And after further testing they determined it was successful and he just took extra long to clean out. I'm 17 weeks pregnant now and the shock has finally worn off. :wink: : </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2468946 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 20:34:09 +0000 Mrs. D 2468946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Checking back in on this vote, and I guess I'm not surprised most families choose him, lol.

Knowing what I know now in terms of when to get pregnant I can use that to prevent pregnancy. Plus we can always go back to condoms- less mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2444124 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:47:18 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2444124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we ever started having kids, we agreed that DH would get a vasectomy when we were done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443963 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:27:27 +0000 HabesBabe 2443963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got a vasectomy when LO2 was about 9 months old. </p> <p>@dcw6411: ahhhhh don't tell me that!

I hear it's very therapeutic for relieving heavy and painful periods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443809 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 17:12:21 +0000 looch 2443809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I spoke to my doctor about uterine ablation last year, it came up when we were discussing heavy periods. He basically said it's not approved as a birth control method, but given what the procedure is, he would be very surprised if anything could live in a uterus that is basically all scar tissue.</p> <p>I am on the fence about it, it's supposedly covered by insurance, maybe when we meet our deductible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443694 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:47:14 +0000 peachykeen 2443694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Ha! That's pretty much exactly how our initial conversation went, although I don't think my DH verbalized his feelings quite as well as yours did :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443693 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:43:30 +0000 BandDmommy 2443693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's getting a vasectomy. We are SOOOOO done! I don't want any chances... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443691 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:42:50 +0000 Finfan 2443691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Good man! I am trying to convince my DH to look at it this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443687 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:38:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 2443687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't talked about it in detail, but I don't think he wants a vasectomy. I suspect we'll just keep on charting. Plus, we're pretty open-ended about how many we want, so it will be a while before either of us would consider doing anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443681 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:17:07 +0000 blackbird 2443681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we'll do anything permanent but I've thought about a uterine ablation if my endo stays bad. Mirena is pretty awesome, so I may just stay with this! Since I need to be on birth control, it seems sorta pointless for DH to do anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443661 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 13:45:55 +0000 looch 2443661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are done, but no permanent measures for either of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443629 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 13:15:37 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2443629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He got snipped. He did it because he said I already went through so much with having the kids that it was his turn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443409 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 06:33:19 +0000 artsyfartsy 2443409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've already decided on DH getting a vasectomy when we're done because it's a more simple procedure, plus my aunt conceived her third child at 41 even though her tubes were tied. Talk about a surprise!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443397 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 04:41:58 +0000 Cherrybee 2443397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should've seen DH's face when I asked him, over breakfast, if he will be having a vasectomy after #2 is born!! He suggested that I take permanent measures instead, to which I replied that his would be a simple procedure yadda yadda.. He went pale and said Id sprung it on him! The conversation kind of ended there....! I don't mind because he's two-and-through and I'm open to the possibility of a third. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443372 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 01:11:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 2443372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>99.9% sure that we will stop at two kids but I don't think we will consider permanent measures. Our current method of BC has been effective when used correctly so I think we are fine with continuing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443345 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 23:41:24 +0000 808love 2443345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! Birth control, condoms, abstinence, God's hands...all of the above! And yes, we are sure we are done!

He's not too keen on the idea but considering what pregnancy/birth is like, he can deal with a little snip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443271 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 21:25:57 +0000 autumnlove 2443271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I considered it but my dr/insurance made it so hard. I had to take a class and have forms signed a few weeks before delivery and LO 3 was born early at 36 weeks.</p> <p>DH wants to get snipped this year or next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443267 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 21:18:13 +0000 avivoca 2443267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the idea of permanent measures, but my husband wants a vasectomy. It's his body, so I won't stop him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443266 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 21:16:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 2443266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the process of setting him up for a vasectomy, and I'm getting an IUD in a week or two. I was given the option for a tubal during my c-section, but I opted against it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443265 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 21:12:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2443265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't know if we're done yet. I find it interesting so many have already made a decision on this even before they're done?! We have not talked about this yet so I'm not sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443261 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 21:00:20 +0000 Blueberry 2443261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't sure yet if we're done but definitely a vasectomy for DH when we are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443253 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:50:35 +0000 Mae 2443253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't sure if we are done yet, but when we know for sure we are our plan is that DH will get the snip. He's more than happy to do it. The only exception would be if we decide to have another kid and I have a scheduled c-section for some reason-- then we may consider the idea of my getting a tubal ligation at the same time. But I plan to try for a vbac if we do have another and I doubt they would do a tubal ligation in the event of an unplanned c-section so that seems unlikely unless I had a breech LO or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-got-fixed-when-you-closed-your-factory#post-2443250 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:42:40 +0000 Mrs. D 2443250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still TTC #2, but we know financially we have to be done with babies when we have this one. So we're going to take preventative measures.<br /> In our case we've already decided it's him who will get "fixed" since it's an out patient procedure with little recovery, compared to a tubal ligation.<br /> But I'm curious, what did you choose? </p>
