My husband had a vasectomy about a year and a half ago. Does anyone know or have heard of someone still getting pregnant after the fact.? I know there is slight percentage but it has to be pretty rare. I'm still nursing and finally got my period back a couple of months ago after two and half years. I have been dealing with alot of stress but never got my period last month which concerns me. What are your thoughts?
We'll good news, took a test and it was NEGATIVE:) Believe me my husband was glad to hear. lol We would have dealth with the outcome either way but it would have been hard when you have a todder and then one in college. Guess it is just a combination of stress and my daughter still nursing. It will probably take my body some time to adjust and I am working on weaning my daughter too. Why does a woman's body have to deal with so much? lol Thank you all for your input. I just love mampedia, it's great to know how many people out there care and willing to give their input and advice :) Trust me it really really helps....
It's rare but it pappens. I believe as long as he went back to be tested and he's "shooting blanks", you're fine.
take a test to know for sure. There are only two forms of birth control that work - abstinence and a hysterectomy....
If you have had a ton of stress in your life - then it's entirely possibly it's stress related....
If you are questioning it - take a test!
It has happened - if you are concerned, go and buy a test. At least you will know for sure either way!
My SIL had her tubes tied and 7 years later ended up prego......crazier things have happened!!
Mom had me, dad had a vasectomy. Thirteen years later, my sister was born!! That was a long time ago (I'm 31) and I'm sure the procedures are different not. But it DOES happen!
some of those swimmers can still get through after a vasectomy - not sure how but it's not 100% - although very close. But if you've been through a lot of stress this month that is probably why you haven't gotten yoru period. Stress will affect hormone levels frequently. I would bet that you're not pregnant - jsut stressed out.
Did your husband pass the two clear, sterile tests at two months and repeated after that?
I have heard of it, but it is rare. I have friends who have a daughter that was conceived after a tubal. Wow! It could be stress for sure. My sister is lucky enough to skip when she stresses. I never skip, but my cycle is not regular at all. Take a test to make sure, but chances are you aren't.
I don't have any advice with the vasectomy part. But, with my daughter, I got my period back after nursing, had it for 2 months, then went another 2 months without it. I went back on birth control at that time, so my period was kind of forced on me. It could just be your body going back to normal. It can definitely take some time for your periods to be consistent again.
But, if it will help ease your mind, go grab a home pregnancy test!
Just happened to my girlfriend. It's possible. Could just be your period regulating itself though.
I stopped nursing my DD at 13 months and I didnt get a period until 28 days after stopping then it came again at 31 days the next month and then 46 days after that so they havent got back on a regular schedule. We are in the process of TTC but are having a bit of a rough time with it because my schedule seems to be all over the place. What I am trying to say though is that BFing can cause your cycle to go a bit wonky as can pregnancy so technically yes you could be pregnant but I would think that it is very unlikely and that your body is just readjusting to all the recent changes
Good Luck
did your husband go back for a specimen to make sure there was no swimmers? If he never did then YES there is a possibility your preggers! I know someone who became pregnant 10yrs after her hubby's vasectomy and she was accused of having an affair.... she NEVER had an affair, her husband never got checked after to make sure there was no swimmers. (it has his) You may want to get a test! let us know what comes of this :)
umm I wouldn't worry one bit after hubby having a vas. and nursing and not having one for years! it's going to take a while for your period to come back consistantly! Relax
It is a possibility. However its also possible that it will take a while for your cycle to regulate its self.
Of course it's possible. Doctors aren't 100% infallible. Even being careful there's just that tiny percentage that something still happens.
Vasectomies have been known to fail, but I thnk it is pretty rare these days. Years ago (30+ years) I knew a gal whose husband had TWO that didn't work, but procedures are much better now. He did go for the "after test" to check for leaks didn't he? If you have concern maybe hubby should send a sample to the lab every now and then. As for you...your periods could be a little off until your baby is totally off the breast. Any fluctuation in the amount of nursing can effect your hormones which will effect your cycles. Stress can cause all kinds of issues including missed cycles. I have to say GOOD JOB nursing longer than most. It is so good for you and baby!
