What Are the Chances of Pregnancy After Vascectomy?

Well, as a lab tech, I ran hcg tests on PLENTY of women whose husbands had had vasectomies...and SURPRISE!!! Almost 90% of those + tests were men who didn't go back for their SECOND follow up. The farthest out from a vasectomy that I saw come out positive was 13 years. Can you imagine?!? After 13 years, one would assume the vasectomy took! But nope! In one case in particular, there was a lot of rumor/mud slinging about affairs, ect (of which I knew the woman and knew almost for certain there was no affair) and when Mr. went in for a LOOOOONG overdue 2nd post vas, there were clear swimmers!

Is it common? No. But I've seen it plenty!

my husbands uncle had a vasectomy & 14 yrs later was a little surprise named crissy

Pretty uncommon that you'd be able to get pregnant unless the vasectomy is reversed. But it sounds like YOU want a baby. Your husband has not said that he wants a boy, don't make decions for thing that you want by making up something about him. Also, if you got pregnant now, your daughter would be 9 when her sister or brother would be born. They would NOT be playmates. A 9 year old needs to play with friends her age. An infant is not a playmate for a 9 year old. In 5 years, she's be a teenager into music, boys, makeup and the mall, and would have nothing in common with a 5 year old. A baby is something that YOU wantl, but don't try to justify that by saying it's for your husband and daughter.

My mom and dad were both fixed.

At 44 my mom came and told my older sister and I she was expecting....I was7 she was 9.

I now have a lil' sister who is almost 21. She is one of my best friends.

So, can it happen? Yes.

They can be reversed.

He would have to be willing.

I go through this every once in awhile. I had my tubs tied by 25. Three kids they were practically helping me sign the paper work to have it done.

I always keep in the back of my head that my mom and dad were BOTH FIXED and had my sister...So, miracles can happen. Although they are never a guarantee.

my dad had a vasectomy and we got my little brother 10 years later. It can happen, but it's not super likely.
