Birth Control
"Hillary Israeli" wrote in message ... "all the way down" to where? Surely he couldn't have trimmed them so that they were shorter than flush with the opening of the cervix, unless he dilated your cervix? Because you can't open scissors inside the cervical canal really. Oh ouch it hurts to think of it... I think they're flush. I know that neither of us can feel them at all anymore, but I also remember him saying that he didn't need the strings to be able to remove it. I don't remember clearly right now. Jess |

Just wondering. Because mine were flush with the opening of the os, and that resulted in knifelike stabbing pains on my poor husband! I ended up having it removed (he just used alligator forceps or something to grab the bit that he could reach) which was no big deal, and Berlex provided another one for free, so, it all worked out in the end. -- Hillary Israeli, VMD Lafayette Hill/PA/USA/Earth "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

There's always abstinence. ...which is probably a thousand times worse for a marriage than being coerced (because I'm not actually planning on getting him drunk and taking him to the clinic to get a V against his will, in spite of how I, apparently, sound) into having a V. Hmm. I've been thinking about this a lot though not posting this far, and I think it really is a question of who controls what (as Circe I think said). I think you have a right to refuse to modify your body by drugs or insertions or whatever - and I *completely* see your point that what with being in charge of contraception for years and having children you'll have done your bit anyway! I think you have a right to refuse to have sex. I don't think you have a right to tell someone else to modify his body. So I think one way to present it would be: "I'm not willing to handle contraception any more. I'm not willing to have unprotected sex." (Optional: "And I don't think the reliability of condoms is high enough, so I'm not willing to have sex protected only by a condom, either.") "So unless you handle contraception, the natural consequence will be no [vaginal!] sex. Your choice." That's an ultimatum. Which is no better than "suck it up you have to do it," but suggets the woman does not want/like sex anyway. Is that normal? Withholding sex is not good for a marriage, IMNSHO. And besides, it would really suck. Why not discuss and come to a compromise both can live with? |

That's Amy's posting style. She is very aggresive and humerous at the same time. Although, I will say that every time vasectomy is mentioned, people do get all up in arms. It's like some cannot even comprehend that some parents are done having children and really do not want anymore, no matter what. Having children is not the be all and end all. There are other things in life. -- Sue (mom to three girls) |
