Vasectomy--Can you share your experience and give me courage?


Question:
From what I know, the reversal procedure costs money and may fail--just like any surgery. To help me make the decision on vasectomy, please share your experience.

Do you know a childless man who has changed his mind and suddenly wanted to have kids only after the age of 35? If so, how did it happen? What potentially caused him to change his mind?

Do you know a web site that I can compare the track records of various doctors who performed vasectomy with fewest percentage of complications?

Thanks in advance.

Answers:
My ex got a vasectomy after we discovered I had horrible reactions to most female contraceptives. We had been together 2 years and were sure that we didn't want kids. The procedure went well, and he was all healed up and 'ready to go' within a few days, although the doctor said he should wait a month. Long story short- we broke up, 2.5 years after the surgery, and the fact of the matter is his biggest regret is getting it done- who knows if he will find some gal who just absolutely wants kids? IMO, I think he shouldn't have gotten it done, if he wasn't 100% certain that he never ever wanted kids, regardless of his partner (and I thought he was, or I wouldn't have let him do it) because as you say, the reversal is not guaranteed and is expensive. But, I guess time will only tell how things go in his life. not my business anymore.

The only person who should decide this is YOU. I had it done after deciding I was happy with the children I have. I've had no regrets at all, but then I was quite sure of myself. I'm divorced now, but still wouldn't go back and undo the procedure. I'm happy to be focused on the children I have and in trying to teach them how to live a good life.rather than wanting more children now.
No matter what you choose though, consider a vasectomy to be FINAL. If you've got any doubts.then wait.
BTW.you'll have a bit of cramping for a few days, but it's no big deal. It's sort of like a stomach cramp.only lower.
