Vasectomy

Hi girls.
so i've been denied my tube-tying much to my annoyance - i'm under 35 and apparently I might want more kids.. not bloody likely tbh, but anyway, now we're looking for somewhere in CHCH that does vasectomies! Has anyones hubbies had this done down here and can give advice? Like, how much does it cost etc etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I dont want to go on the pill, cant afford implants/IUD etc so the snip is the best option for us - and yes, he agrees! hehe.

TIA :D

$360 isnt too bad considering the ongoing cost of contraception! Thanks for that :D i'll talk to my MW when i see her next :D

Kent just had his done about 4 mths ago in wgtn and it cost $350 dollars...done by laser and in and out within about 20mins

they will be able to recommend someone for yah

Glad your DH agrees. My Dad managed to scare the cr@p out of my DH by telling him his horror story from when he got his Theres probably 5 guys in NZ who have had bad vasectomies and one of them HAS to be my Dad....

(Part of it was he didn't know about the magic pill they put up his bum lol. He went home and exercised. Then drank a few beers cos he felt fine, then him and Mum had to eewwwww check it still worked the next morning and then the next 3 days he couldn't walk LOL. Apparently he was bruised down to his knees and up to his belly button)

Hey call family planning and they should send you in the right direction. I am looking into IUD's. If we go copper then it is free if we do mirena it is $300 and something. So if money is tight this might be an option. Family planning should know about vasectomies as well.

My step-dad has been trying to scare him about his bad vasectomy as well (20 years ago) but Matt doesnt care, he said anything is better than an unwanted pregnancy and he's so right. We had a good laugh this afternoon reading up about the prep for the surgery - he's got to shave all his pubes off so he said would I help. Course I will - i'll happily get the wax out bwhaha!

Kent didnt have to shave at all, but as i said he had it done by laser, not with a scapel, so make sure you check all the options.

kent took 20mins, done saturday morning, back at work monday morning, apart from the drugs they gave him on the day and i think 2 doses of panadol, he was all good

DH had his done in January at Men's Medical on Fitzgerald Ave, costing him about $360.

But totally worth it - as we are all in the clear now! Woop woooop!
