my husband had his vasectomy 6 months ago so that i could get my mirena iud removed. i have to admit that i cried a little at the last minute. we have three wonderful children, i could not imagine having a fourth. i think i cried because a vasectomy is so final. he is the only man i plan to spend my life with, so that means no more children. i think about my children growing up and wonder if they will move away and if i will be lonely without them under our roof. mirena to me was the next best thing to my husband having a vasectomy done. mirena was supposed to be simple to remove just in case we wanted another one. a vasectomy is kind of like a period at the end of the sentence. it means no more babies, ever. i think we all like having choices. i think panic is normal, its such a big decision.
