I had it done after 4 kids, cuz I couldn't trust the wife to take the pill like she agreed to do. Getting neutered was a piece of cake. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. It's not too much worse than having root canal. Just don't try and do too much too soon, that is the key. Have the procedure done on a Thursday, take Friday and the weekend off. Do not do any lifting til the middle or end of the following week. Bags of frozen peas or corn on your crotch, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, for the first few days helps tremendously. Great time to catch up on all those videos you've been wanting to watch.
