No, I am not.
I’ll wait until after you’re done to tell a story.
My husband had to do it five or six times, he kept having sperm count.
I’m sure the actual collection was not a hassle for him, but driving 25 minutes across town afterwards to drop it off…annoying to do that many times.
We would, yes. We foster newborns, babies ain’t no thang for us. Just trying to not make any more of our own.
Ah yeah that sounds annoying. Luckily I was at 0 first test.

Wow that’s gotta be tough, how do you deal with the impact to sleep!? I think the youngest I could conceivably do something like that would be ~10-14 months… get them going with some sleep training and they’re old enough to be pretty dynamic during the day

Our kids weren’t sleeping for the longest time anyway. 7yo really didn’t sleep through the night until maybe 5. We are used to the sleep impact now, although it’s still terrible.
Babies are easy compared to toddlers. Once they’re mobile, they’re so much more work. I can strap a baby to me and go about my day, for the most part. And they’re super sweet and cute and don’t mouth off to me like my own kids do…

With my near-7 year old everyone sees her being super well behaved but then I’m like you have no idea how rude she just was to me earlier!!

vas’d after third bio child, that was enough. No negatives. The only weird thing was the doctor had a medical student observer during the procedure, so he kept manipulating parts of my nether region and exposing them to this person I didn’t expect to be in the room.

We’re still holding off on doing the snip snip. I’m pretty sure we’re not going to have any (more) kids but I’m not getting rid of the option in case I do change my mind. It wouldn’t change the BC situation either way - I’m on that for the hormone regulation.
Related - I’m about 99% certain my kids think I’m physically unable to produce children (despite telling them otherwise). Mum had a hysterectomy and the projection is strong with that one.
He invited someone to the ball?

Vasectomy means never having to say you’re sorry
I thought that was what Viagra was for

it was certainly a spectacular!
That quote happened decades before Viagra
totally forgot about that
I got mine. Wasn’t a big deal. My wife still gives me grief because I got a Vicodin or something similar to help with anxiety/pain, and she lists multiple procedures women have to go through without any sort of pain meds. Says I was a big baby, but the doctor offered and I wasn’t going to say no to drugs.

I think it’s rather shocking that we are expected to endure IUD insertion (especially the first one if you’ve never had a child) without any sort of pain medication. I’m sure there’s other examples but that one stands out for me.
That was WAY worse than, say, my periodontal surgery where the periodontist was essentially handing out hydrocodone prescriptions like Halloween candy. That was shocking in the other direction. I was like “this is why we have an opioid epidemic!!!”
I’ve had hydrocodone. Didn’t really get much high from it.
