State Oklahoma paid for mine. Got through Plan Parenthood. No more kids and can rawdog it without worry.

Oh definitely less to worry about, but damn, the way these kids act, makes me want to get the snip in solidarity.

You get someone else to jiggle your junk

NGL I was so anxious leading up to the procedure I was basically inverted down there. My little dude straight up turtled himself into my pelvis. I mean, I'm a grower and all, but this was Scandinavian polar plunge levels of nope. I would have been embarrassed if I wasn't so impressed with the amount of retreating that was happening

About 1% of patients report post vasectomy pain syndrome - not common, but it can happen. If your urologist didn't talk about that when discussing potential risks, that's a huge red flag.

On that note, reversal of a vasectomy (reanastomosis) has a relatively high chance to fail, so if any of you are considering one cuz it's often pitched as something you can change your mind on later, I'd recommend some other method of birth control. Vasectomies should always be thought of as permanent; and reversals as a gamble.

And on THAT note, they can go the complete opposite direction and reanastomose themselves cuz our bodies are assholes and seem to always do the thing we don't want it to do. You should have follow up appointments to check your semen for swimmers - DO NOT skip those. You may even want to do them annually or something for the first few years after, but that'd be something to discuss with your doc.

I second that. I was good after a few weeks. Something isn't right.
