[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been married for 3 years.  I'm 33, he is 42.
We do not want children.  We have never wavered on that.
I know that I won't change my mind down the road.  
When we decided to be sexually exclusive prior to marriage, we decided that our birth control would be me taking the pill.
I was 100% fine with that, as I had never had any issues with hormonal birth control.  In the last year, it has done a number on me.
My doctor has tried switching me to different birth control pills, IUD, Depo, etc.
I've had horrid side-effects with each one.  I want to go off of all birth control all together.
I mentioned this to DH and suggested that he get a vasectomy.  He told me that he doesn't want to go through a surgery.
I told him that the only other option was for me to get a tubal ligation, but I don't want to.
I've been poked and prodded so much this year, that the last thing I want to do is go through that.  I also mentioned that condoms are an option and he scoffed at that too.
I can guarantee that DH isn't looking to have children down the road.  He's just squeamish about anyone cutting him in such a delicate area.
I'm pretty pissed that he's not willing to go through with it, but would be fine with me going through it.
It shouldn't all be on me.  Am I wrong here?

No, it shouldn't be, but the only way you know for sure if a procedure was carried out, it's if it's carried out on your body.

Have you talked to your doc about Essure? I'm currently single but that's what I'm getting when I'm in a serious relationship. No kids ever for me, and I want to be darn sure I don't get pregnant from a failed vasectomy.[/quote]
