It’s been just over a day since I’ve had my vasectomy and I thought I’d relate my story. I and my wife decided a vasectomy was the best long-term choice for us. We went to an ob/gyn and she said that there would be a 10-20% chance that if we had a baby it would … Continue reading

I am 33 years old with 2 kids, living in Colorado. My wife has had type 1 diabetes for 25 years, so from a contraception standpoint we’ve had difficulty finding a permanent solution: Insulin is a hormone, and birth control pills use hormones to regulate her system. Add to that a thyroid problem, and it … Continue reading

I am 49 years old and been married for 25 years. My no-scalpel open-ended Vasectomy went well. Friday at 10:45 I was taken to the office by Pam after taking 2mg of Xanax (The good stuff). Dr. DeShazo is incredibly sensitive to a guy’s modesty. He asked the nurse to step out of the room … Continue reading

My story begins about three years ago. It was the first time I had seriously thought about a vasectomy. Birth control had always been my sole responsibility (I’m 38), and now that our children were older and we did not plan on it anymore, I thought my wife would be very supportive. I was wrong. … Continue reading

Here is my NSV story. Statistics first. 35 years of age, 2 children (ages 6 and 4.5), married 8 plus years, thought about it for about 5 years. Finally, had it done in August 2000. Wish that I would have had it done right after the birth of a second child. In my family, all … Continue reading

I found this site very helpful in the weeks leading up to my vasectomy and, now that the monkey is finally off my back, I thought should submit my own experience. With the birth of our third child, last year my wife and I agreed that our family was complete. We did not want to … Continue reading

Its 11:30 am the day after, First of all, I will admit I was extremely nervous yesterday. My appointment was at 2:15 pm yesterday, felt pretty cocky when I got there. The waiting room was full, with each a nurse entered the waiting room to call a patient’s name my nerves got worse. I just … Continue reading

The most surprising thing is that I felt/feel only minimal pain. Background Healthy 40-year-old British Chinese with three children, all sons, currently aged 3.5 months, 5 years, and 10 years old. The third child came as a BIG, unexpected surprise/shock. Although he’s a lovely, handsome boy, we really do not want a fourth child! It … Continue reading

I had it done yesterday, so I’m writing while all the memories are still fresh. I had been to a few websites about vasectomies, so I knew what to expect. I had chosen NSV pretty early on and went to a Dr. that I was sure did it. As it turned out, by luck, the … Continue reading

Thanks to those who’ve told their story. I appreciated reading them. I’m 30 years old, married with two children. We live in New York, USA. My wife and I considered our family complete and so we did our homework on various permanent birth control methods. We chose vasectomy. Here’s my story My wife and I … Continue reading

First I had my vasectomy on March 24, 2000. After my wife and myself decided that we only wanted one child, but now have two, it was time to do something about a permanent form of birth control (the pill was not an option, it made the wife irritable and hard to live with…hehe). I, … Continue reading

I got snipped on March 23rd, 2000 (Ten days ago). I thought I would share my personal experience to other guys out there who are considering it. Why I did it I planned on having 2 kids, I now have 3. I was using condoms successfully for my entire 10-year marriage. One day I bought … Continue reading
