Advice on a vasectomy!

I am 42 years old male, 7 children and twins due in July! I am considering a vasectomy and just wanted to speak to people that have been through it and get some input before going ahead with it! Like is it the best thing you have done or was it the worst thing? Any other input would be great thank you! Rob

I'd say don't rush into it Rob. There's some information here and it's worth looking into post-vasectomy pain. I've interviewed to a couple of guys who have had it and it's not good.

Thank you very much for that info. It was really helpful. My worry is not the change of mind of wanting more kids! That's concrete in my mind I don't! Talked with partner and we agreed to try for one more and end up having twins! That's my luck! My worry is the pain afterwards so the info. Was really helpful. Thank you again!

Do`nt jump from one problem to another, having a vasectomy was the worst decision of my entire life. Do not listen to doctors who tell it`s nothing, so many of us suffer from PVPS.
