It lasts for about 10 years (I've had it for 4 months now), so I'll keep it in until then (or whenever I have to have it taken out if I have a medical reason for it having to be removed), and then DH will get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785458 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:43:58 +0000 Bao 1785458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785451 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:41:41 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1785451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: that sucks! Although the rate was 19/1000 v 16/1000 but still! Dh got a vasectomy about a year ago. They used a laser and healing was quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785440 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:35:12 +0000 Rubies 1785440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're totally done and BCP for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785437 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:34:02 +0000 Mamaof2 1785437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I was told that it might be a little more difficult than recovering from my 1st c/s but actually it was easier. It took about 3 extra minutes for her to cut my tubes after I delivered DD.</p> <p>No side effects at all!</p> <p>Its soooo nice not worrying about contraceptives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785436 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:32:41 +0000 swurlygurl 1785436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Oh man!! We have probably another 2 years or so until that's a problem, so hopefully there are more studies done on that in the meantime. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785429 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:29:56 +0000 Freckles 1785429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: @mrsjyw: @littlek: @swurlygurl: @yoursilverlining: We have been thinking about the vasectomy route but recently read an article about the link between vasectomies and lethal forms of prostate cancer. (<a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/07/17/a-vasectomy-may-increase-prostate-cancer-risk/" rel="nofollow">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/07/17/a-vasectomy-may-increase-prostate-cancer-risk/</a>) It's very new data and not sure how credible it is, but i guess we'll have to wait and see after #2 comes!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: How was the recovery? Any side effects since? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785304 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:41:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 1785304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be horrified and crying (per your post) ;) if I found out I was pregnant now and I have an IUD. My husband was planning on a vasectomy, but making such a permanent decision makes me nervous. By the time this IUD expires, he will be in his 50's though, so the chance of more babies will be unlikely, and he'll get it done then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785289 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:32:59 +0000 littlek 1785289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785288 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:32:19 +0000 Amelieisme 1785288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to get an IUD, but my OB couldn't place it (something about my cervix being curved). SO i'm stuck on BCP's. I am 4 mo PP and terrified I'm going to end up pregnant. I am horrible at taking the pill :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785234 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:02:44 +0000 swurlygurl 1785234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still have another kid to go, but DH will be getting a vasectomy. UNLESS my last pregnancy ends in a C-Section, then I will get a tubal, but I don't foresee that happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785163 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:40:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1785163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not there yet, but DH will get a vasectomy once we're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-done-with-having-kids-whats-your-current-form-of-birth-control#post-1785157 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:38:29 +0000 lamariniere 1785157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IUD.
