No offense against you or anything, and I do commend you for thinking about it to begin with, but it really pisses me off when guys whine about even having to discuss it with their wives. I know that I have always been the one to have to take care of the birth control, and it has caused me a lot of problems. Allergic to latex, weight gain from the shot, and a list of others. Plus, it is the women who get pregnant, the women who have to go through labor, and the women that go through all the post-labor crap like the post-partem depression, screwed up cycles, and breastfeeding, which I hear is not that fun.
Don't get me wrong here, I am not a person who gets all worked up over things like women's lib and not wearing a bra. It just makes me mad that society puts almost all of the responsibility on the women when it comes to having sex, which leaves the men to have the fun and not worry.
Once again, I commend you for even looking into getting a vascetomy. Don't look at this as me bashing you, but as me ranting about the shortcomings of modern society.
Where your question fits into this- either way you look at it, one of you, you or your wife, are going to have some hormonal changes. I think that the best way to look at it is to ask which method is the more effective, which method is more reversible, just incase, and which method fits into both of your life plans. And of course, ask a doctor.
Also, since you are both under 30, there are some long term non-hormonal forms of contraceptive that are not permanant. These include implants and UTI's. Just make sure you go over all the options.
