After a decade, nabuntis ulit si wife. Not planned, 13 and 10 na kids namin e. We got excited and all na. Pero after 13 weeks, we had a miscarriage. We were on auto-pilot for a month, lalo si wife because sunod-sunod ang death sa family this year plus our baby.
So then we decided na mag-family planning ng long term kasi we don't want to go over the emotional trauma of losing a baby and we're okay na with our 2 kids. I think we're old na rin to add one more sa family.
Found out na almost all family planning for women have side effects, especially sa hormones nila. I can't do that to her. Additional stress sa kanya and mentally exhausted na siya.
And then I found out about DKT Philippines Foundation, an NGO na nag-e-educate ng family planning, they offer free No-Scalpel Vasectomy. Magpapa-schedule ka lang. So ayun.
Wala masyado gamutan, anti-biotic lang. Then hahayaan lang gumaling on it's own. Yung procedure ang masakit kahit may anesthesia. Like binayagan na sakit abot hanggang puson at balakang. Pero saglit lang na sakit.
For 2 days after ng procedure, kailangan mo ng masikip na brief kasi ang sakit niya kapag nakalawlaw yung itlog. Parang, as you said, binayagan ng duwende constantly.
