Bahaha! Yesterday on the radio, they said that the vasectomy rate goes up by 50% for March Madness. Guys want to watch sports while icing their package.

LOL! DH has requested he gets his done Daytona weekend. It's the only race of the year he gets to watch.

DO IT. It will be easier for you, too. A vasectomy is like a man cold x100 and they will milk it. Badly. If they are on the couch and distracted by a sport they like... it's worth it for you, too.

We're hoping next year. How long did it really take for him to recover?

It's not very long, honestly. He was fine after 4 days. He could stop icing after 2. It's the location that makes them milk it and make it seem worse than it truly is.. "how would you feel if you were cut down there?" Gee, lots of women have been who had vaginal births! Or ripped, pick your choice. After the fact, he said it wasn't that bad.

@MissPeansMama DH is also in a physcially demanding job. I wonder how that's going to work out for him.

Is he able to take any days off? IF so, can he take just one? Two if at allllll possible? If two... ask if he can have surgery on a Thursday. My H did this. He had it Thursday, then took off Friday and Monday. That way, he actually had 4 full days to recover .. because it included the weekend, which he has off. If he works weekends, maybe schedule it different. But you get my point.

My H listened and actually rested and lounged, and iced with peas like 4-5 times a day.. and healed very quickly.

Only on the one and done board lol

DH has his next month. He's a SAHD who works weekends and doesn't get paid leave, and I get paid family sick leave, so he's getting it on a Monday and I'm taking (hopefully just) two days off.

michelle615 · March 2014

I'd like to answer the TTC question with a Oh H*ll No!!

I was actually starting to get random thoughts that a nice squishy newborm wouldn't be such a bad addition to my little family. And then DS got sick recently and we're back to being somewhat sleep deprived. Apparently that was what I needed to remind myself just how poorly I functioned during that newborn sleep deprivation stage, to the teething/illness and earaches stage, and so on and so on.

Love this!!

DH has his scheduled for May. I'm so ready to get off of BCP!!

TittsMcGee · March 2014

I have to talk my H into getting the big V.

Yes.
Yes you do. No birth control is a DREAM.

legalbeagle1 · March 2014

So DH swears we are done with one but doesn't want to schedule a V. He doesn't want someone messing with his man parts. So we're using condoms bc I like being off hormonal BC. Did any of you guys have to convince your husbands? I am on the fence but DH is firm about being done so I would just like him to get the snip if that is the case!

PB102012 · March 2014

Not it!

We are still firmly one and done.

kristennd · March 2014

DH did have some qualms to work through. He agreed that it was the logical solution but he's still afraid of irreparable damage.

That's a pretty common concern-- my husband said the same thing. He wasn't scared but he wasn't rushing to make the appointment so we set a date to make our official decision (when A turned one) and then I began to apply light pressure over the next couple of months. For me, I had a good edge because I had an absolutely horrible pregnancy that ended with a c-section (which I loved but, to him, he considered it a big deal) so I could reflect on that plus, I developed pretty severe melasma after pregnancy and the hormonal birth control made the spots even worse so I wanted to get off before my face turned even darker. He knew that upset me a lot so that pushed up his decision. He whined a little but he did it and now he tells everybody about it, lol.

meo34 · March 2014

Love all the V talk associated with TTC, we need to start a new thread LOL.

DH had qualms, to the point he told me while he was on the table he had thoughts of just jumping up and yelling "F**k this" and running out of the room. Fortunately he held it together and went through with it. And if you know my reserved husband who never curses, I found it hilarious picturing it if he had ran out, can you imagine? me outside waiting and seeing him appear?

Anyway, it was not painful at all he said, worst part is the needle to numb the area and then no issue. He followed the doctors orders on resting (he really milked it I must say and I went along for a few days lol). So he had a really good recovery and no complications.

I had an emergency C-Section and a rough time leading up to it, he was the one who worried constantly about me getting pregnant because of the stress he went through thinking I might not make it so I told him to step up in terms of BC.

After everything was done we have a great sex life, better than before because of no worrying and no BC hormones, no having to use back up because of medications or missing a pill. Maybe that can convince your DHs

I have a question for the husbands that don't want to get a vasectomy.
Is it more that they don't want to get the surgery itself due to pain, etc or is it because they are hesitant about being sterile?
Just curious.

DH wasn't afraid of the pain of the procedure itself. He was afraid of something going wrong and causing long-term or permanent erectile dysfunction. But he also has some hesitation about sterilization. He's not as 100% OAD as I am and has more what-ifs.

kristennd · March 2014

M&MHaveMyHeart said:

I didn't even think about that aspect of the possibility of an erectile dysfunction. I wonder how often that happens. That would suuuck.

My understanding is never. He came up with the risk in his own head.

MrsCodeMonkey · March 2014

Neither DH or I want to go through surgery for birth control. That may change. For now we use condoms and hope there won't be an oops.

For us, it is that even though we are 98% OAD, he feels like for a while in our early 20's I was CERTAIN that I didn't want any children, so he feels like, what if we wake up in a year and wish we did have the option to have a second?

I think he will be willing to get the big V in a year or two. He isn't worried about anything other than the idea of it being 100% permanent.
