I’ve never wanted kids, it’s just not my thing. I’ve been thinking about getting a vasectomy for quite a while now, and I finally decided to take the next step. I called a clinic, went in for a consultation, and the doctor explained everything thoroughly. My procedure is scheduled for a little over two weeks from today. My family is strongly against it. They believe I’ll change my mind as I get older and end up regretting it.
I think you are making the right decision for you. I have watched a lot of people struggle after having children they did not plan for. If you know you are not and likely will never be interested in having children, getting a vasectomy is right for you.
That being said, if things change down the road, you can always foster, adopt, or attempt to have the vasectomy reversed – the last option is not guaranteed though.
