Its amazing how common it really is.

I used to work in andrology, and I know *many* who conceived post V or after the women had their "tubes tied".

Wow, what a wonderful surprise! Congratulations. Obviously you weren't meant to only have one child . Sometimes we really don't know what's best for us KWIM? I don't know anyone who's V didn't take, but 10yrs after my mom had her tubes tied, Surprise she had my brother.

My youngest aunt was an after V surprise. 10 years after Grandpa had his V, my aunt was born.

My Biology professor told us a story about friends of hers that ended up pregnant after he had a V and nearly caused their marriage to break up. Baby was born, and he knew for sure that baby was his child. She ended up getting her tubes tied, and he had a second V. Several years later--Pregnant AGAIN! So they use 2 to three types of birth control each time they have sex because they have realized that they are very very fertile! OY VEY!

Makes me a bit nervous as well, because I am trying to convince my husband that he should be snipped after we have this baby, and I have a feeling that if he does, we'll still end up pregnant. 3 kids is enough for me! We'll see, I guess.

Best of luck and warm wishes with your new little one!

I keep having the feeling that I'm going to get pregnant with twin boys :. It doesn't help that my dh will not go in for the test to see if the "v" worked. I think the idea of doing you know what into a cup and then taking to someone strange (probable women) who knows what he just did freaks him out.

No perm. BC here, but this pregnancy was a suprise. We DTD 2 days past O and thought we'd be 'safe' even though NFP rules say to wait 3 days. I was really upset at first, we did want more kids, just not now. We have a lot of other things going on, including starting a new house in February, so it wasn't the best timeing. It took me about a week for me to finally be kinda happy about it, and get to the point of saying "Hey, we can do this!"... then we found out it was twins! I can honestly say I am jsut so happy now! How incredible that we happened to concieve twins, and they are also both boys, which evened out our family perfectly. Just give yourself time, and it's okay to not be thrilled w/ being pregnant, especially if you get lots of MS in the beginning (like me!).

This thread scares me. Seriously. I am PG with #3, which was unplanned. But I get hyperemesis with my pregnancies and this time around I had some serious, life-threatening medical complications due to the hyperemesis. So I know for sure that I am done after this. DH is planning to get a V but it is stories like these that make me wonder if I should get my tubes tied plus use some other form of birth control. BTW, we fall into the *very fertile* category.

I'm glad you're happy about it now. Must've been quite a shock!

Just saw this thread and had to tell you... DH was born to a father who'd had a vasectomy and a mom who had an IUD. Born breech on Haloween, too. I have serious questions about him.

Oh, and I was a diaphragm baby... need I even add that it only took us two tries to get pregnant? We'd better be careful with birth control after this til we're sure we're ready for another!

Good luck with everything! Congrats on your little surprise!

Sounds like this little soul was coming hell or high water. Congrats!

Yeah, I can understand that completely. With my DH, they gave him the container to take home and told him to return it with the "sample" inside. Perhaps they will do this for your DH. You really should have him checked before you assume it worked.

And to everyone who has said they are worried that their husband's V won't take, remember that only about 1 in 5000 fails. That's 4,999 that do work.

That's what they did. For about the last 4months the container and lab paper work has been sitting on dh's dresser. Every few weeks I nag him about doing it.:

Hoping to not be too vulgar, but... you could help him do it.

Wow. My DH was so looking forward to unprotected anytime sex that he was taking care of it right away. To each his own, I guess!

And I agree with Junegoddess. I don't know a man who would refuse that help!!
