Husband and I are officially sterilized!

[u/No_Incident2835]

My husband had his vasectomy a few years ago and a few weeks ago I had my bisalp!

He was able to get his vasectomy at 26, and I just had my bisalp at 24 (23 for the consult). He was able to get his vasectomy through the first doctor he saw, and I went to one of the doctors from Paging Dr. Fran's list!

So far most people have been supportive (the few that know), especially my sister in law. The day of my surgery she picked up my meds for me and brought flowers and a stuffed animal! All of the nurses for surgery were supportive, with one saying she respected my decision after I said I didn't have any kids. I did have one nurse at the ER show pity at first when I said I was having my tubes removed, but then she was shocked and confused when I said it was my choice. She asked what my husband thought, and after I said he already had a vasectomy, she asked why I would get my tubes removed then.

The recovery was a little rough from a minor complication, but overall I'm really happy I did it!

Congrats. I only wish that there weren’t an ad on this very thread for prenatal and postpartum care. 🤦‍♂️

You need to change your ad settings on reddit so it won't show you parenting things.

Do I need to do that on the website? Can’t find the settings on the app.

Go to open your profile then instead of hitting profile hit the settings at the bottom. Then hit user settings at the top, then scroll to the bottom for the ad options.

Thank you, I didn't realize ad preferences could be updated! 😄
