Hi Sherie, thanks for your reply. Vasectomy is a simpler operation (quicker recovery etc.) than tubal ligation, which is the main reason we're thinking of going that way. I think the main reason I am still a little unsure is that I've heard of an option that sounds way better (a non-hormonal injection into DH's tubes to stop sperm getting through, lasts up to 10 years but is easily reversible sooner), but it's not available yet and doesn't look like it will be in Australia any time soon
