I would get him the snip. I know it is reversable for men, but I don't think it is for women so if you guys change you mnd down the track, not just that but the recovery time for men is a lot quicker. I would look in to both methods speak to your doctor do some research then make an educated desicion together.
Send him! The pregnancy rate after the woman is done is 1 in 200, while after the man is done it's 1 in 2000. I found this out after my SIL had her 4th baby - after she's been done twice & reversed once. But make really sure you dont want a third as she was extremely lucky to have had a successful reversal - after the birth of her third child the hospital admitted this was their first ever successful one (NOT a small town hospital either).
As a bloke I find this an interesting question and I also have an answer (from my point of view of course).
I am probably a little strange as I fell neither should have a procedure done as your body should not be messed with. (mind you I don't even think much of ear piercing and cosmetic surgery so I am probably a bit boring there.)
I personally would research other options but this only my opinion.
My partner and I were in this position 2 years ago.We both went to the doctors and discussed what would be our best option.Firstly, my partner-he'll go mad if I tell you this but here goes-he has extra,extra sensitive testes.If I go near them he flinches and it's'mind me bollies'. Can't believe I wrote that!! The doctor told him that having a vasectomy could make the problem worse.MMM.. So, at my doctors I discussed sterilisation and was told that it could be quite complicated and not always be 100%.Apparently the tubes can join back together.Anyway, in the end I had the mirena coil fitted.It lasts for 5 years and produces oestrogen-so is very good for pre-menopause.Another advantage is that your periods stop.I had 'spotting' for 4 months and nothing since.
It's quite a difficult choice to make really.Best of luck,Lisa
Yeah, i'd be sending him! I'm trying to get mine to get the snip, i feel i've had enough done to my body! The whole waiting for 14 times is because sperm is in storage and they say it takes up to 20 times before it is completely empty. Good Luck!
I'd have to say it's much easier for hubby. It's only day surgery compared to a major op for you. It only takes an hour and that's it. He will need to be tested tho, in about two weeks to a month to make sure it was successful and then your in the clear.
i personally think your man should get the snip. This is because a tubal ligation is a rather big operation and to get the tubes reversed (untied) is a much bigger operation. With tubal ligation you could be off your feet for upto 6 weeks (no lifting etc) where as if your hubby gets the snip, its done under local anaesthetic and he wont be off his feet -. Just remember tho - if he does get the snip, he needs to masturbate at LEAST 14 times after its done or wear condoms for 14 naughties.
