Hey Ladies ...
I am new to the Forum and was wondering if there are any Ladies out there who have gotten pregnant after vasectomy?


I guess I should explain why I'm asking ...
My second son was born with thrombocytopenia in 2012. He was in the NICU for 2 weeks. When we took him home he was producing blood and was completely healed.
All the Doctors and Nurses we talked to about this basically told us that thrombocytopenia gets worst with every pregnancy and it would be risky to get pregnant again. The baby could get major brain bleeding and die and I could even have a miscarriage. I got the Mirena as soon as I could and we decided not that have anymore, we were blessed with 2 healthy boys after all. Anyways my Husband had a vasectomy done in April of this year and just has a 0 count this week and I had my Mirena removed. But a few weeks ago I found this amazing support group for mommies and daddies who had to go thru what we had to go thru or worst and found out that there are blood tests for mom&dad and treatment for the baby while you're pregnant that's 95% effective. So I got sad cause we basically shut that door. I think every women feels some kind of way when the Husband gets an vasectomy done. I don't really regret it cause we did it for the right reason but part of my wishes I would've known before. I believe that if God wants us to have another child it will happen but I know after vasectomy the chances are very low. My husband said they cut a piece of the tube out and burned it so I don't think they could reconnect. He's fine with what we're having cause we have 2 amazing Boys but deep down I really would like to have a Girl. Maybe not right now but maybe in a few years. I was reading a few stories but all of them were a few years back ...


Thanks for any answers ...

I dont have any personal experience with this, but wanted to say that Im sorry you are feeling so conflicted. I can definitely see why you would feel that way, thinking you were doing the right thing, then finding out that you might have had other options all along. I dont have advice but wanted to wish you good luck in the future.

The chances are very low. I used to work in andrology and it is definitely possible, but very improbable. However, you can get a vas reversal. I know there is an affordable doctor in OK who does it as mission work, of sorts. Good luck! I definitely feel you in your regret for the vas.

Right now I don't feel like I can ask my husband to reverse it. I mean right now we're okay but I'm 25yo maybe in 5-7 years it would nice having a baby around again. Plus he's happy with our situation which makes it a bit difficult talking to him. We can usually talk about everything but with this I feel I can't. at least right now ...
do you know if the success for a reversal has better chances if you get it done early on or are the chances good if he gets it done in a few years !?

I know a couple...they had 2 kids...a boy and a girl..
They said they were done...he got a vac...well 9 years later they changed their minds...they wanted 1 more...so he went in and got the reversal done..several months later she became pregnant!!! They were ecstatic...lol....nine months later baby boy was born healthy..they felt complete and done...they scheduled the vac to be done again when bb was 8 weeks old...he was 100% breastfed...the day he went in to to have the vac done bb was 10 weeks old...the urologist asked him if he was sure this time...he looked at him and said yes..the urologist said you might change your mind and want another to grow up with the new one...Dad looked at him and said famous last words...lol...it has already happened...my wife is pregnant again...Do the procedure...

Baby girl was born healthy about 3-4 weeks before baby boys 1st birthday lol

It is still a joke when people see their "twins" and little girl turns 9 in a few weeks and her "twin" brother turns 10 next month

don't give up!

Hello,

I have to say that I believe anything is possible!!! You need to buy a microscope or get your husbands sperm checked again. Sometimes the vas can grow back on their own and if not their is always a reversal. I do have to say though that my boyfriend had one done 3 years ago and never went back to get checked. He assumed that it was done right and that was it. He wouldn't go get his sperm checked at a lab so I decided to check myself under a microscope and to my surprise there was sperm in it when in fact their shouldn't be any! I think that if it is meant to be than it will be! I would really like to have one more baby, but I am 35 now and I know the chances of me having kids becomes less as I age. Oh I also wanted to reply to what you had said about being sad after vasectomy! I was so upset that I became depressed! I cried because the thought of not having anymore children was sad to me even though I thought I was ready to stop having children. I think it has something to do with our biological clocks or something? I know how you feel about being scared because pregnancy can be extremely scary especially if you have had complicated pregnancies in the past.

Dr Wilson in OK does reversals. He did my husbands reversal 3.5 years after his vasectomy. Cost $1500 at the time (7 years ago). We've had 3 more kids since. (Total of 5).

Friend of mine's parents had him and his brother, and his dad had a vasectomy. However, they wanted more children so they decided to have it reversed and have two healthy boys that are now 7 and 5. I'm not sure when he had the procedure done, but I do know that there are nearly 22 years b/w the youngest son from their first run, and the oldest of the second run

Just give your husband some time on the idea of having another baby, especially since his procedure I assume was not too long ago.
