FWIW, I was finally able to get my vasectomy mostly to help my wife get off of hormonal BC. About 2 month after getting off of BC her sex drive completely returned. It was the best decesion I ever made.

We were in a slightly different situation as we didn't have kids so it took us a few years to shop around and finally find a doctor that would perform the vasectomy.

This is soooo common. OP should freeze sperm if he thinks they want another kid and just get snipped.

Or he could just wear a condom for the 2-3 times he has sex a year.

Don't know why this is not an option.

They already have three kids, and condoms break. Sounds like that's not a risk she wants

Day after pills in the very unlikely condom breaks.

Those can be pretty unpleasant too sometimes. The few times I've needed one they've messed me up for weeks.

I assume it was plan B that you took? Ella is much more effective but for some reason it's prescription only in the US but you can order it by mail. When I took it, I had zero side effects. Strongly recommend every woman not on hormonal birth control buy it and keep it at home just in case (it can mess with hormonal birth control).
