Reader’s who regret having a vasectomy share their experiences. There are many different reasons men might regret their decision and it’s not always related to post-op complications.
Typically I am a very positive person. I am not very positive about my vasectomy story. My wife was pregnant with our third child. I was at work at my firehouse and was having a conversation with my chief and telling him that my wife had decided to get a tubal ligation after delivery. She … Continue reading
Here is my male surgical sterilization experience. I wanted to record something other than the generic, “I worried, it didn’t hurt, it turned black and blue, we tried it out and it still worked, my balls ache a bit, I am childfree, whee!” story. Repeating the mistake of Polonius, “Brevity is the soul of wit, … Continue reading
Your website is the first place where I have seen this subject explored. My husband was adamant about not having more children (we have three), and although I kind of wanted one more, I decided that my desire was unreasonable and that he was right. However, after years of IUDs, condoms, and other pesky forms … Continue reading

Donut-shaped pillowErgonomic Innovations Orthopaedic SeatI had a vasectomy about 11 years ago after the birth of our fourth child.

I hope my story will be of some assistance to your readers. … Continue reading
In 2003, I saw my regular physician for something, I can’t remember. During the visit, I asked him about referring me to a vasectomy. He told me that I should think it over with my wife, and consider it absolutely permanent. I believe it was great advice. So, we did consider it for quite some … Continue reading
My wife and I have 4 children. When my wife was pregnant with our youngest child she brought up the idea of a vasectomy. We didn’t really discuss it, but I assumed it was what she wanted. When our son was 6 weeks old, I had the vasectomy done. I had gone to the consultation … Continue reading

I decided to post my story in hopes that someone currently considering a vasectomy might benefit from my experience. Do your Homework!

I suppose I am here to learn and share my experiences. I had a vasectomy done in January 1995. I was 35 at the time. We had one ten-year-old child who was/is extremely hyperactive and troublesome to us. We tried for several years for another baby, but after two painful and emotionally draining miscarriages, we … Continue reading
Here is my story so far… October 15, 2002 I am 37 years old and have two kids. I have a varicocele on my left side and was assured that would not affect the operation which would be straightforward. I had my vasectomy 12 days ago. Initially, after the operation, I felt okay because the … Continue reading
This is my sad tale of woe. However, the most sympathy I’ve ever received is, “Sucks to be you!” For many years growing up, I never gave much thought to the idea of parenthood. Even when discussing it with friends at an early age (e.g. 12, 13, 14) most of them said they wanted two … Continue reading
