hi everyone
dh and i have just had our second child and are both 100% satisfied that our family is complete and do not want anymore children. we decided he would go for a vasectomy in the next few months. when we have told some people of our decision however, they have acted like we are crazy or stupid, and have said that we would regret it. we are both 32 years old...
now i'm having second thoughts...wdyt..is it too drastic a measure to take?
how rude that people would make those comments, what your and your partner decide has got nothing to do with anyone else!!!
arent vasectomys reversable anyway???
We had the same reaction from people as well. Particurlarly DH's family. Don't listen to them! It's a decision you and your DH make together which doesn't concern anyone else.
We have made the same decision after having 2 and thankfully no-one has said anything against it, we are on the other side of 35 now though. A couple of my friends DH's have had it done, one after 2 kids and the other after only 1. No regrets from them so far.
The only person that has any sway over the actual procedure being done is the surgeon. No one else's opinion matters so there really is nothing anyone can say to stop it except for the 3 people that matter in the process of getting it done. You DH and The Surgeon. What's the bet none of the people saying something about him getting the snip would think twice if you said you were getting your tubes tied
We had decided that after having two children, 1 boy and 1 girl, our family was also complete back in 2002 when we were only 25 and had gotten rid of everything baby related. We didn't do anything "permanent" and our surprise is now 5 weeks old.
We wouldn't change him for the world, he is one of the best things that has happened to our family but he will definately be the last.
My husband is having his vasectomy in 3 weeks and then we won't have to expect the unexpected again. Our Dr advised us to regard the vasectomy as irreversable because the way he does it (?? cuts and ties off) doesn'thave a very good chance of reversal. Our Dr also advised us that he sends the tubes off to the lab to make sure he cut the right ones and that we have to have everything checked three months later to make sure there are no swimmers and that there are only the two tubes as sometimes there are more (weird).
As long as you are happy with what you have decided then other opinions shouldn't alter your decision - you have to live with it nobody else.
