Vasectomy

I underwent a vasectomy operation in March 2005. I will talk about the experience in 3 seperate categories (pre-op, operation, and post-op) and try to advise the reader who may be considering this course of action. Pre-Op Myself and my wife have 4 children ranging in age from twin girls aged 3 yrs, to 2 older girls (age - 10 & 11 yrs old). We have recently moved to a 3 bedroom house and finances are tight to say the least. I decided to have a vasectomy for 2 reasons - simply, after long discussions, myself and the 'better' half have decided we do not want any more children, (we also have a high chance of having twins again), and we cannot ...  Read the complete review

I was joking honest! So uncross your legs boys and stop wincing now!! Girls stop grinning that smile too it makes the boys worried! Those scissor movements with your fingers appears to be worrying them as well.... Many of you will know I'm an eye nurse and will wonder why I seem to know rather alot about the snip, the final cut or to give it it's proper name a vasectomy. A few years ago I worked in a day surgery unit which did many different types of procedures and operations. My boss realized that the eye nurses didn't actually do very much on a wednesday afternoon and decided that we could become Vassy Nurse every Wednesday not something we ...  Read the complete review

Anyway to cut a long story short , we did as he suggested ( oh what ...  Read the complete review

The First Cut Is The Deepest………. It all happened in 1985 when my wife told me she was pregnant with our fourth child, I nearly passed out. It was totally out of the blue and I was in shock. I normally laugh when people say that they are pregnant and it was an accident but in this case that’s exactly what it was. We had three kids and didn’t want four but my daughter is 16 today and I wouldn’t be without her now……. After we found out my wife was pregnant I decided I would get a Vasectomy so I made an appointment with my Doctor. I arrived at the surgery and we had a long chat as to whether I was ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes, you do things that have such a significant bearing on your life, that the hatred you have for the people who helped you make a so-called “RIGHT” decision cannot be explained in words. Let me tell you the tale of woe that befitted myself some 12 years ago. I was 25 years old, and had been married just over a year, when my wife at the time decided she wanted a hysterectomy. Now Jonathan, my son and her third child, was a wanted child, so don’t think otherwise. However he was my second, and as I mentioned above, her third child. When we went to see the specialist, he decided that it would be so much easier ...  Read the complete review
