Cut and tied off too close to the testicle thus irritating that nerve bundle. Further surgery ain't happening. Bastards

Damn. That sucks. Really sorry that happened to you...I can't imagine how awful that must be. I would have sued his ass.
You're awfully young to say "never" at this point, and the fact that you have even allowed in your percentages the possibility of unsure means I'd highly suggest something a little less permanent.
The IUD is a highly effective means of contraception, that is 100% removable and reversible if desired.
At 31 I had my tubes tied, and a hysterectomy 3 months later. That's permanent! I have two kids, and I'm 110% positive I do NOT want any more, so for me that permanency is fine, but even at 31 with two kids I was highly counseled by my docs as to the implications of my decision. I'm fine with it, but I'm a lot older than you (37 now), and I already have two kids.
Don't do something permanent unless you're 100% okay with it. Supposedly vasectomies are reversable, but it's best to not count on that. And yes, it is a medical procedure with all the POSSIBLE complications that can go along with it.
Have your wife look into an IUD. It might be a good option.

I thought one of the worst parts was dropping off the goods for testing two weeks later. "Here's a little something from me to you..."

I know you hate hearing this, because I hated hearing this, but let me tell you how it went for my wife and I.
We got married when we were 26, and my wife was VERY AGAINST having kids. I was so so, but sure as heck didn't want them right away.
Fast forward 3 years. One day, we both woke up and it was like a switch had been flipped. We quite literally went from our respective positions of "HELL NO" and "meh" to "HOLY CRAP WE NEED A BABY YESTERDAY!"
I know you say it won't happen to you, but frankly, I was amazed at how quickly that desire to not have kids turned into our daughter.
I'd wait another 10 years and then pull the trigger, but that's just me. As soon we're done having kids, I'm getting snipped.

I think Kramer and Newman got it done during one episode of Seinfeld, but then got it reversed. But I remember they were in some pain.
That's some solid medical advice right there......

Don't be in a hurry - there's always time to have the procedure after a possible change of mind. And with more than one-third of marriages ending in divorce (perhaps higher among pilots?), a new partner just might have different ideas.
When the time is right, your surgery is a much simpler procedure than her surgery would be.

Having had both a tubal ligation AND a hysterectomy (separate procedures) I can assure you this is true!

Mine do, but that's because I only take advice from pilots and exclude all other data on issues of marriage, quantum physics, healthy eating, legal issues, climate science, religion, and abortion rights.

Pasta.
But men don't have to take any hormones post vasectomy. Hormones aren't necessarily good for a person, you know. And if you don't want kids, you don't want/need it to be reversible.
Also, c'mon. 90% of all birth control is taken / used by women (I made that up, but it feels about right). Why don't you just let the men take the hit on this one. It's far less complicated and involved.
