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
In redoing the math it was about 33 years ago, approximately 1970. Not much to say. We had two boys. My wife became pregnant within a month or so of her stopping the pill both times. We didn’t want a house full of rug rats (I came from a family of 9 kids). The pill … Continue reading

I have been looking and gathering information about the vasectomy procedure, and made the decision to go through with it. My decision to get the “snip” had several reasons hooked to it: I didn’t want my wife to have her tubes tied. It would have been more painful for her to have that procedure done … Continue reading
I had the most unexpected experience today. Today I had my consultation, and the doctor convinced me not to have the vasectomy. The doctor (name on request) is a urologist at Stanford Hospital, who “has extensive experience in performing complex vasectomy reconstructions, sperm retrieval techniques and microsurgical varicocelectomies” according to a webpage describing him. He … Continue reading
5th June After the eve of operation ‘Are you/we sure about this?’ discussion with the wife I arrive at the hospital. Two vasectomies scheduled for that day but I’m the only one who shows up. I’m starting to get more nervous about the op. My mood deteriorates further after contact with a particularly patronizing nurse … Continue reading
Here is my story. It may be just beginning. I am 39 years old and have three children. My wife has had a difficult time birthing them and three is plenty. My wife was long convinced that vasectomy was the way to go. After doing a little research and hearing from co-workers about it, it … Continue reading
Day of Surgery I had mine done a little over 2 weeks now. I think that the stories from others and the unknown of the operation were the worst part. To tell you the truth, I woke up in the morning thinking about how much pain I would be in. It was performed at the … Continue reading
My wife and I have a four-year-old son and were expecting a daughter in March. Knowing that we would have a completed family, I decided that I would volunteer for the big snip. I think my wife was and is more afraid than I am. She kept asking me, “Are you sure?”. My primary fears … Continue reading
Well, I’m now one week post-vasectomy. I thought I would give you all a full update. For review, I did a lot of research and reading online, and at first was totally paranoid about getting a vasectomy, something my wife had wanted me to get for a few years, but I never seemed to get … 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

After my wife and I decided that we definitely did not want any more children I looked up vasectomy in our Family Health encyclopedia – the word “sterilization” being enough to put me off. Anyway, after a while, I took the plunge and via my GP was referred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. … Continue reading
I had my vasectomy about 3 weeks ago. It took awhile to reach the final decision to go and get snipped. Both me and my wife would have loved to have had another child (we have 1). But due health reasons it was too risky for my wife to carry another child. So we accepted … Continue reading
