I too want to know other peoples opinions. No plans for anything permanent at the moment as DD is only 6mos.
We are going to TTC at the end of the year, and then thats it. No more babies. I don't want DP to go through getting a vasectomy as he's still young (turning 25 at the end of the year) so he won't be able to get it done. I know quite a few people who have had issues after a vas. My dad included, he needed 2 follow up surgeries and still gets alot of pain 10 years later. Another guy actually lost a testicle after having a vas.
Too much risk for my DP to go through.
I'm going to get my tubes tied, but I'm only 19 at the moment, with a bub planned for next year some time hopefully. No-one will do it til I'm at least 30.
So there's 10 years that I'll have to do something. The Pill doesn't agree with me. I don't like the idea of the Mirena or Implanon.
