IUD or Vasectomy or ???

[SpringCrane]

We're still not any closer to a decision.

I really do feel done. I've cleared out all my maternity clothes and everything my baby has outgrown so far. With absolute pleasure. This little guy is such an easy baby and I'm still feeling done. ... but the stories of folks feeling done done done and then suddenly becoming desperately broody again is something to consider. If I knew my husband would consider adoption down the road I'd feel a lot more confident with a permanent solution.

I'm still just as unsure about an IUD too. I guess I'm coming to the realization that it's probably worth trying, though.

For those with Mirena, do the skipped periods make you worry about possible pregnancy? My mom got pregnant three times, each time using some form of birth control. One was an ectopic that almost killed her. I've gotten pregnant twice when NTNP... all that makes me worry I'm super fertile and at a greater risk for an IUD ectopic pregnancy!

I'd be cautious too. When I was pregnant with my little one 4 and a half years ago we were absolutely adamant that we would have no more children....the thought made me want to run into traffic hahah. A had 4 within 5 years so its hectic..Dh had a vasectomy 3.5 years ago and 2 years ago I started feeling super broody. I squashed the feelings down and tried to ignore it now I'm at the stage where I'm literally desperate to gag another baby it makes me so emotional to even think about it. My hub is going in for a reversal on Thursday and I'm delighted. It's been a heavy burden for a while now. It's costing £3000 and obviously no guarantee of working. It's a massive decision and I'd hate to think anyone else so end up in my position. I do wish I'd got the coil xxx

This is the reason that I don't want to do anything permanent. I've recently had my third baby and I've always said I wanted 3. Husband wanted 2 or 3, so as far as we and everyone else is concerned, we're all done now. I just can't help wondering if we might change our mind at some point in the future.

Yeah I don't blame you

I honestly can't believe the 360 I've done. I was adamant now I want it more than anything. I'm obssessed and absolutely desperate to be pregnant. If the reversal doesn't work I'll be looking into sperm donation via a clinic . It's the worst thing we ever did x

Thanks honey xxxc hopefully we will get there. I would urge anyone to really really be certain and if you have the slightest doubt go with a less permanent solution xxx

I had the mirena after my son and still got a super heavy period each month and gained 20 lbs on it, a lot was bloat. A couple of weeks after I got it out I dropped 10 lbs so I know it was the cause. We had DD 13 weeks ago and DH had a vasectomy already. I had preeclampsia with both my pregnancies, if we had more it would put my life at risk and I am 37 on top of that, so we are for sure done.

Mac - that's the only sort of situation where I think it's a good idea, the only way I would ever let DH have it done again is if it would be life threatening not to X
