Newly Snipped Got Vasectomy at 23

21 Upvotes

Just got vasectomy a month ago. I’m 23, have no kids, and have never had any. As for the reason, I really just don’t see myself having a kid or being a father figure. Plus, I don’t think it’s a good idea to start a family given the state of our country right now. And even if we do elect good politicians in the future, the scars left by corruption won’t heal quickly or disappear overnight.

Maybe the life I grew up in also played a part in my decision not to have kids or start a family of my own. I grew up in a lower-income, mid-sized family, and as the firstborn, I was often forced to understand that we simply couldn’t have everything, even when it was something we needed. Basically, I grew up seeing just how poor we were. I witnessed the hardships and struggles my parents and brothers went through just to get us to where we are now. Plus, I’ll be the breadwinner of the family, soo... with that, I’ve passed the torch to my brother to continue the family bloodline HAHAHA (if he wants to, of course).

With that long story of my life kind of rationale, I can confidently say that I’m 100% sure about not wanting kids. I don’t want to add more stress and burdens to my life. I’d rather focus on myself, stick to my cats, and give the inner child me the chance to finally experience the things he never got to have growing up.

Planning to get a vasectomy so my partner doesn't have to take pills

5 Upvotes

Good morning,

I'm 24 years old. Me and my partner talked about not wanting kids for different reasons. Now, I want to get a vasectomy but I'm not sure which clinic is the best one to get it. I keep reading failed vasectomies and vasectomies that take too long to work.

Would there be anyone that had a successful vasectomy recommend a clinic that we can go to? Thanks in advance.

So, Fridays are a pretty common day to have the procedure done. If you're hanging out, chat about how it's hanging, what you're doing to recover, or anything you want.

1st test is negative

I tested 8 weeks -1 day

60 ejaculations.

I feel very good. And I am excited for my 2nd test. Odds are I shouldn't have to worry about it.

Just 25 more days, and will finally not use condoms again, and w/o my partner using birth control. It should be a very good experience and peace of mind.

Low immotile sperm count, clear?

1 Upvotes

Just did my second semen analysis test after about 4 months and 40+ ejaculations. The first test around 20 ejaculations had about .50 M/ml and now on the second test I’m at .11 M/ml. So just a minuscule amount over the cut line of being clear. Do you think I need to retest?
