"Hi all, Not sure whether this is the right category to be posting under but I'm looking for some general opinions/advice. Recently, I've been considering getting a vasectomy. I have looked into the procedure and read lots of feedback on various websites and it seems that the procedure is straightforward with little complications. However, I'm a single guy who is only 30. I have no children but have and am as certain as I can be that I won't want any in the future! I'd never want to have them just to satisfy a partner and so it seems sensible to eliminate risk from sex. I'd still wear a condom during sex (obviously, for safety reasons) but would have less risk of any mistakes etc. Do you think this is a bad idea? Am I too young? Should I not get it done so early on even if I am satisfied that I don't want children of my own? If so yes or no then why? As a precaution, I'm considering having some sperm frozen. The annual cost isn't too bad and I'd keep them until about the age of 40. As a backup just in case as there is then the option of IVF if I really did think I'd made a mistake. Thanks in advance and I'd appreciate only sensible/helpful replies. G" I had it done at 36 having had a son, though at 42 I’ve met ‘the one’ and regret it. You just don’t know what’s round the corner | |||

"Whats the main drive behind your decision ?" Sorry, I forgot to quote your message to make obvious what I was replying to! A lack of want to have children, how easy and relatively risk free the procedure is and the benefits which would come with having had it done i.e. extremely minimal risk of an unwanted mistake. | |||

" You've thought this through and seem pretty adamant it is what you want, go for it. I had the snip at 29, no children and no plans to have any. I was expecting to "argue" with the doctor but I didn't have to, they accepted my decision and I had it done and healed within 6 months. Freezing some of your chaps is a good idea if you feel you may change your mind. Personally, I didn't do that as if we were to ever change our minds we'd adopt or foster. Good luck with it!" This is a really helpful answer. Thank you. Interesting to hear from someone who did the same at a similar age and presumably doesn't regret. Can I ask please, what were your reasons for doing it at the time at 29? Cheers | |||

There are many, some a little controversial, but the top few are: Both of us do not want children - as said, would adopt or foster. Other half (and most woman) are always the ones on birth control and I've found it's a bit unfair as they tend to take the "responsibility". We have plenty of nieces and nephews between us. | |||

G" I had mine at 40 3 kids and Dr still didn't want to without repeated confirmation even up to lying on the table ready for the op. I definitely didn't want anymore at 40, but now a 60 I would like to start anew. So you never know. Freezing could be a good option, but if you're already using condoms for health and there is a high probability that your partner's will be on the pill then why do it? Even if you have an accident there is always the morning after pill. As with any procedure there are risks. If you where in a relationship and both agreed that you don't want kids or there may be a health reason not to have kids then definitely would do. But as your single and very young Personally I would say leave it. | |||

"My partner is currently 28 and he had his about 2 years ago. We have a child together and we both agreed we didn't want anymore. We spoke about the future and if anything should happen between us and he decides he wanted more children but he was adamant. Our gp was very supportive. Just made us look at the pros and cons etc. Go speak to your gp xx" P.s not everyones recovery will be the same. | |||

"i would wait 5 years life could and can be very different the fact you want to freeze sperm says that you arent 100% may only be minor surgery but can still go wrong you would have to go private and need counselling before it gets done " Mine was Mary stopes referred by NHS. It doesn't have to be private. | |||

"I had one done in my early 30s but I'd had two kids with my then wife. I decided to for a number of reasons, but mostly because I know that under no circumstances at all did I want 3 children. I then got divorced, and was very pleased I had, given my certainty of not wanting more children, it made dating and discussing such things with new partners a non-issue, since it simply wasn't a possibility. Personally, unless you've been married and had a long term relationship and decided you don't want kids, when life is perfect, I don't think you can know how you'll feel if you meet the right person. I'd hold off for another 5+ years." Exactly the same here. No regrets and makes a good clear conversation starter when needed. | |||

Been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Still worked out to be a good decision for me though. Hope this helps. | |||

G" So G, you want to join the massed ranks Of those of us who are firing blanks Such a heady decision at a tender age What if in time you want to turn life’s page And knock out a couple of offspring That pipe reconnection lark is no easy thing Why not take sometime out to think About the consequences of that missing link As fellow Fab followers have advised above You could in future find that special love Who wants to add to the family tree One or two pan lids or maybe three My advice is keep those testis intact At the hallelujah moment just retract Save those tiddlers for another day Believe me with this topic I am au fait | |||

"If you are 100% sure you want it now, go for it. If you have any doubt, wait or simply don't get it done. What if you meet the woman of your dreams in a few months after it who wants to have a child with you, but hates the idea of frozen/defrosted sperm insemination? Just a thought. " Frozen defrosted sperm ........that’s dogging on a very cold night? | |||
