I had it done several years ago. Drove my self home...just sat my blue balls up on the dash but the speedbumps were a killer.

Actually I think insurance did pay for it so I don't know how much it cost but whatever it was...it was well worth it !!

Yep, I had it done a long time ago. I actually walked home approximately 5 miles. I went dancing that same night. It really wasn't that bad at all. I believe that once I forgave my wife for not making it back in time, I even had sex but I think that was the next morning. I was in the military so it was paid for of course, but I believe that insurance is more than happy to pay for an out-patient procedure vs the cost of having children.

I don't know if this has changed but they made me wait for 3 months to have it done to give me time to change my mind. Good luck.

Im sure youve thought of it already, but you DID talk to your wife about it right? That whole kids thing can make or break a marriage...

Mmmmm, I understand. As long as you've been clear from the start, her fault for thinking to change you on that subject. Its said that everyone changes their mind, but that doesnt say you have to. Good luck man, I dont blame you for taking no chances as long as you are 100% sure.

I would def verify with Ins. You would think it would be covered since it's a one time procedure and less costly then children but birth control for women is NOT covered by Ins so I would say there is a chance this is not either. It is elective surgery after all.

Granted it's a 1 time fix-all and birth control for woman is an on-gong thing but most procedures for woman are not covered since they are elective.

Yea but it was a different situation from yours. My wife was "damaged" and supposedly couldn't have children without danger.

Anyway, if you want to be "sneaky" about it, I'm sure that you could have it done without her knowledge. It took maybe an hour start to finish. You could schedule it around your work. I was literally good to go after two or three days. There's always a lot of talk about choice when it comes to a woman's body. Well here's where we get to make a choice. If I were you, I'd get it done, not say anything and quit arguing with her on the subject. Heck a vasectomy could save your marriage! Hell, you can let her think that you're willing to let God decide whether or not you have children.

Quite frankly, you may be in danger of being ambushed with fatherhood here pretty soon. I've heard stories of women "forgetting" the pill, poking holes in condoms, getting men drunk, etc to get a baby when their clocks are going off. Women have looked me in the face and told me that " I'd change my mind about children if I had one". A lot of women seem to think that we'll be lovestruck and forget our misgivings if we're presented with fate accompli' !

You'd better get on the case with a quickness before it's too late!!! I guarantee there's a female somewhere telling her that "you'll come around" if she gets pregnant.
