vasectomy at 27?

[CommanderShepherd]

Dh and i have been together for 10 years and have a newborn. We had always said we'd have 1 kid. DH is saying he will go for a vasectomy. Is it just me but is that not way too young? I know it's his body but we don't know what the future holds, what if we decide to have another 5 years from now. I have had the implant in the past and happy to have it again. I just don't want him to regret something that could be irreversible in the years to come

And the Depo shot and the implant and the Mini Pill. Yep agree. We should be so grateful that we are expected to take drugs which affect our hormone levels and be expected to keep our weight down as well.

I was sterilised aged 25, i had 3 children and have never regretted it, best thing i ever did.

The first GP i saw wouldnt refer me, so i just saw a different dr at the practice and he was fine about it.

If you know your own mind and are sure, i dont think age matters

Men are treated as if they have minds of their own and are capable of making adult decisions about their reproductive capabilities, basically. And women are not.

Anyway, it's your DH's choice I'm afraid. If he is certain that he doesn't want any more children (and I applaud him for making a responsible choice that doesn't contribute to over-population) then he has the right to go for it. If you want more children, you have the right to end the marriage and look for someone else who also wants that.

I would ask him to wait a year or two. As your newborn grows and turns into a real little person, you may both change your minds and want another . If you are still adamant after a year or two then at least you can be surer of your feelings. I know many couples who want no more until their little one gets older and then they decide to have another
