The vasectomy is pretty effective.  They make you bring in 'samples' until your sperm count is down to zero.  It can take a while to get all of them out!  LOL  After it's at zero, no more worries.  :)

Actually the vasectomy is a better option than shot or tubal. If Im not mistaken it makes the male fire blanks for lack of a better term lol

I was on it for 4 years straight and didn't have a period the entire time which was awesome. There are some women though who will bleed continually while on it but from what I understand that mostly happens if you get the shot during your period. I definitely trust it more beocause there is less room for human error and you just have to get a shot every 3 months. A con is it does increase your appetite so you do need to watch how you eat. I didn't gain any weight on it and actually was able to lose weight.

Yea is better I feel more confident with the shot than with any other method.  
@Bree_05_15-In my opinion is a good method if u Breastfeeding it doesn't dry ur milk and It helped me not to get preggo but it depends on u. U should ask ur dctr about it and the other methods. And I forgot to mention that  I dnt get a period at all and I like it because I get some terrible cramps when I have it lol..

I decided on using depo too. That's what I was on before and loved it. I got my shot in the hospital the day I was discharged. That way its in effect when I can start having sex again.
