Hi, I know how you are feeling, my husband is getting a vasectomy in January due to the same things, I can't do the hormones anymore, I am still not recovered from the mirena 31 days out, I think my fear comes from a couple places, one we are still young 26 and 27, we have 2 boys, I would love a girl! #2 God forbid anything happened to me, that would not give him a good chance at having anymore children if he were to find someone else (as much as I hate saying that), and #3 I do not like seeing him in any pain, it causes me to be physically ill too. But Our husbands are doing it so we do not have to deal with all of the hormonal side effects, my husband jokes with me about this whole situation, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, he did NOT want me to get the mirena he wanted to get the vasectomy because he knows I am not good on hormones, so he tells me it is Gods way of teaching me to listen to him the next time!!!lol
