Vasectomy. What do you think?

I guess that is a decision your husband has to make. However, many men just seem to stray away from having that done. If you can get him to have that done, it would be good for you. You would not have to work about spending money on Birth Control. If you and your husband are for sure that you do not want anymore children then maybe best alternative for you and your family. As far as the cost of birth control, have you called your local family planning center, county health dept., etc.. they will have resources, or cheap (no-cost) way of getting birth control. good luck to you and family

First of all, take your mom out of the question. As much as she may want you to have another baby, that is your decision. Ask yourselves if you want anymore children, and if there is any chance that you do, it's worth the cost of birth control to wait on the vasectomy. 3 and 5 are difficult ages, but you need to think about when they are older. Are you going to want another one?

Well my hubby and i where thinking of the same things really just a few years back. we have 3 girls 2, 4, and 6 years old. if the third one would have been a boy he was going to have the vasectomy done. but we started useing natral family planing and love it. you simply chart your system evey month. also in the book we got when we took the class it showed that men who get vasectomys raise there odds on getting prostate cancer by 80% judging on there age at time of doing this. but now we are looking me i just had a surgery to remove some cyst off of my ovarys and from eveyone i talk to when you start getting them you continue to get them. since we have been talking already about having one more kid (hoppfuly a boy) now we are going to have to make up our mind. we wanted to wait one more year but may not get to. the reason i am saying this is if this cyst come back again i am have tepmted to just have them remove all of it and be done. no worries of pregnacy or the cyst's. my grandmother had uteran cancer and my grandfather had colen cancer so it is all running in my shoes. what ever you two deside make sure it is what you want not what anyone else wants. and don't make him do it if he don't want to. you never know down the line the two of you may split up and remarry and may not beable to have a family with you new life. i have a friend she could not have any more kids or it would kill her so instead of her having a surgery done and taking care of the problem she made her hubby who has no kids of his own and now never will. they are now also looking at a devorce. so to push if he don't know.

Vasectomey's are permenant, but they aren't 100% effective. I mean, you need to make sure you really don't want any more kids. I have a friend who decided her husband would get a vasectomy & then people around her were having babies & she wanted so much to have another one & they couldn't. So, just make sure you know what you are giving up before you do it. Because people do have a change of heart.

That's what we are planning on after we have our second child. I don't see why I should have to be responsible for birth control for the rest of my life, and a vasectomy is a good option for my husband.
