A few weeks ago Gail Rosenblum wrote on her Facebook status - “Gail is writing about vasectomies and trying not to get in trouble at work as she studies online photos. ” Almost instantly her Facebook friends chimed in with snarky remarks. I rubbed my hands together and quickly called her. “When is this article running Gail? This will be oh so - linkable for Cribsheet.” Then she told me it was not going to be about your typical snip snip. This article was going to be about reverse vasectomies.

According to her article: Driving the trend, surgeons say, are remarried couples, mostly in their 30s and 40s like the Hills. Many have children from previous marriages but want to have a child or two together. Other times, long-married couples simply have a change of heart and wish to expand their families. Sometimes, the reason is tragic, such as a couple whose child has died. You can read the complete article here.

Anyone else out there had a reversal? Or anyone else out there - you or your spouse who have had it done and are now second guessing yourself?
