Hey everyone!

First post here, really enjoyed reading everyones' posts. My hubby and I were/are booked in for an appointment with the doc for a vasectomy referral tomorrow, since committing to a date to start proceedings my 'googling' has tripled!

Soo many horror stories from men with PVP - post-vasectomy-pain

I would never forgive myself if this happened to my hubby, he's now totally up for it after seeing me suffer years of hormone based madnesss - low libido to nypho - life of the party to major depression. I was actually diagnosed borderline bi-polar last year!

I now realise after a verrry long story that it's all been the hormones, I started at 16 on depo-provera, flitted around with pill and other injection based hormones living in europe for three years, eventually went on the implant when back in the uk and hit MAJOR suicidal depression.

This sent me down the road of Psyche referrals, exploring my past etc... pattern of 3 month manic to depressed etc = Bi-polar 1 O 1...

Looking back, 3 month depo injections! Then the progesterone in the implant finally took me lower than i'd ever been - no more cyclic highs even!

1 year later on the pill and life is good, i'm happy/stable, 'normal' but definite spots (like being 16 again) and bloating.

I've never like the idea of an IUD - maybe a psychic telling me at 16 that I'd have a hysterecomy later in life may have played a part! Now - I don't care, anything but hormones. I just want to know who I am.

I love my hubby for offering to have the 'snip' but i think the risks are still way higher than with an IUD.

Be interested in your opinions... if kids aren't the issue?
