From early on in my wife’s third pregnancy we began to discuss whether or not we wanted to have any more children.

Destiny has arrived! While I find it hard to believe, my vasectomy is 36 hours old and I’m feeling great. I’m an open-ended, NSV patient in Kansas, USA. The only sign of my procedure is slight swelling the size of a quarter at the incision site, and a bruise the size of a dime on … Continue reading
This is my sad tale of woe. However, the most sympathy I’ve ever received is, “Sucks to be you!” For many years growing up, I never gave much thought to the idea of parenthood. Even when discussing it with friends at an early age (e.g. 12, 13, 14) most of them said they wanted two … Continue reading
I am writing this from Louisiana, USA, and just want to first say I got a lot out of your site. It gave me a lot of information other sites did not. While most other sites on this subject give a lot of numbers and clinical stuff, your site provided also a human perspective, how … Continue reading

This story (or article, or diary, or whatever you want to call it) chronicles my experiences with a vasectomy performed under a general. There are many debates with respect to whether or not a general is easier. For me, I believe a general may have been the right choice. Background I’m a 24 going on … Continue reading
Well, having heard so many horror stories about the procedure on the forum, I would like to report an absolutely painless case, if there’s any such thing.

Hi all. Like many of the other contributors to this page, I thought I’d share my experience so that any of you who are considering vasectomy might breathe a bit easier.
