Vasectomy's And Tubal Ligation

My dh has already told me that if we get
twins then he is done having kids. I am
not too happy about that but what can you
do. I am trying to delay everything so I
thought I would ask something. Isn't there
some kind of age requirement for
vasectomy's and tubals? I'm pretty sure
there is an age and/or kid limit for
tubals but what about vasectomy's.

i have no idea, but how would he feel if
you got an iud (if you're comfortable with
that) after having the baby? then you'd
have 5 years or whatever for him to think
things over.

if he is the one who is done with kids,
did he offer to be the one to get a
vasectomy? technically he could still
have kids after that right? he just
wouldn't be able to do it naturally.
maybe i'm wrong about that but i'd have to
be pretty darn sure it's what i wanted for
myself if i were going to have my tubes
tied. you sound a bit doubtful.

I am totally against either one of us
having it done. That's why I have been
telling him that he's too young and that
he never knows what's going to happens. He
is so hell bent on the fact that he only
wants two kids. I will not have a tubal
done. He did say he would have a
vasectomy. If he did though and we changed
our minds, he would have to have it
reversed.
I have been thinking about getting the
mirena after I have this one. Can any of
you tell me about your experiences with
it, or with an iud in general? What is
your take on it not preventing
fertilization and just implantation? I'm
kinda leary about that fact. If I don't do
this, I will probably just go back on
Seasonale but I so don't want to gain
weight again.

I don't know about the vasectomy but in
.Louisiana they told my sister when she
had her second child that she had to be
either 21 or married to get her tubes
tied.

Lots of docs won't do them on young women
who only have one child. It's so easy to
change your mind down the road. I asked
my doc to do a tubal when .I was 21 and
she wouldn't. I'm really glad now, but at
the time, .I was mad about it.
I say, if he's the one who doesn't want
anymore, he should be the one who gets the
snip.

I work in in OB office. I have seen many
patients get the Mirena. Some love it,
some hate it. It really just is different
from person to person. I have not seen
problems with weight gain with the Mirena.
Also, most women do not have periods but
if they do have one, they say that it's
the worst they have ever had! definitely
do not do the tubal if you have any doubt.

Definitely don't have a tubal if you're
not ready. My mom had one at 23, but
she'd had 3 kids and her 3 pregnancy was
difficult and traumatic and the doctor was
of the opinion her body couldn't handle a
2nd pregnancy.
I'm on the fence about having a 2nd kid
after this baby (I'm 29). I'm looking
into an IUD, possibly the copper IUD since
I had a bad reaction to the hormones in
birth control pills.

personally i don't think any woman should
lose her ability to have children (unless
it is a risk to her health). that's the
whole reason humans invented so many
different forms of birth control lol. so i
agree with you, don't get the snipping. if
he's fine with a 25% chance of never being
able to have kids again (naturally) that's
his thing and he *really* needs to think
about it before he rushes... yes i said
it, there is basically only a 75% chance
for the ability to have a vasectomy
reversed. now i'm not quite sure where i
read this at, pregnant fog in the brain
and all lol. so please don't quote me on
this, but be sure to make him check it
out.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to be
doing the iud after this one. I haven't
got to talk to him about that yet. We have
about eight more months left to decide so
plenty of time.

.Have you found out yet whether you're
having twins? (sorry if you've mentioned
before, I haven't seen anything)
