin). In one of my posts, … Continue reading

I’m writing this 23 days post-op. We are a child-free couple 37 years old and have been together for 18 years and married for 7. My choice to get a vasectomy is one of her needing to get off the pill due to health reasons and she took care of the birth control for 17 … Continue reading

Since I gained so much information from the site, I’d like to contribute my story. It’s pretty detailed and a little long, but I appreciated details in the other guys’ stories, so I included them. I’m 27 and child-free. The Decision I’ve known for years that I don’t want kids. By my mid-twenties, the idea … Continue reading

Having been married for 13 years and childless and getting ready to turn 40 my wife and I made the decision that one of us had to do something to take the anxiety out of maybe getting pregnant. I brought having a vasectomy because it was easier for me to go through sterilization than to … Continue reading

I had a vasectomy 23 years ago and it’s the best thing we have ever done! After reviewing a few of the stories here, we thought I should provide comments on my experience to calm the fears of any who might be contemplating this procedure. We decided to have a vasectomy before we got married. That … Continue reading

Had my vasectomy performed yesterday. No stitches, very gentle, all in all. What goes on inside your head is far worse than the actual experience, at least up to this point – I haven’t even used all that much ice, and there’s very little swelling or discomfort. I am taking it quite easy, though. For … Continue reading

Hi, there I am Gary from Northumberland in the UK. Just had mine done on the 18th of March 2002. I had thought about it for a long time “even though” everybody you know seems to be saying “So when are you going to have some kids”! I was so surprised how easy the whole … Continue reading
