Your tubes vs. his snip

SugarSnap83 · August 2012

So, whenever the time comes when you've decided you are done having children, are you planning on getting your tubes tied, have SO get snipped, or something else?

desertlady86 · August 2012

I am really really really (lol) wanting to be done with this one. If this baby is a girl DH wants to try again for a boy, ugh! So if we are done with this one DH will go in but if we have a third I will get my tubes tied since I have to have RCS.

Well if there's no more babies in the future then there's no reason for me to get bugged for sex, right? Problem solved.

Wow, the sex must be bad!

When we are done, I've already told DH that he's the one getting snipped!

I had my tubes tied, but I hope I don't regret it. There is this condition called postal tubal ligation syndrome. I had never heard of it until a few months ago. There are lots of possible long-term side effects that some women suffer from. One thing that having a tubal can possibly cause is early menopause which I really don't want to deal with.

I am not saying don't get a tubal, but just be sure to check into all of your options. There don't seem to be as many potential long-term side effects for men (I could be wrong). So far everything has been great for me after the tubal with no issues whatsoever. I just hope it stays that way.

If DH could go in to get snipped today he would!!!!

DH will get snipped. I will have pushed 4 kiddos out of my vag. It only seems fair.

enjoylife · August 2012

DH will be getting snipped when we are through. Not sure if #2 is our last or not. Dh is on board with the plan (I told him he can be babied that week )

I have no problem getting those Essure thing that block your tubes without major surgery.

But we haven't talked about it too much since we aren't making any decisions until ds2 is 12 or 18 months.

When we are done having kids, I will most likely get my tubes tied. I will have a RCS so why not get it done at the same time.

Totally true!

This. I've mentioned it to DH and he seems to be on board with it. It helps his bf did it a couple years ago after he and his wife, who is my bf, ended up having 2 surprises within 2 years.

We're not done yet though. I'd like at least 1, possibly 2, more kids so we'll see if that is still our decision in a few years. Although, I can't see myself volunteering to have major surgery, especially if I never have a c/s, so odds are good it'll be DH getting snipped.

DH will be getting snipped when we're done. My body will have taken most of the physical burden so now it's his turn.

pitterpatter129 · August 2012

I had the csection (and hopefully, not two csections, but maybe...), so he gets snipped!

xxbabycakesxx · August 2012

DH said he's willing to get snipped so we don't have to worry too much about contraceptives but we'll see.

amberleeb · August 2012

After baby #3 DH will get the snip snip. Unless he does not want to then I will just keep having babies until he gets it! LOL. My body has been through enough!

This. It's only fair. So far his only contribution has been a couple orgasms.

We've been trying so hard to TTC, it's funny that I haven't even thought about what we'll do when we're TTA again.

I'm very confident that I don't want more than two kids... but I don't know.... I don't feel like I'm going to be ready to do anything permanent for a while. I suppose that's silly, but I wouldn't mind waiting another five or ten years before making any final decisions.

I was kind of looking forward to going back on the pill anyway, since that's the only thing that really helped with my acne, so I'll probably do that for a while after I wean #2.

Snip snip DH!

IncogNeato · August 2012

His snip. I think it's much less invasive.

Ok, nominate me for crappy wife of the year considering my DH is still recovering from having a testicle removed. I shouldn't really sign him up for more man-part surgery yet, should I? Embarrassed

Am I the only weirdo that doesn't want to do a permanent BC? It's just so, well, permanent. I dunno, I guess I'm just chicken to close that door forever.

I don't do well with hormones, I am a biitch and sex sucks because everything makes me burn. I/we also hate condoms.

I was also a oops baby. My brothers are 13 and 10 years older than me and I hate being so much younger than them.

Oh, I totally get it! I just don't know if I could. I'm not sure that makes sense. Maybe it's because I'm not sure that I'm done, even though I know we are. Sad

My SIL has had problems after her tubal- I'm staying away!! DH volunteered to snip- he said I've done enough, it's the least he could do...

I've had 2 c/s, so I guess a tubal would be "easy", but I'm not doing it!! I have an IUD for now until we decide we're done, then SNIP SNIP!

We know we are done and my OB gave me the essure pamphlet. I just couldn't make that kind of permanent decision. I don't do hormonal BC well either so I got the paragard IUD.

You're not. I'm right there with you. A large part of it for me is good old-fashioned Catholic guilt; DH and I have practiced NFP for years. We did it for a long time to avoid, and obviously we also did it when we decided it was time to TTC. Smile Neither of us feels comfortable with the idea of permanent BC,so when we decide we're 100% done having kids we will just continue to chart to avoid.

Im right there with you. I'm too chicken to do anything permanent because I don't ever want to regret it

I haven't even thought about this Embarrassed But I don't think I'd want to do anything permanent either.
