Tomorrow is the day. Hubs is taking one for the team and getting a VASECTOMY. It’s crazy to say it out loud. Up until recently, I never would have thought that my husband would ever, ever get that procedure. It just sounded barbaric to me. Through the years, whenever someone I knew was getting one, the same thought would always come to me- “wow that wife is such a bitch to put him through that!”
It’s funny how drastically thoughts can change…especially after two nightmare pregnancies. Yes, I researched doctors and booked the appointment. All of the research showed that vasectomies are very invasive with a short recovery period. It’s not that I MADE him go to the consult….but I very much made my opinion very clear on the subject. Most of my experiences with docs offices and hospitals were traumatizing so if it is not a necessary surgery, I will steer clear. I was on the pill in my early 20’s and it made me bleed for a month straight (so hot!) and also affected my blood pressure (surprise surprise). And no, I will not wear an IUD. Even if there are ones that do not include hormones. My poor husband married the wrong chick, because I know a whole lot of you biddies take care of the birth control part of your relationship! Shout out to all of you!
The awesome part of this whole experience is that hubs never once complained or said that he didn’t want to go through with it. He actually made a joke that he is going to “toast” his nuts tonight. It’s totally normal to be freaked out to have any sort of doc perform surgery on that area and I am just thankful that he is taking one less thing off of my very full plate. My body cannot go through the pregnancy process again, and I cannot handle another one like my 2 year old!
