Those of you with vasectomies, do you still take other precautions?

[Jumpem]

Is your wife on or off the pill? Condoms or no condoms? Pull out or not worry about it anymore?

 

[SandEagle]

What's the point if u still have to worry about pulling out?

That's my question. Are they absolutely 100% effective once you have been checked after the procedure?

No kids for the past 25 years - worked pretty well from our viewpoint

Good to hear. We have two kids now. Any more would be hard to fit into the budget.

 

[EagleKeeper]

We said that if #4 was healthy that would be it.

It was simplier/safer for me than my wife.

30 min procedure on a Fri afternoon; at work on Monday

18 years later, no additional kids. 30 min prodedure on a Fri morning; at work late Friday afternoon.

 

[child of wonder]

10 min procedure at work on a Friday afternoon. No kids since.

10 min procedure at work on a Friday afternoon.

Wow, now THAT sounds convenient!

 

[MarkXIX]

Nope, no precautions here. I broke the belt of ammunition of my runaway gun.

 

[Old Hippie]

not worry about it anymore?

I got one in my early 30's, I'm 58 and have never been celibate.

No problem.

 

[Turin39789]

A few seconds on a Friday afternoon at my desk with a staple remover, didn't even clock out.

Daughter was born 12-10-10

 

[eersnherd]

No sperm seen in sample at my 30 day test, so no other precautions taken.
Some doctors ask you to have 2 negative tests before you are considered to be in the clear.

 

[AreaCode707]

No issues here. Our only kids are goats and dogs.

TripleShot on these forums is the posterboy for vasectomy failure, IIRC. Snipped, triplets, re-snipped.

 

[waggy]

nope. i got a ZERO count so i don't do anything more.

Though there are stories of people still having "live" ammo after it. its rare but possible.

 

[Bateluer]

I want to get one.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

I had mine done a year ago and love it. I still take precautions (due to STDs since I'm not married), but also as a "just in case."

Even though I had two negatives (30 days and 90 days), it can regrow. Since I'm young still (24), I see it as a slightly higher chance that my body "heals" itself and regrows them. The past year though, no kids or scares

 

[Tweak155]

It's been a while since I've gotten shots. I should probably do that at some point.

 

[PsiStar]

nope ... and for a couple of decades!

Wow a vasectomy so young??

 

[rayray2]

i had one about 10 years ago and haven't taken any precautions since. i didn't even send in a sample after the procedure and no more babies yet

 

[boomhower]

I've been considering it myself. A couple guys a work have them. They said they were a bit sore for a few weeks at work but after that no lingering affects other than getting hit in the balls hurts more.

 

[PsiStar]

I was sore for about 6 hours ... and not even really sore. Not even noticeable actually.

 

[CPA]

No protection since 1991.

 

[IronWing]

The rubber masks, chains, and goggles are no longer necessary but don't tell the wife.
