3.0 out of 5 stars It's tough to go back..., August 26, 2006

While vasectomy may seem like a good idea at the time, warding off irresponsible, or trapping women and wives...often, life leads you to divorce, and eventually the desire to start a family again. After 2 failed (costly) vasovasectomies, we are still trying to decide why we made this decision. A wife with a history a "accidental "pregnancies was ultimately the cause and we will aspriate and continue to try to plan the first child in our family.
Freeze it, bank it and be glad it's there when you finally find the right person.

Find out what you need to know before you need this important procedure that can really help your family stay strong. ...
