DH is 27 and got his vasectomy done a few weeks ago. </p> <p>Even after DS I had 0 baby fever but we knew we wanted 2 close together so we went for it. Now DD is here and we have one of each I know we made the right decision for us. The thought of having to go through another pregnancy and labour and raising another child makes me sick to the stomach lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696774 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 20:21:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 696774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were 99% sure we were one and done going in. LO will be 10 months in a few days and I have had NO baby fever at all; neither has he. I got a mirena put back in, so now we are in no rush, but we've talked about deciding at either LO being 1 year or 2 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696715 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 19:30:02 +0000 mamabolt 696715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like some PP, I plan on getting another Mirena after LO#2. After that expires if we feel like we are definitely done then it will be snip snip time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696559 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:05:58 +0000 sunshineandsushi 696559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: my DH came up with the idea!</p> <p>I think I want to keep our options open juuust in case because we had twins. Two kids, but I only got to experience one pregnancy! But, I'm fairly certain we're done. DH is pretty adamant that we are for sure done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696517 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:12:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 696517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Gotcha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696504 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:00:21 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 696504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: changed that darn word to "riskier" and by preference I guess I mean: I prefer not to worry about any added risks involved. That's how I should have best explained that thought process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696497 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:48:10 +0000 StbHisMrs 696497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh scheduled his 1 year after our first together lo was born, making us a family 6, then I got pregnant and they wouldn't do his procedure. It's scheduled for September of this year, we're due in August </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696484 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:38:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 696484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I wouldn't have batted an eyelash at preference :) It was just the word "dangerous"... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696479 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:36:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 696479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: just a preference! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696432 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:03:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 696432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: It is not dangerous for a 38 year old to be pregnant! That's when I had my first :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696424 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:57:57 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 696424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're doing it only when I get to a maternal age in which it would be both riskier for me to get pregnant (IMO) and tedious to take BC. So, I'd say 34 for me, personally. DH would probably say 38 is more reasonable of an age. I personally do not want to be pregnant after 34 though.. I feel like it would be physically too hard ( I had my first at 24, so I would compare). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696422 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:57:48 +0000 Mrs. Twine 696422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have waited a full year and we're sure we're done. We're waiting for him to move onto the family insurance plan and then schedule it. We are just very content at two and feel like it'll be easier to travel and help pay for college with fewer kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696418 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:54:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 696418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: that's exactly our plan! we just had #2, and while i feel pretty sure we're done, we still want to leave the door open for a couple more years juuuuust in case we change our minds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696415 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:53:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 696415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probably 4-5 years for now, when we're absolutely sure we want to be done. we'll both be 34. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696381 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:24:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 696381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'll probably do it sometime in the 6 week wait after I have #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696376 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:17:07 +0000 immabeetoo 696376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably while I'm in the hospital with baby2 haha, we both thought we only wanted one bio baby and now weve changed our mind since he's here but he said no more after number two! Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696349 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:54:00 +0000 prettylizy 696349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: there is a class you have to take? That's interesting, what does it cover? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696344 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:47:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 696344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have LOs yet, but probably a year or 2 after we think we are done. I hate being on BC so it will def be a good option for us I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696323 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:27:24 +0000 illumina 696323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just asked DH if he'll get a vasectomy (bearing in mind we haven't got any LO's yet... I meant in the future obviously!) he's now looking at me like I'm crazy, so I don't think it's going to happen... at least not for a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696321 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:25:55 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 696321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to do it pretty quickly after. He would have already done it except he has to take a class first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696277 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:50:41 +0000 Bao 696277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we would wait a bit after we think we are done just in case. Maybe a year after our last LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696274 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:49:10 +0000 Smurfette 696274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After we have #2, within a year of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696271 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:47:37 +0000 loveisstrange 696271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @prettylizy: I'll probably get another Mirena after #2 and then he'll do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696264 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:45:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 696264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we end up having a #2 he'll probably get it when I'm pregnant or shortly thereafter. We're still in the air about a second but we're sure we don't want more than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696259 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:42:19 +0000 littlek 696259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will probably do something similar to @prettylizy after #2. I'm pretty positive we don't want 3 LOs but I want to wait awhile before making a final decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696200 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:02:25 +0000 prettylizy 696200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to get another Mirena after #2 and then we'll probably wait a few years JUUUUUST in case. Less than 5 years after #2 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-planning-to-when-willdid-dh-get-a-vasectomy#post-696192 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:57:30 +0000 sunshineandsushi 696192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those whose DHs plan to get a vasectomy when your family is complete, how long after your last child did you wait? </p> <p>We're planning for DH to get one since we always planned to be two and through, but are holding off for now on the off chance that we change our minds! Not sure how long we'll plan to wait. </p>
