Talking about Essure

I went for my annual appt with my OBGYN yesterday and had a little convo about getting my tubes tied. I went in there completely sure that I was "one and done" with the whole baby thing but as I was sitting there hearing how permanent it is, I suddenly became not so sure. I cannot even fathom having another any time in the near future but I hate to make a decision now and hardcore regret it in 5 years. Anyone else one and done but not 100 percent sure?

I may be one and done I had a rough few  years trying to stay pregnant but I'm making no decisions for at least a year.

im on the other side of 35 (not that it means much given halle berry:) but anywhoo I'm leaning more to being one and done my family feels complete to me.

We were one and done but I couldn't do the permanent BC at my age with one kid.  I just couldn't...and then I had issues with Mirena and now we have DD and can't imagine it any other way.  And we personally love the bigger age gap.  I have a helper (who can legitamly be helpful), my house is still calm and cool, I'm more calm and cool... If you are not sure wait!  Or have your husband get fixed since that's easier to reverse.

I would be 100% OAD but DH is not on board.  I am still working on convincing him, but we may end up having one more.

I feel just like you do, except Im torn between 2 and 3 kids. I opted for the paragard IUD since it has a 10 year effective period but literally the day you have it removed you could TTC if you wanted to with no issues.

DH wants a vasectomy but I just cant commit to it yet--hes only 30 yrs old and we're still pretty new to this multiple children thing so maybe a year or two down the road we'll decide that the short term stress is worth the long term gain. As pp said, vasectomies are pretty permanent. Reversals are only about 75% effective and cost a fortune and insurance typically doesnt pay for it so youre better off putting your money in an adoption at that point! 

Im planning to use the IUD for a a few years until I feel very confident with my decision, whatever it is.

I never want to be pg again.  I'm using paraguard right now and I worry that is won't work.  I think about something more permentant.  My "easy" pg ended 34 wks and NICU time.  Then for my 2nd I had lots of negetive test results, p17 shots, bed rest, 7 weeks of contractions. Though it did end in a perfect baby I don't ever want to do that again.
