Got mine right after the birth of the third child. My doctor gave me a script for 3 valiums to be taken one hour before the ‘no scalpel’ procedure. (It was outpatient). Hell, by the time I got to the office I would have dropped my drawers in the waiting room. Don’t remember much after that except that the lovely and young! nurse put on a Batman band-aid on the wound at the end. Three days later I was good to go, so to speak. ---

A couple that I knew several years ago decided to stop with two children. The hubby went in for the snip, and life went on as normal. Several months later the wife came up pregnant. Dismayed, the couple calls the doctor’s office. The reply they got was something like “yeah, we found out thru post procedure testing that the vasectomy didn’t work. We tried to call a couple of times, but there was never anyone home, so we just gave up.” I don’t know all the sordid details, but I’m pretty sure they proved that the baby was in fact, the husband’s progeny. I am appalled at the thought of the doctor’s office NOT making sure the poor guy knew he was firing live ammo! ---

**handy** You said > [@](#): > > We bought a house. A few months later a letter came to the old owners from his vasectomy clinic asking him to come in for a look see. Thus, we find out he had a vasectomy. Funny. When mail gets mis-delivered to me, I usually just write “not at this address” and give it back to the mailman. But I suppose I could always open it first. Thanks for the tip. :rolleyes: I got snipped after three kids. Never a complication. Took next day off work, no ice. No pain. But that doesn’t mean I want to go back for a second. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*Did you use the _Acme Home Vasectomy Kit[sup]TM[/sup]_, or did you do it the sissy way? \*\* Back in college a birth control pamphlet was going around describing the different methods of birth control…you know the drill… Under vasectomy “do not have a vasectomy without consulting your doctor.” (What’s in your Home Vasectory Kit? Ours came with a fifth of Jack Daniels, a razor blade and some thread.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vasectomy-stories/75044.md?page=2)
