I read some of the comments. Some men posted that they wouldn't to it because it'd hurt. Um, do they even REALIZE the crap we go through on hormonal BC? And do they realize that we go through all that EVERY MONTH just to prevent the ONE DAY a month that we could possible get pregnant? And they're complaining about ONE SHOT in 10 years? Damn, I'm pissed!

It does to me too. They want to cry about 1 stupid injection but we go through hell once a month. Then we go through hell with being on BC's and then we go through hell in child birth! Men are such babies. I'm actually really mad that they somehow found a better birth control for men and yet we're still suffering with the sh*t we have to deal with.

Dearly as I love my husband, I got quite rankled when I told him about this and his reaction was, "shots in the scrotum? no way." I didn't even reply immediately because I was so angry, and then I just quietly pointed out that just for this IUD they'd forced open a hole in my body and shoved a foreign, hormone-dispensing object into a recently operated on organ. That doesn't even count all the years of torture on various pills. But based on his reaction, I guess we'll still be using diaphram or condoms. and I agree--it figures that men can have something with no side effects, no hormones, etc. good lord.

I didn't even mention it to my husband because I know his reaction would piss me the hell off. He knows all too well the hell I have been through with BC's. I'm not even going to go there with him. lol

I'm still convinced BC's for women have permanently affected their fertility. I'm not sure we want to make the men sterile too? But yes some men are babies! My husband is not one of them. He would have done it. He had a vasectomy when we were done having kids and thinks men that don't have them are big sissy's. I think some men would be squeamish initially but so many of them want to be able to run around doing everyone/anytime that I think you would be surprised how many would still opt for this, even with the pain involved. Especially if it was reversible, which a vasectomy is not! I can think of several men who were married previously, got divorced and now are trying to have kids with wife number two but got a vasectomy so are playing the infertility game! I wonder about the "no" side affects too? I'm sure many of our BC's came out with "no" side affects.

I thought a vasectomy was reversible...
'Although men considering vasectomies should not think of them as reversible, and most men and their partners are satisfied with the operation,[25] [26] there is a surgical procedure to reverse vasectomies using vasovasostomy (a form of microsurgery first performed by Earl Owen in 1971[27][28]). Vasovasostomy is effective at achieving pregnancy in only 50%-70% of cases, and it is costly, with total out-of-pocket costs in the United States often upwards of $10,000[29] The rate of pregnancy depends on such factors as the method used for the vasectomy and the length of time that has passed since the vasectomy was performed. The reversal procedures are frequently impermanent, with occlusion of the vas recurring two or more years after the operation. After reversal, sperm counts and motility are usually much lower than pre-vasectomy levels. There is evidence that men who have had a vasectomy may produce more abnormal sperm, which would explain why even a mechanically successful reversal does not always restore fertility.[30][31] The higher rates of aneuploidy and diploidy in the sperm cells of men who have undergone vasectomy reversal may lead to a higher rate of birth defects'
Sorry, just my Dad had one and was effing and blinding and then I wound him up about a reversal!

I wonder about the "polymer" that is injected. Having read about the dangers of plastics, I'm not sure it is a good idea to inject it right.next.to the hormone production site in a male.
My hubby said he'd do it. Fortunately for him it is not available in the US.
