We just went where our general doctor told us to.<br /> DH had his, I was with him the whole time and he was in a ton of pain, and had a complication so he was down and out like.. lay down, unmoving for a week<br /> so just make sure you know where you are going </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675651 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 04:11:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2675651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good thread. DH just gave me the go ahead to get him scheduled. I need to find a good weekend. Feb and march are filling up already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675630 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 01:01:10 +0000 sarac 2675630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had a few sore days, stayed off his bike for a week, and then way totally healed. Never any severe pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675622 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 00:15:48 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2675622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is all good to hear. I react pretty badly to hormonal BC so when we're done for sure I think this is the route we plan to go down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675621 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 00:12:42 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2675621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got his done last month. It was super quick. He used ice packs for the rest of the day and complained a lot about how sitting in the glider was uncomfortable, but afterwards admitted that it wasn't really painful at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675239 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 12:11:45 +0000 erinbaderin 2675239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super easy. The procedure took about 15 minutes. I went to get him only because they wouldn't let him drive if he took the Ativan they offered him and he was a bit nervous. After the procedure he took two Advil, spent the afternoon sitting on the couch with a bag of peas on his junk, and was fine the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675184 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 11:02:10 +0000 megjay18 2675184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>super easy. he texted me during the procedure, haha. and then he drove home. i think i was supposed to drive, but he got in the drivers seat out of habit and we didn't realize until we were home. i don't recall him complaining about recovery at all and usually he's super whiney. maybe he knew better after i went through two c-sections...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675133 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 10:02:36 +0000 cascademom 2675133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're hoping to get it done this year. The recovery's easy from what I hear. It sounds a lot easier than my sinus surgery recovery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2675128 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:59:42 +0000 JennyD 2675128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: seriously NOT a big deal. The place he went to was a specialized vasectomy clinic. He went for the consult and got a bunch of info. Then his appointment was a week or so later, first thing in the morning. I got a text from him at his appointment time (beginning of appointment) saying they were all done already. They sent him home with a little cooler and ice packs and tylenol and advil and a BOOKLET of instructions! Seriously, I birthed a child and got less follow up support. 🙄</p> <p>A lot of our friends have had it done. Telling FH how many of our friends and my coworkers had it done really helped him to get over whatever his issue was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2674825 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:01:24 +0000 travellingbee 2674825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: that's good to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2674763 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 20:16:06 +0000 JennyD 2674763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy peasy. He even admitted it wasn't nearly as bad as he thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dh-had-a-vasectomy#post-2674090 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 20:00:00 +0000 travellingbee 2674090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was his recovery like? DH is thinking of doing it this spring. </p>
