The V Word... need some help

[Forehead]

Random bump!!
I was VERY nervous about doing it...it was quick and easy. SO glad I did it! In VA, the worse is you have to come in for a consultation and then come back a 2nd time to do it. The waiting is what sucks!!

Yeah no kidding. I was contemplating whether to start a thread about this and am kind of glad that this got bumped so I don't have to. My wife and I had our second kid around last Christmas and she is done. I'm pretty much on board, I liked the idea of a 3rd kid but it's financially not feasible, and we're ready to move on to the next stage of our lives. I went in for the consultation about 10 days ago. I am in the middle of the waiting period now. The prescription valium and painkillers are sitting on the kitchen table, watching me and waiting. I'm supposed to go in the Friday before MLK day (that was on purpose, federal holiday and extra recovery time) to have it done if I don't wuss out first. Reading about the procedure is stomach turning, but I gather it's supposed to be relatively quick and not too painful. I still don't like the idea of a shot in the balls. I don't like the idea of it in general, but my wife has been on birth control for years so I've enjoyed years of condom free sex. We tried condoms a few times as an alternative to birth control pills...no me gusta.

Sorry, kind of a stream of conciousness, but it's a load on my mind. I'm doing my best not to back out of it but that five week clock is ticking loudly in my brain.

I was in and out (so to speak) in a few hours. No big deal, and no weird chemicals, devices or intensive surgeries for my wife to deal with. It was a no brainer for me.

In all seriousness.. if you're worried about pain or discomfort,, listen to the link I posted a few back. You will hear how painless it is.

Did this a few years ago. From the time I left my house til I got back home it was at most an hour and a half, door to door, start to finish, soup to nuts . Only pain I felt was later in the day when I got my sister-in-law at the airport and caught her snickering behind my back as I rather gingerly picked up her suitcases.

I opened this thread thinking it was about vagina. Imagine my surprise.
