Anyone had the snip?

For those who have had, or are considering, what age are/were you?

I'm 33 with 3 kids and thinking about getting it done fairly soon.

I'm quite keen on the no-scalpel version, but that doesn't seem to have arrived in Scotland yet so far as I can tell.

Am 37, gf is 46 and we have 3 kids.

Had the no scapel version as well.

The same feeling, the same stuff coming out the end, just no sperm swimming around!

Although a friend did say to the nurse when she was explaining all this to him, "My wife is concerned it won't taste the same"...
 
Had it done, didn't hurt. Was out and about as normal the next day.A few months later you give a sample, they write back to you and let you know that you longer need to use contraception.

Which if you have chosen to have no more children is a massive relief. Plus the responsible thing to do imho.

The awkward bit was walking in to see two quite young guys, one of them said "Right take all of your clothes off, then lie down and relax"

'Relax'!?

It's all fine though mate, no pain. No more worries after..

I've never met a single woman who actually enjoyed the taste!?

I had it after my youngest was born 13 years ago. It was done under local and I did drive myself home. I ended getting an infection and had about a week off work. But don't let my experiences put you off...

When you say 'youngest', I assume you have several kids..so the snip didn't work out for you?

This is what I wanted to ask too. I'm sure its not the case but have this thought that after the snip, I'd completely lose interest.

As it happens, GF has a coil (which is horrendous when you catch it - for both parties!!) and is due for a tube cut soon. We have 5 between us so not keen on another.

Tube ligation is a much bigger procedure than a vasectomy.

A cool shouldn't be able to be caught Unless it's not in properly.
 
Emla cream about 90 minutes before you go, smear it everywhere, didnt feel the needles one bit.

Got 2 clots the size of golf balls when it was done, went down after 5-6 weeks, no pain at all
