Vasectomy Support Group

I have had nothing BUT regret over having that infernal surgery. It feels as if I have had my most basic function as a man taken from me. I do not feel like a whole man any longer. I feel resentment because I am so ashamed at what has been done to my body. I will NEVER tell anyone I know about it, and as a result I feel as if I'm walking around with an "I have a secret" sign stapled to my forehead. I should have perhaps done a bit more research before I went through with it; I found out after the fact that my MAIN reason was among the best reasons a man should NOT have it done. I did not have it done for myself. I had it done so my wife could stop taking birth control. And while I love my wife dearly and do not blame her in the least, I wish I had never had the procedure. I even told the doctor outright at the consultation that "I don't want to have this done. I DESPISE that I'm having this done" (this is verbatim)and he did not so much as suggest that perhaps I ought to give it some more thought. All he did was plow ahead, praising it as a great form of birth control over all others.

Unfortunately, I did not listen to my gut feeling; I forced myself to go through with it. I convinced myself that I was just experiencing feelings similar to what any man would reasonably experience while contemplating such a procedure. When it comes down to it, a man's body was never meant to be surgically altered in this manner, and yes, I have already scheduled my reversal. (The original procedure was done last July 7th.)

Do I want more children? Never.

I can say with all certainty that I would rather practice abstinence for the rest of my natural life than stay vasectomized. There are reliable, natural methods of birth control that I highly recommend you look into. It's what my wife and I will be doing once I've had my reproductive system put back in proper working order.

If you have ANY doubts AT ALL about this procedure, DON'T do it. Explore ALL your other options first. I plan to steer as many men away from vasectomy as I possibly can. Hope this has helped you in your decision-making process.

at the pig picking we had I asked my husband did he regret it. He looked around at the eight kids we have and the 11 grand kids and said "HELL NO" I love the ones we have but wouldn't take a billion dollars for any more.
If anyone regrets it, and only at times, it would be me. I think its a woman thing, but when all the grand children are here, I thank God we didn't have any more

yes, I really regret it. would have a reversal however the doc removed my epidimyis trying to treat this constant pain.

No regrets, zip none. Glad to not have to worry about it. Made sex SO much better and my wife didn't die of a stroke because of BC Pills. No kids here and glad. We're all just different I guess.....

He yes I have a regret - 15 years later my wife has died and I would like to have another family - have to get a reversal! Otherwise no regrets, initially painful but Ok ever since.
