Straightforward

I’ve spent enough time on this site reading others stories, I thought I’d contribute myself. I had my vasectomy done almost exactly a week ago and have no regrets. I am 33 and my wife and I have 2 children. We decided that is enough. The only birth control we’ve ever used is condoms and … Continue reading

As we’ll both be forty in about 2 weeks, and have two kids aged 3 and 1, we both were sure we didn’t want any more kids. We always just wanted two, and we’ve got a boy and a girl. My wife was perfectly happy taking the pill, as it keeps her periods down to … Continue reading

Years ago, I swam with a group of friends at a public pool. The facilities were (and probably still are) very nice. Besides the pool, we had a whirlpool, and both men’s and women’s steam rooms. Because we frequented this pool so often, we were friends with all the staff and especially the lifeguards. One … Continue reading

I had my consult in early December, and scheduled my procedure for January 8th. The doctor that I used gave me the option of having the procedure done upstairs in his office with PO Valium as a mild sedative or I could have it done downstairs with IV conscious sedation. (I.E. Versed, and Morphine). I … Continue reading

I am writing this hoping it will put some nerves at ease. I had my consultation visit on November 18, 2002, with a well-known urologist who specializes in the no-scalpel procedure. He explained the procedure in detail using some diagrams and a model. After several brief questions and an examination of the equipment, I was … Continue reading

After being married for 14 years with one kid (12 years old), my wife and I began talking about permanent birth control solutions. Out of all the options available (the pill, her getting her tubes tied, condoms, etc.. etc..) A Vasectomy was by far the most economical, the safest, the most reliable, etc.. etc. Comparing … Continue reading

Today is the one month and a day anniversary of my vasectomy. I had my second post-vasectomy sample checked yesterday (just coincidence on the timing) and it was sperm free, as was my first one a little over 2 weeks ago! I decided to go ahead and get the vasectomy around early August 2002. I … Continue reading

I just had a vasectomy two days ago. I did a lot of reading and web-surfing beforehand, so I was ready. My doctor insisted that I take 5mg of Valium an hour before the procedure – great advice. I was only mildly agitated beforehand. Not really nervous. The Novocain injection was only mildly uncomfortable. On … Continue reading

Hi, Just a short story about my experience yesterday. Unbeknownst to my old lady (aka the wife), I scheduled a vasectomy. I scheduled the procedure without her knowledge because I figured she didn’t care. After the initial visit and before the actual procedure, I asked her if she could pick me up on the day … Continue reading

I first learned about vasectomy in an article in Prevention Magazine when I was a teenager. The story as about a family who had had their four children two girls and two boys the oldest in their teens and the mother had decided that she did not risk having any more children. She went to … Continue reading

First, I have to say that this site, and the personal experiences listed here, have been a big help to me. The procedure itself was nothing at all, aside from the mental distress and anxiety that I felt that day (and the days leading up to it), it would have been much like an easy … Continue reading

As I found this site very comforting when I was doing research I thought I would relate my experiences for those now considering doing the deed. Some background to start – I am a 38 y/o, recently re-married, an overweight professional who works too much and exercises too little; a normal guy. I recently married … Continue reading
