Anxious About Success of Vasectomy Reversal

I am 31 years old, healthy, and have never been pregnant. My husband is 31 also and has 2 children from his first marriage. He had a vasectomy shortly after his 2nd child turned 2. That was just shy of 5 years ago. We saw a Urologist and he said that everything felt normal during my husband's exam and that he feels good about our chances of success. He felt we have about an 80% chance of getting pregnant. I know that he is a doctor and knows a lot about the topic, but I was just wondering if any of you have become pregnant following a reversal. I don't know anyone who has been in this same situation, so I am not really sure what my expectations should be. I really want to have a biological child, but I certainly don't want to set my expectations too high and be destroyed if it doesn't work. Even if you have been in this situation and didn't have the optimal outcome I would still like to hear your input. Of course the success stories are very welcomed!

Hello B.,

Well, my husband, who is 53, had 2 vasectomies and has a 7 1/2 month old daughter and never had the reversal. I have 4 step sons ranging in age from 31-24 and three step grandkids. I am only 29. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love that man with all of my being. He doesn't believe in pain of any kind only pleasure; he doesn't believe in force either. I think I will keep him for as long as God will allow me to. Please keep me posted. ____@____.com is my e-mail adddress. After everything is done, don't try and don't get your hopes up. Try to stay unstressed. I was extremely stressed out when i got pregnant with my youngest, so to get the positive pregnancy tetst result was a shock all by itself. Remember that God will see you through all of this and the end result with be worth it.

My girlfriend was in the same situation, same age as you too. Her husband was 47 when he had the reversal. They had one relatively tramatic miscarriage (her first attempt at pregnancy, she was 8 wks. along). They tried again (her 32 and him 49) and are now parents of twins - one of each!! Just keep positive and follow the doc's instructions. Good luck!!

Hey i have reversal when i was 34 yrs old. I had my tubes clicked , cut , burnt. My husband now had no kids, we went to a Dr. in wichita kansas and i was told after surgery i had 60 percent of getting pregant and guess what we tried for 2 years and we did test tube , and temp taking and so on, then my Dr. decided to put me on the feridlty pill and guess what it worked i was pergant and we had a healthy baby boy. So if you really want baby go for it and try but dont get depressed if it dont work quick give it time and your Dr. will know what to do. Your husband might have to take some kind of pills to help but i am not sure about what they do for guys,i only know it what a women goes through sorry that is all the help i can give you. Hope this gives you hope (Pray To God And I am Sure It Will Help I Did ). Your , Friend M. P.s. Oh and when you do get pregant you better keep in touch and let me know . If you need to talk again here is my email ____@____.com Bye

Hello, I am new to the site and I love what I have seen so far, When I saw your letter I had to respond, My dad had a vasectomy in 1971 before he and my mom divorced, After he and my stepmom got married in 1974 they decided that they wanted a child in 1986 as she had never had any children, They both went in the same week and had reversals done, 3 months later we got a phone call that we were gonna have a new brother or sister, We all were so excited, This was 19 years ago and they have had 3 kids now, It's kinda weird for me because the youngest is 14 months older than my oldest daughter. I want to wish you the best of luck and hope to hear that you are pregnant in the near future.. M.
