To be pissed off with the doctor?

[YoureAllABunchOfBastards]

DH went to see the doctor regarding a vasectomy. Both late 40s, two kids, been together forever.

Doctor has done her best to dissuade him, saying things might change, and sent him home with a leaflet for me on birth control. I haven't used hormonal contraception for several years as it made me feel lousy.

She has sold it to him on the grounds that it will help my peri symptoms....

AIBU to be more than slightly annoyed?

Did she suggest you have a lap steri instead

Yes. Mine did.

You are also relying on what your husband said

Again, no. In mine and all of my friends who experienced this it was a double appointment with both present - an apparent requirement where we are to request a vasectomy.

They don't do vasectomies on the NHS where I am any more you have to go privately

The OP's husband went alone. I clearly can't comment on you and ALL your friends.
12,000 men had a vasectomy in the UK last year.

YANBU
The NHS is not set up with women's interests or care as a consideration, we are merely here to breed until a time we can't anymore.
I have been arguing with GPs for years now to allow me to have surgery I know the risks, but am desperate. I nearly died having my ds, I have periods that rule my entire month, constant pain every month and vomiting during ovulation and they do not care. I've been asking since 26, was told I was too young, come back at 30. Did that told no, you're not married. Now am married, been with DH 20 years, 38 years old. Still no. If I want it I have to pay. I can't take the pill due to health issues.
I know there are cuts, but it seems women's health care takes the brunt. And your partner agreeing to step up and have the snip doesn't fit in with the attitude that we must never admit to not wanting children.

Absolutely disgusting and sexist as fuck!

No vasectomies in my health trust these days, private only.

A friend remarried had his vasectomy reversed his wife then had twins which was a bit of a surprise so a vasectomy is reversible.

İ went to the gp about a diaphragm to be told we don't do them any more. No one here knows how to fit them. So i said ok maybe a copper coil then as i dont want any hormones at all. He says oh well we fit way more Morena than copper. Why don't you try Morena. İ say no is there any other option other than the pill... Not really it's all hot ones but it will stop your periods with this pill. İ said yeah that's great but i want a period. I'm done having children and i would like to not panic every month when my period doesn't come... Looks at me like I've grown a head. İ just want to feel normal again. L hormonal contraception makes me feel wrong.
But noooo still on the pill

You have no reason to be annoyed, as they all say on here, not your body, not your choice. The GP has to make sure he is 100% sure this is the right thing for HIM, and not being coerced into it, or because he feels under pressure too. Family's split up, meet new partners etc, their dynamics change, and they may want to start s family, I understand why you are annoyed, but YABU given it's not your choice,
