I had mine 14 years ago 100% free all thanks to Plan Parenthood. No pain for me and I was back in action after 5 days. Wife at time had no problem giving me the 20 our so releases I needed to make sure I was clesn of active sperm.

So after doctors said I was clean said goodbye to condoms and never been freeier.

They say you can get easily reverse so see no reason why women should suffer under a horrible surgery and be out of action for 6 to 8 weeks. When it takes 30 minutes and all well in 5 days.

Fyi mine also done here in Oklahoma but Tulsa area. I had to wait only 2 months for a slot.

They say you can get easily reverse

That's not true, reversal is much more invasive and not guaranteed to work

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It doesn't really matter. They can just get sperm from your testicles instead of trying to reverse it.

Yeah I got warned it wasn’t a 100% reversible.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Yeah when I got it done, my doctor told me to consider this as permanent procedure even though it is possible to reverse it. They want you to make this decision without the idea that a reversal is quick and easy or even possible

[–] Fredselfish 7 points 1 year ago

They told me it be less likely that I could reproduce the longer I had it but I was assured it was easily reversed. Not that matter I am not interested in having any more kids.

I was told it is also less likely to succeed the longer you've had it. Relying on reversals is a less than ideal plan.

I was more upset that I had to wait the full 6 months to test, but it didn't matter since I failed the first time anyway...

I'm just extra fertile I guess, I failed my first test but passed after that.

I can't say I'm surprised tho, considering my mom used to joke about being conceived while on the pill, so I guess that's genetic XD
