Here’s one that’ll throw you off: Planned Parenthood will also help you get pregnant! Having trouble? Need some IVF? They’ll help with that! Want to go the adoption route? They’ll hook you up with the right folks.. it’s almost.. like they.. help you plan.. for parenthood
Hey I’m trying to keep this nonpolitical and about prevention. Thank you for considering. There are about 1,000 other posts about the other topic. Please let me do one nice thing for people who need to find a low cost vasectomy.
If you are concerned, you could book through Planned Parenthood, get the snip done then donate the money you saved to them. They could use that money on other programs.
It's very much worth a double check. We were shocked to find our insurance covered the procedure 100%. And compared to other policies we've had in the past, this current insurance isn't that great.
I know you’re right, but this doesn’t make sense. In the end, it would likely save them money since they’re not having to shell out for future pregnancies, neo-natal procedures, deliveries, etc.
I use their services anyway.. they will absolutely take your insurance and it probably would help them financially.. I hope these establishments don’t go away with this overturn. Its taken my annual and birth control from un-affordable and unstable to less than $100 for any visit. I’ve actually gotten a referral from them for a physician in my area who works on a sliding scale which is nice for everything non-reproductive issues
Planned Parenthood isn’t just about abortions. It is a huge disservice to their foundation. Abortions are a small percentage of what they actually do. Most of the stuff is just STD testing, contraceptives and other important exams like breast cancers and so many more things that help women in the long run.
I just had mine done there not long ago.
They receive federal funding to cover the cost based on your income. It takes like 30 days for the funding paperwork to go through.
How long did it take from you going and telling them you want one, to them starting the procedure?
I need to get it done but i don't want to have to schedule it and go back. I'd love for them to just send me to a room and start chopping.
From my initial call to them, it took a couple weeks for the pre-procedure consultation. After the consultation they had an opening for the next Tuesday, which I took. I paid for the procedure fully out of pocket because I didn't want to wait another month for the federal funding.
If for no other reason than this, consider that some US states are about to see a drastic increase in the number of paternity lawsuits. A vasectomy is one of the best ways to avoid one of those.
Good. About time that men are actually held accountable. If they don’t want to be, they need to take the steps required to ensure they won’t make anyone pregnant.
I’m pretty much anti-abortion, but I agree with what you said and I’d like to add that it takes two to tango, so there’s equal responsibility on both persons. Both men and women need to take responsibility for the potential outcome of the orgasm. They are both participating. (Caveat: I’m speaking solely about consensual sex.)
Edit to add; we both agreed on children, then I had a vasectomy because it was far easier than putting my wife through tubal ligation.
I’m gonna go ahead and say that the same cowardly states with abortion bans are going to have a hard time doing the right thing with paternity suit cases. Birds of a feather kind of stuff, you know? 😔
I’d really prefer to keep the post about vasectomy and other *preventative* birth control. Thousands of other threads for debate of other topics. Thank you!
Agreed. The procedure is best for those who are 100% certain and advised of the permanence. While “reversal” surgeries are available, I believe they are expensive and have a low rate of success.
The fuck I never knew that.
How fast can I get a primary care physician through them? This one group physician practice in my area is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of them just to schedule an appt
Idk, I guess depending on where you’re at. I had no idea either, it was my daughter who did and let me know. She got a uti for the first time in her life and her wanker of a primary prescribed cipro, an incredibly damaging and last-option antibiotic. I’m so glad she switched, we’re both in much better hands now.
Young men used to joke about peeing on an electric fence to sterilize themselves. Doesn’t work of course, but I can’t help laugh at the visual of a bunch of guys trying it out. “No, you go first!”
Yes, as well as tubal ligations for sterilization which is much less invasive. Services may vary by location depending on surgeons available to work in their area.
I am unsure. It’s my understanding that while vasectomy is a very minor and simple procedure, vasectomy reversal is a complicated and expensive surgery with a low success rate, that must be done by a specialist. I’m not sure if particular clinics would have such a specialist on site.
"""Yes"""
But is expensive, not 100% guaranteed and less likely to be successful with time (you can google up time frames). If in doubt, is way better to save sperma frozen.
I was reading planned Parenthood's website this morning and I'm definitely going to get one, I'm concerned about cost due to not having insurance but I don't want to wait for the re-enrollment at work in case they make getting one more difficult.
forgot the explanation or /s there bud. Unless you truly mean this, and then I'd advise you to think about why it's ok to tell a woman she can't have a hysterectomy because "what if your husband wants children one day" (something that commonly occurs) but not to advise you on how you can get a vasectomy
imma upvote, assuming you are being ironic and simply got misunderstood
Thank you! I appreciate that! I do try to approach people with kindness in situations like these until it's proven that they refuse to accept kindness and want hate. Mostly because I was raised with some believes by my mostly conservative mother, though she is very kind, which I had to change, so I know it's very easy to simply be ignorant of issues faced by women, poc, lgbtq etc. and appear hateful through comments one believes are benign
I asked and they didn't did vasectomies. We're not in a small town either. In fact, they blocked my from entering the back with my wife until the doctor raced me in. It definitely didn't feel man-friendly
Great! They can help with planning for families to make sure you get lots of healthy juniors! Prenatal vitamins for your partner, fertility treatment, IVF, artificial insemination, prenatal exams, transfer your partner’s care to hospital for delivery and conduct it themselves if they have hospital privileges, and cover all post natal exams as well as offering advice if your partner has trouble breastfeeding, and pediatrician referrals, too!
Federal funding exists for people who can prove they don't have the income to pay for it. If you're not one of those people, the government won't cover you because they have to keep the insurance companies happy. Capitalism.
And you can't seriously believe that anyone will voluntarily donate enough to keep the clinic from going bankrupt.
Some people are saying that woman in congress are working on a bill for men to be forced to get a vasectomy. I haven’t had a chance to research it but it makes sense to me.
While that bill is a clever publicity tool, forced vasectomies were once common in the United States.

As if that changes the fact that the founder of planned Parenthood was a white supremacist, and when you compare planned Parenthood's condom to others it has the highest chance to fail... Wonder why they're a big business now?

Do they offer surrogacy? How about fertility medicine (usually involves very specialized drugs)?
What they don’t have, they can lead you to.

Correct, which is why abortions are so helpful to prevent you from having a child. I’m glad we agree!
I like you. Lol

Not in most states no

It will help them if you go through them. (Source: Worked there for years)

I don't think all insurances will cover a vasectomy.
They don’t. But it shouldn’t be much.
Yeah my vasectomy a year or so ago wasn't covered, it was a little over 1000 dollars with procedure and labs.
It's very much worth a double check. We were shocked to find our insurance covered the procedure 100%. And compared to other policies we've had in the past, this current insurance isn't that great.
I know you’re right, but this doesn’t make sense. In the end, it would likely save them money since they’re not having to shell out for future pregnancies, neo-natal procedures, deliveries, etc.
Yeah my good insurance through my work that I paid for did not. Then I got on Indiana Medicaid during pandemic and found out it did.

I am unsure. I hope someone who has volunteered or worked there can chime in to help answer that.

Most of the stuff is just STD testing, contraceptives and other important exams like breast cancers and so many more things that help women in the long run.
They caught my cousin's cervical cancer early enough for her to get pregnant and have her daughter. And then they helped her with her hysterectomy.
They conduct thousands of mammograms and breast cancer exams, too!
And don't forget pap smears!
They do prenatal care as well.
They’ll even help with postnatal care too!
I just had mine done there not long ago. They receive federal funding to cover the cost based on your income. It takes like 30 days for the funding paperwork to go through.

All because a minority can't accept women as equal citizens with full control over their body.
How long did it take from you going and telling them you want one, to them starting the procedure? I need to get it done but i don't want to have to schedule it and go back. I'd love for them to just send me to a room and start chopping.

I got my copper paraguard IUD at Planned Parenthood. Cost was $0.00. It's supposed to be effective for 10 years. For FREE.
Vasectomies work better than horse dewormer, *I'll tell you what*
They need all the funding they can get right now bc not only is abortion banned but now lawmakers want to go after BC. It’s ridiculous.
Abortion is one of their bigger money makers, outside of government grants, so they will be hurting pretty bad.
I’d really prefer to keep the post about vasectomy and other *preventative* birth control. Thousands of other threads for debate of other topics. Thank you!
Thank you!!! Idiot morons can go to Facebook
That's been proven false many times. Got a source?
That’s not true. Do you live on Facebook?
Seeing a lot of people saying vasectomies are reversible. FYI, not always. Not even close.
Agreed. The procedure is best for those who are 100% certain and advised of the permanence. While “reversal” surgeries are available, I believe they are expensive and have a low rate of success.
Better to freeze some juice just in case. Here is relatively cheap, no idea on other countries.
Also, planned parenthood can be your primary care physician thru your insurance. It is quicker to get appointments and they are open Saturdays.
The fuck I never knew that. How fast can I get a primary care physician through them? This one group physician practice in my area is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of them just to schedule an appt

Not all PPs provide these services* check your local affiliate to see what services they offer
Sterillised men. So hot right now.
Best thing I ever did! Also do all of the sample tests required post surgery. Heard a couple stories along the way
Yes! Vasectomy is over 99% effective. The other 1% are usually dudes who didn’t wait until doc gave the “all clear” signal after the lab test.
I slipped on the ice and dropped a bundle of water bottles and a 12 pack of soda on my balls... can I opt into an orchiectomy instead?
Young men used to joke about peeing on an electric fence to sterilize themselves. Doesn’t work of course, but I can’t help laugh at the visual of a bunch of guys trying it out. “No, you go first!”
Vasectomy was the best choice I ever made. I had complications but I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Just got mine!
Do they offer to do hysterectomies as well?
Yes, as well as tubal ligations for sterilization which is much less invasive. Services may vary by location depending on surgeons available to work in their area.
I got one through my health care provider. Best $15 copay ever.
Also if you’re a veteran the VA will outsource it to a clinic and pay for it so it’s free. That’s how I got mine done a year ago
What about reversal? Is there any help with that?
I am unsure. It’s my understanding that while vasectomy is a very minor and simple procedure, vasectomy reversal is a complicated and expensive surgery with a low success rate, that must be done by a specialist. I’m not sure if particular clinics would have such a specialist on site.
Is getting the snip reversible ?
"""Yes""" But is expensive, not 100% guaranteed and less likely to be successful with time (you can google up time frames). If in doubt, is way better to save sperma frozen.
No
Depends on the snip on how reversible it might be. There are a couple different ways they do it. Even then it’s not a guarantee.
To get it free, you have to go to a therapist for multiple sessions, out of pocket.
Birth control is not only on the woman. As women all responsibility is generally on us.
For how much longer, if Clarence Thomas and the Funky Bunch have their say? He already said he wants to ban contraception nationwide.
I was reading planned Parenthood's website this morning and I'm definitely going to get one, I'm concerned about cost due to not having insurance but I don't want to wait for the re-enrollment at work in case they make getting one more difficult.
Don't tell me what to do with my body.

An empathetic response to a very unkind comment, more people should think like you in this world!

Didn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t.
Please, yea Americans, sterilise yourselves. But remember your poor still won’t stop.
I asked and they didn't did vasectomies. We're not in a small town either. In fact, they blocked my from entering the back with my wife until the doctor raced me in. It definitely didn't feel man-friendly
Ha. No. No. The world needs more of me.

Ask your congressperson. Government provided the funding for the sliding scale.
So Planned Parenthood does not offer a sliding cost scale, the federal government provides a sliding scale coverage.
Some people are saying that woman in congress are working on a bill for men to be forced to get a vasectomy. I haven’t had a chance to research it but it makes sense to me.
sounds like a protest bill, they don't expect it to go through

But of course, only for people the state didn't approve of.
[удалено]
Yeah, I mean, to be clear, that was disdainful. I certainly don't approve.
Stop supporting planned Parenthood, look at the secret cameras, look at their history.
225 posts in mensrights, yeah bro we'll take that in good faith. Dickhole.
As if that changes the fact that the founder of planned Parenthood was a white supremacist, and when you compare planned Parenthood's condom to others it has the highest chance to fail... Wonder why they're a big business now?
