Chances are still good if she is still having her period. I just had a Vas 4 weeks ago. No insurance and it only cost $820 which is considerably less than rasing a kit at 42. Proceedure wasn't bad, drove my self home, stopped to get the perscription and a couple of movies at the movie store. Almost passed out at the store, not sure why as there wasnt that much pain. Iced for 1 day and then had sex 3 days later (doc, said to wait a week). You still need to use other forms of birth control for a minimum of 6 weeks and until you are clear.

My brother in law had a vasectomy several years ago. He & my sister knew that they didn't want any more children, he has 3 daughters from previous marriages & they have one together. He says it is the best thing he could have done. He was sore for about 2 weeks, but since the procedure is much less invasive than a tubal, he hasn't ever regretted it & with some of the health problems my sister has had, this was the best thing for them. I do think that it is something that should be discussed. My sis & her hubby talked about it for a long time, weighed the pros & cons & then scheduled the surgery. I don't think he had an audience, though, just my sister.



The chance of a woman in her 40's becoming pregnant isn't as slim as it used to be. I am 46 & have just started the pre-menopause fun & games. I have several friend in their 40's who are all having babies. I knew when I was in my mid-30's that I couldn't have any more children, so it hasn't ever been an issue for us. All women should have a physical with pap smear every year, just to be on the safe side.

If the woman isn't fertile, then there's no need for the surgery in the first place.

I worked with a guy who had one. He couldn't sit down for days afterward. I asked him if anything was different and he said instead of ejaculating there's just a whistling sound.

My wonderful lady wants me to do this. She is 43 and I tell her the chance of getting preggo at that age is very slim. Am I wrong? What are the chances?

yes you are wrong!!! She can still get pregnant unless she has completed menopause. Don't take any chance unless you want more children or you will surprised and starting over at this stage at your life.

My husband had one done 9 years ago and therre has been no adverse effects. The only thing we have noticed is that hwne he ejaculates there isn't as much.

i didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if this has been mentioned but be sure you are burned and cauterized and not just cut because if you are just cut then the chance of it growing back together according to my Dr. are 1 in 200. If you are burned and cauterized it can not grow back together but it also can not be reversed I don't think.

...not only that, but if you listen closely, you can hear the feint cries of 7 million lost sperm cells looking for a way out!

On a more serious note, it was MUCH more painful (afterwards) than I had anticipated. But I had a couple of weeks of intermittent bleeding (in my semen, not from the surgery). I'd still do it again, if only for the weekend of relaxation watching football and holding cold peas and blueberries to my groin.

There might be a few days of discomfort associated with a vasectomy, but some surgical procedures designed to help men with infertility problems (in other words, NOT a vasectomy reversal) are much more invasive and uncomfortable, requiring admission into the hospital and general anesthesia.

The chance of a woman in her 40's becoming pregnant isn't as slim as it used to be. I am 46 & have just started the pre-menopause fun & games. I have several friend in their 40's who are all having babies.

Just curious--are these women conceiving on their own, or are they using fertility drugs, IVF, etc? A lot of women defer pregnancy until their forties, only to find that they have trouble conceiving, while others get pregnant quite easily.

This is a good point.

Our first child was conceived after about 6 months of trying, second child after about 18 months, and our third child while we were using condoms for birth control. Go figure.

My parents were using the foam and condom method of BC. When my dad decided he didn't want to wear his, I came along. Mom switched to the BC pills. When mom was ready to have my brother, the doctor told her it could take up to six months to get the pills out of her system (it was a new technology in the mid 60's) she was pregnent by the second month.
^shrug^ go figure.

only abstenance is 100% effective - and even that is not certain if the man ejaculates anywhere near the woman's body - sperm can move up to 18 inches in order to reach the target

this is acctualy a lie, there are 3 100% effective type of birthcontrol out of abstenance. they just tell you that abstianance in High school so that you wont have sex.

technicly Birth Control pills are 100% Effective for all personal. the only thing that makes it in effective is that if you are allergic to the Birth control chemicals and your body fights it off. it is 100% effective because it creates a chemical that mimics the Estrogen levels and makes the egg never be released from the overies. again, they say 99.9% because there is that .1% that is allergic to the chemicals pusduo form and the body will fight it off before it grants its effect. also, if you get pregnate while on the pill, and the docter says that your Not allergic to it, Its because you Didnt Do it Right.

Vasectomy or tieing the falopian tubes are also 100% effective, mearly that, if your shooting blanks, or if the sperm cant get to the egg, then that baby cant be. again the only medical reason that they can give to say that this isnt 100% is because there is a .001% of people who have reseilant regeneration of their body in which it will acctualy untie it self and grow back to its orginal form.(same thing for fallopian tubes)

The Last one is acctualy a Very very odd form of birth control (as they have tried to mimic it in multiple T inserts for females |edit: i belive they are Called UDI's) Simply, Put copper into the Uterus. (mostly those that did this Used Pennies) this is a very weird method but it is also 100% effective because for some odd reason the copper either kills the sperm or disorents them making them unable to furlize the egg. this is often used in middle eastern countries for Cammels to make the females sterial so that they dont have to worry about pregnate cammels when they are trecking across the desert.
