I went for my annual yesterday.. and I decided to get an IUD. Any stories about BC would be fun to listen to. Here is mine... (not sure if its funny or if I should be concerned)
I called the hubby to tell him I was thinking about getting an IUD, and he gets real excited(happy) and says.. do you need me to stay at home with Ella, You may need some extra help, are you sure ect... I laugh and think to myself "Oh yeah.. I could totally milk this one" i say.. Well the dr. said there may be some cramping(If you can deliver a kid "naturally" with drugs, of course, I think you can do anything)
Anyway.. then he comes out with "I had been thinking about getting a vesectomy"
I WAS SHOCKED! I had a really difficult pregnancy ( was in the hospital three months before Ella was born, IT STUNK!!, I was also very very mean.. my hormones got the better of me)
I have said that I think having one baby was enough for us.. but I think that a vesectomy is SO Extreme! It made me sooo pissy to think he had been thinking about this and not discussing it with me.
My hormones are so out of control still(WHEN WILL IT END) I think I want another little baby.. but not for a couple of more years.

At least he did tell you he had been thinking about it, and you can discuss what you want to do down the road.
If you are thinking of wanting another baby down the road I would tell him to hold off. Getting "fixed" should only be considered when both of you are sure that you don't want to have any more kids. In the meantime, find a birth control that works well for you that way if/when you decide to try for another baby you can just get off the BC and go for it. I'm sure your DH wouldn't have gone in for something so extreme without talking to you about it first. Him thinking about it might have just meant it was a thought that crossed his mind.
