I feel like it's only fair since we're the ones who go through pregnancy and birth. It's his turn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924711 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 16:30:47 +0000 coopsmama 1924711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Sounds like my husband. He doesn't want to get a vasectomy because of the procedure, but I feel like it's less invasive than a tubal! </p> <p>We're probably not done, but when we are, I really hope DH will consider the old snip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924398 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:13:59 +0000 wonderstruck 1924398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure we're done....DH is 100% sure, but he's the one who is balking about getting a vasectomy, basically because he's just being scared of the procedure. I've basically told him that after two hellish pregnancies and c-sections, I've done my part and the birth control is on him, so until he's ready to get a vasectomy we'll be using condoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924312 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:42:34 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1924312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got a vasectomy right away after DS was born, but we do have some embryos still, so it doesn't totally close the door. And I haven't had the heart to stop paying for the embryo storage : /. Permanent BC is definitely nice though! I never have to worry about BC or pregnancy every again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924249 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:19:23 +0000 autumnlove 1924249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants to get it in 5 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924242 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:17:37 +0000 Mamaof2 1924242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: It only took a few minutes to snip the tubes and she was done.</p> <p>Nope I didn't/don't feel any different </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924230 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:12:03 +0000 Aimed 1924230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: If we have a #2, I will most likely be getting this done. If you don't mind me asking, did it prolong your C-Section by much and do you feel any different afterwards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924201 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:00:27 +0000 littlebug 1924201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: Same. Except I think it's more like I'm 99%, Hubs is about 70%. So we're waiting a bit longer to see if I really think I'm done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1924189 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 11:56:44 +0000 Mommy Finger 1924189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After we have our 2nd, we're done. DH is already talking about making sure that when he gets snipped, he plans it around March Madness so he can spend the entire weekend watching basketball. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1923671 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 07:05:14 +0000 Mamaof2 1923671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my friend's DH's had vasectomies </p> <p>I had a c/s and so I had a tubal - we knew we were done and it was such a relief knowing I wouldnt need BCP or condoms ever again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1923233 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:15:01 +0000 HabesBabe 1923233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs has a consultation on December 2 ;)</p> <p>We knew we would be done after having 2, so we got some recs from our doctors and he found one he "liked" after researching online. Unfortunately, his first opening for a consult is 1+ month away! I was on the mini-pill, but I am off it now because we're too exhausted to bone, anyway. Whomp whomp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1923224 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:03:54 +0000 MrsKMM 1923224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still working on LO#1, but I can at least share what my parents did.<br /> My mom was on bc and unexpectedly got pregnant with my brother. They weren't really in a financial position to have a new baby in the house, and were not trying to have a baby, so to avoid any future surprises they opted to have my stepdad get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1923207 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:52:53 +0000 Ra 1923207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are 99% sure we are one and done. We are going to wait until Brady is three. If we still feel the same, DH will get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/permanent-birth-control-1#post-1922959 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:45:00 +0000 prettylizy 1922959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF's hubby just had a vasectomy this week and it's got me thinking more and more about our family taking the final steps to closing the factory.<br /> DD1 is 2.5, DD2 is 7 months and we're done. Totally done. Don't want anymore, until we talk about DH getting the big V and then I chicken out!! I have an IUD right now so we're good for quite a few years but I just can't pull the trigger. </p> <p>How/when did you know it was time. What measures did you take? </p>
