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

Well, I had the procedure done this past Monday and I was surprised at the very little pain that I experienced just shut my eyes and listened to the great music that was so soothing. The Doctor had a bit of trouble doing the left vas and did not want to make another hole. It … 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 a positive experience and wanted to post the details since you seem to hear more from those who have had problems. My way of thanking all those who did post their positive … 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 am 34, my wife is 33. We have been married for 13 years. We have one son, 3, and another son on the way. As a result of new genetic screening available for this pregnancy, we found out that both my wife and I are cystic fibrosis carriers. Our son isn’t affected, but we’re … Continue reading
