Vastectomies can be reversed, but it isn't 100% effective.
Yes it is possible for you to get pregnant. That is why they say it is 99.9% effective there is always a possibility and I have seen it happen
Although it's rare for a vasectomy to "reverse" on its own, it has happened.
zero, but get a sperm count to be sure
If the vasectomy was performed properly, it is generally considered to be extremely effective. There is, however, a chance that it didn't "take".
Yes you could be pregnant. Sometimes the vasectomy will grow back together. Now be sure that if you are pregnant the doctor tells your husband that this is possable so he wont think you have cheated on him.
It has been known that some doctors don't do a good job when it comes to a vasectomy. It would be to your advantage to have your husband go to your family doctor and have tests run to be sure the vasectomy took well. If all is well then you aren't pregnant. It is noted that for a 2 weeks to a month after a vasectomy the man should not have sexual contact with his wife or girlfriend. My husband had one several years ago and that's what we were told. If you were told that and didn't get pregnant you were very lucky. You need two sperm counts, with no sperm in either to ensure you are no longer fertile, and it may take upto 6 months.
No. If you have a vasectomy, you are a man. It might be possible, but very unlikely, that you could get a woman pregnant.
If the vasectomy was done properly, there should not even be a 5% chance of getting pregnant, as this procedure is the most effective way of preventing pregnancy short of a hysterectomy or abstinence. The best thing to do is to have your husband see his physician and have a semenalysis performed, where they can determine whether or not he has any sperm in his ejaculate. Often after a vasectomy, the body recognizes sperm as a foreign substance and "attacks" it with antibodies; this is why vasectomy reversals don't work a good deal of the time. ! Dr. B.
The percentages are low, but it's not unheard of. If the doctor didn't do his job correctly then it can happen. I've heard about several women who have gotten pregnant after their husband has had a vasectomy. You can go to your doctor and be checked out and they'll know if the vasectomy took or not. Typically the doctor does a sperm count a week after the vasectomy and a month after that to insure that everything is were it should be. And should probably be checked every few years after that.
1) Sure, plenty of times ... sometimes it was even the husband who was the father. 2) You should know that the human body is a self-repairing device, even a "perfect" vasectomy might heal itself. That's why you can't just snip and be done, they have to use staples or special ties. The same is true for tubal ligations too.
Hi, My husband had a vasectomy that was a little over 7 years old and after he got it reversed, it took us just a little over 3 months to get pregnant!! We are sooo excited! Good luck to you, and feel free to contact me anytime if you have any other questions at army69princess@yahoo.com
