Title: FW: vasectomy

I love this thread, even though I am okay about not having any more, you know its time to start being not so broke all the time (studies) . my partner only wanted two but we have four which we are very happy about, but there is a part of me that would be really happy if the vasectomy 'failed' !People think I am mad! what we did for 15 years was I said I didn't mind having more so I told my partner he could take charge of contraception, hence four (nearly five) babies. Then when he really felt that was enough (he is 10 years older than me and feels he is getting too old) he went and got a vasectomy Belinda ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean & Jo To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 11:22 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] FW: vasectomy Megan Dean said it would be not so bad if we could get a girl…but as you can well understand…four boys would just push e over the edge!

Most instances were due to not having waited long enough or getting confirmation with a second test. I also have a girlfriend having her third baby, 2 1/2 yrs after a vasectomy. Having said that I have heard a tubal ligation has a fail rate of 1 in 200, with the risk of an ectopic pregnancy very high as a result. Looking better for the blokes than us girls. If you really think there is a risk (as in Jo's hubbys case) get him to have a sperm count done, it should rule out if he is fertile. Could be worth having done every so often to see what is happening? Or , look at that if you get another baby, then that’s a bit special too.
