I don't really know where to put this, I know there's a Health section, but it's not really a Health thing and no way I'm going near the Piss Boiler (NE&P) without having jabs first.

My Wife and I have decided that we don't want any more Children for various reasons and my Wife's contraceptive pill is causing a few problems so I've volunteered to have the snip.

So I called the GP to start the procedure - "No Problem Mr. Jay, can you come next Wednesday with your Wife/Partner we'll like to speak to you both". I'm a pragmatic soul really so fair enough we sorted some childcare and popped along, for a chat and everything is okay - referred me to another GP who'll do it, it sounds easy enough.

They asked me to phone them to make an appointment, which I did "No problem Mr. Jay, can you come in 2 weeks with your Wife" - I explained that we'd already both been to see our GP who explained all the details and we were fine, we don't really both need to come as it's difficult with childcare etc blah blah "okay, I'll have to speak to the Doctor, he'll probably call you" Sure enough yesterday evening the Doc calls me "I understand your Wife can't come to the meeting, I know you've both spoken to your GP but I'd like to see you both" -

"Sorry It's not possible" I said, fibbing, but I'm getting annoyed now that we both have to chat to him.

"Does your Wife know you're doing this?"

"Yes, of course"

"okay, but you'll have to take the forms home for you and your wife to sign and return them before I can book the procedure".

What the flip is all that about? I can't imagine any situation where a Women would have to ask for their partners written permission to do anything - that sort of thing went out in the 50s and rightly so, but why the hell have I got to have my wife sign a form to say I can be Jaffered.

If I didn't think it would just end in far more arseache I'd refuse.

Can you imagine the feckin fuss if the Dr insisted on a woman bringing her husband to the surgery when she wanted birth control.

My wife booked me in with our female GP for the snip about fifteen years ago without me being there lol.....I cancelled that appointment on principle

I asked my Dr for the snip, he said great how many kids do you have, I replied none. He said he couldn't refer me as "I may change my mind"

Funny my boss at the time trusted me to make decisions on a multi-million pound project yet I couldn't decide my own fertility. Thankfully Marie Stopes for the sum of £400 treated me like an adult and lasered my plums.

One of the best things i have done, I just wish I had done it at 18 to save some worrying moments.

Strange one that, had the usual questions but no real ballache, not until after the op anyway.

For those that have done it, did it hurt afterwards?

As a single man, my Dr told me there's no way I'd be able to get the snip on the NHS!?

Zollar, it ached a bit for a day or so.

Otis, you still ejaculate if that's what you mean, so yes normal.

It's different for everyone, mine ached for a few weeks, but I took a week of work and by day 2 was fitting a new kitchen and felt fully fit. You do need a good jock strap.

As for the GPs actions I got told to wait 6 months when I first wanted it, because my wife was pregnant with out 3rd, the GP told me that people do change their minds and if we lost that baby it would be too late - which worried me and made me paranoid as my wife has the same GP! The reversal is uncertain and painful, I think they just air on the side of caution. People do change their minds.

Shootage feels exactly the same but without the fear of getting a lady avec bun, I had the afternoon off from work, pain was nothing that a couple of paracetamol couldn't fix. The only disturbing thing about the whole procedure was when I twigged that the burning smell was my plums!

Although I think the marie stopes surgical procedure is different to the NHS one and you get Tea and biscuits at Marie Stopes, and a bonus that you get the chance to run over a anti abortion campaigner on the way in. Well I clipped him and sent his placard flying.

Hang on, you're awake for the procedure?
I think I'd need to be knocked clean out if you were going to play operation with my plumbing.

Nah, you don't, it doesn't really hurt your plums like being kicked in them or something, the weird bit is when they pull the pipe to get some slack on it to tie it off it sort of pulls in you abdomen... it's more odd than painful

Obviously I've not had it done, but the paperwork suggests a bit of 'mild discomfort' - I few years ago I had a plate and 12 screws removed from my arm and fighting the crowds shopping on Xmas Eve the next day so I'm hoping it'll be okay, I'm not 'hard' just too stupid to notice the pain.

The only thing that does bother me is the tests afterwards, I'm going to have to speak to a Nurse / Receptionist and say "well, I've just had a wk, he's the result of it", "yes I've washed my hands".

On the plus side the paperwork also says words along the line of "once able you should ejaculate at least twice a week to ensure all active sperm are out of them system within a proper timeframe" which is a few months surprisingly.

TWICE A WEEK?!? If that's all it takes I'll be empty by breakfast the day the swelling goes down!

I had to take in my girlfriend with me at the time but I had a sensible doctor, I had no kids but he asked if I was 100% sure and I said yes so he booked me in. Like the OP she had medical issues with contraception and he was aware of that so maybe that helped.

I don't want to scare anyone off it but I will mention I had an internal infection after having mine done. Much much swelling, many many doctors and nurses seemed to need to look and a few days in hospital connected to an antibiotic drip. All fine a few weeks later though and no loss of function but I guess sometimes these things do go wrong so you should go in fully informed.
