Mike’s experience: My Vasectomy Story

Finally got around to having my vasectomy done on 20th May (2004). I was really nervous, having already backed away from the whole thing after visiting a well known UK family planning organization and being told by a very young receptionist that there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Well, that’s my concerns dismissed as … Continue reading

Ann’s experience: Reversal story

I’m new to this website but I thought I would share our story so others could benefit from our experiences. My partner had his original vasectomy when he was 30, he had no children prior but was actively avoiding that at that time in his previous relationship. He had his reversal in Nov 1998, about … Continue reading

Darrel’s vasectomy experience

The following is my vasectomy story. Please note that it is long and detailed. There is a quick timeline near the bottom for a short version, but it doesn’t go into detail as to how much pain I’ve been in. I hope people read this before having one of their own. I had a vasectomy … Continue reading

Adam’s experience: Adam’s PVP Diary

Clark’s experience: One month after my vasectomy

During the spring of 2003, my wife of then 14 years began to bring up the subject of a vasectomy. At age 37 she was beginning to worry about the possible complications that could result from a birth-control “accident.” Although she was primarily thinking about medical complications, at age 44 I was concerned a bit … Continue reading

Keith’s experience: My story

I appreciate the resources that you and other sites like yours provide! I wish that I had known of these websites a few years ago. I may not have had a vasectomy if I had read the stories in your forum first. I had a vasectomy between 2 and 2,5 years ago. About ten days … Continue reading

Clay’s experience: Regret over making the decision alone

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

Dan’s experience: All in all, not too bad!

I’m 34, a banker, and my wife just had our second child in Sept. We have a girl and now a boy, the family is complete! The plan was if she had a c-section with our son, she would have had her tubes tied. Fortunately (for her) she had a natural birth. Unfortunately for my … Continue reading

Rick M’s experience: One month later

I had my vasectomy done on 18 December 2003 I thought I’d write a one month follow up. I had a “Chinese” vasectomy, where the urologist cuts two little slits, cuts the vas, cauterizes them, then seals it all up. The total procedure took 30 minutes or so. I went to Asheville Urology in Asheville, … Continue reading
