Fingers Crossed for pregnancy after a vasectomy reversal.

I was wondering if anyone had any success stories after a vasectomy reversal? My boyfriend had his operation last wednesday. He is still in a bit of pain and discomfort but we are hoping for success over the coming year.

Any success stories would make us feel a whole lot better.

Hi Amanda,

                 not me personally but my friends husband had a reversal early last year as they have four children. Then, when the youngest reached 18 months the broodiness kicked in and they decided to have a reversal. I can't remember exactly but i think it was March last year and she is now four months preggers yipeeeee! Good luck. xx

Hi

My partner had a reversal in April this year after 8 years. The operation was a success his sperm count was very good but has 40% motility which they said will improve with time, i was so nervous that this would not work as we do not have any children together but it did. I know a few people who have had reversals after 15-20 years which have been successful, i have been pregnant twice since but had two miscarraiges but this may not be to do with his reversal we don;t yet know as they don't look into this until a 3rd miscarraige which is a bit frustrating, but i still fell lucky that the reversal was successful and even with 40% motility the sperm is still getting there as i have been pregnant so i am just hoping 3rd time lucky!!!! Good luck hope it is all successful do let me know xx

My husband had a vasectomy reversal 3 years ago, we were told it had been a success, but a year later after more tests, we were told scarring must have occured(apparantly this is quite common) and he is no longer fertile. My husband is going for a second re-do reversal in July, we are travelling over 100 miles to get this done, as the specialist is highly recommended. Because of the last failure we have not told anyone about this as we are scared of it not working again. I already have 3 teenage daughters from my 1st marriage, but we have none together, so hopefully fingers crossed we might have some good news by christmas.

Hi,

My husband had a vasectomy reversal 4 years ago, a few months later we found ourselves "accidentally" expecting our first child, I'm now pregnant with our second.

There's of course no guarantee that it'll work (there's a risk of scarring blocking the tubes), but at the time it was 9 years since he had the vasectomy and the prospects weren't great (they don't tend to do a reversal if more than 9 years or so). So the fact that it worked - and so well - is just a testament to the fact that there's always hope!

Bear in mind though that he'll be extremely sore - and it's not a pretty sight! But if it's a success then it's just sooooo worth it!

Love
Anne xx
