Unfortunately too busy during March madness. Masters week is the first time in the year I can breathe some.

Man that would be sweet but I doubt my TRS dumpster fire would get me that lucky

March Madness. Make the most of sitting at home. Best decision I ever made.
You'll get pushback but most will do it after they've warned you several times. It's not an end all be all anyhow. Two of my friends who have had it done have had more kids by reversing it or sucking the swimmers right out of the testicle.Buck Compton said:
Both my fiancee and myself have ruled out kids, and get married in March. Master's weekend would be ideal for me.
Anyone with experience here having a doctor do it without already having kids? Have heard there can be some pushback from docs if you aren't already in your late 30s or already have kids. We will both be 30 by the wedding in March.
Agree with this.Bradley.Kohr.II said:
A) 35-40, women who have not had children can get awfully interested in them.
Frankly, so can men.
B) It may not hurt to freeze some semen as a backup plan
As mentioned above, at least pay to have a sample of swimmers frozen, because reversals are hit and miss if you end up changing your mind. One of the managers that works for me was an adamant "no kids" gal along with her husband (been married 5-6 years). At age 33, they change their mind and one is now on the way, due in June.Buck Compton said:

Scheduled. March 2 2018. I thought about waiting until either Masters or March Madness but i semi want to get this over with and be "good-to-go" by early June when we are planning a vacation...
Best of luck with your nuts!wessimo said:
Made the mistake of opening this thread while in the waiting room this morning.
Went with Dr. Williams. The procedure was painless. We made small talk for 10 minutes and it was over. The hardest part was trying to keep my mind off what was going on down there. The cost was $950 with my high deductible plan.
Preemptively icing the marbles now and wishing there was daytime Olympics coverage on tv.
Good to hear. 10 min? Seems faster than i have heard of. I hope that is the case. I just wish it was over already....wessimo said:

Why would you wait until after? You should call one of the doctors and see if its possible for it to take effect in 2 months...i don't think it is just a time issue...i think there are other things that can speed up the process if you know what i mean...metrag06 said:planoaggie123 said:

In a similar spot myself
Made first call today to get in to meet the doc but was a bit taken back that consult and snip are all in one appt. First available appt is in late Feb but we have vacation in early May - I'm assuming I want to wait until after that.
No worries on that front for me. A vasectomy is on my short list of things that I will happily pay full price for.bamdvm said:
Took my guy three tries over the course of 9 months. Ugh. Had a high deductible insurance plan and just couldn't imagine paying $1500 bucks out of pocket for a procedure that simple when we were only charging about $300 for a C-Section on a cow at the clinic at the time. Did some research and had about decided to do my own vasectomy when a "buddy" who was also an OBGYN offered to do it for no charge if I would take him saltwater fly fishing. Seemed like a good idea at the time.... First time wasn't too bad but the second time I knew what was coming so it made it a lot worse. The third time with the dread of what was coming plus having to cut through all the scar tissue from the previous two times made it miserable but it finally took. 20 mg of Valium and a couple of Red Stripes about an hour prior to the procedure helps. Never, ever barter for a free vasectomy. But I'm sure yours will go fine. Good luck!
Yes. My doctor told me specifically NOT to do this because of this problem. I have some issues that would make this highly likely to me. I've already had pain issues over the years. To have this procedure would be a very bad idea.EyeFixer said:
DON'T DO IT! I'm a physician and I will forever regret doing this. Took years for me to somewhat normalize and I'm still not the same as before. Felt like I was kicked in the nuts every time I organismed (misspelled for your amusement).
Read about it before you do it!

Besides, she's the one definitely done having kids, as a man, you never know.

On a side note my wife waited on me hand in foot that whole weekend. Bringing me food and making fresh whiskey drinks whenever I needed.
