What is the possibility of a man getting a woman pregnant after a vasectomy?

Answer 1

Depending on how long after the vasectomy you have intercourse, after he had he vasectomy they usually test his sperm on a regular basis until there are no sperm present. If he had his vasectomy months to years ago then no you cannot get pregnant. It is possible it has come undone or is leaking. Regular Dr checkups are a way to prevent that. Old vasectomys were a clip. The clip may not be pinching anymore. Sperm can last up to 20 ejaculations...or 3mths after vasectomy. Be careful. Yes, but the chances are very slim. Vasectomies are the most reliable method of family planning with a failure rate of less than 1 per thousand. The most common reasons for failure are a) that the man didn't wait long enough after the operation (usually 2-3 weeks or 20 ejaculations) before having sex, and b) that the vas deferens spontaneously reconnected. The chances of a failure after properly clearing and being tested at 3 months are put at about 1 in 4000, or 0.025%.

Answer 2

Vasectomy is concidered one of the most effective methods of Birth Control. Very rarely, tubes grow back together again and pregnancy may occur. This happens in about 1 out of 1,000 cases.

Sometimes a couple changes their minds after a vasectomy, they may have a vasectomy reversal done or have a specialist retrieve sperm and attempt IVF. Success rates may vary, in either case you should consult a fertility specialist to decide which method is best for you.

Answer 3

Assuming his vasectomy was successful. Usually after a vasectomy, seminal fluid is checked for the presence of sperm. He could reverse his vasectomy. There are some problems after a vasectomy reversal. Sometimes men develop antibodies to their own sperm. I know that sounds strange, but, that is the main reason men are still infertile after a successful reversal.

Answer 4

Untied the vasectomy first before you can get pregnant.

Answer 5

It is possible, but highly unlikely. Either one is solid prevention if the vasectomy was not within the past couple of months, and the pill is being taken properly.

Answer 6

While it is rare, sometimes a vasectomy can "reverse" itself on it's own, without a 2nd surgery.

Answer 7

Yes, if the vasectomy didn't take it is possible to get a woman pregnant. I have had a vasectomy and if my wife became pregnant, I would get myself tested to make sure it still held.

Answer 8

No, an vasectomy, cuts off the vas deferens, so sperm cannot get out of the penis. The same thing is done with a women (If they allow it) and their tubes are tided, so the egg cannot get out.

Answer 9

It is not impossible. 17 years is a long time, and very rarely those procedures can spontaneously reverse, depending on how they are done. Your partner should get tested just in case.
