Just got back from the Doctor. Things have taken an unexpected direction. I told her (the Doctor) that I wanted a vasectomy because I had 3 children and the youngest is 11 and don't want any more. She said did I realize there is a 1/20 risk of severe pain and that it might be easier for W to have a coil fitted instead. I had to explain that W probably would not agree and told her my whole story. She told me that she would have to see W to discuss the vasectomy and that I must persuade W to make an appointment. She will also refer us for Psychosexual counselling. I said that I will go willingly but W might not. She said that she would talk it through with W when she visits. My job now is to get W to go to see the doctor. I feel I must do this at all cost. W might listen to a female doctor and it might just get the ball rolling. If she would agree to have a coil fitted then that would show real commitment but I can only dream about that for now.
