Hi Heavenly,

Thank you for your reply.

DH is reluctant to have the Vasectomy re-done, which would involve it being done surgically, under general - whereas the first time it was done by the GP under local.

We really do have NO desire to have any more babies, as I am highly superstitious, and 5 is a number that I couldn't do.....so it would be 2 + more babies at least.....which we could NEVER do. lol!

The Mirena? IUD/IUCD (intrauterine contraceptive device), also known as an intra-uterine system, is a small plastic device that is fitted into the uterus within a coupleof minutes by a trained doctor and can stay in place for up to five years. It differs from other IUDs as it gradually releases the hormone levonorgestrel, a progesterone-like hormone, into the uterus to prevent pregnancy
I am desperately wanting to make the 'Right' decision, as I have read some pretty hair-raising accounts of problems that some women have had with Tubal Ligation.

By the way, I LOVE your son's name 'Hunter'. It is my number 1 fav name if I have a boy, but I am reluctant to use it because our previous son is called Archer....and I fear that it sounds like a bit of a joke with sons named Archer & Hunter.

Thanks again!
