Hi, Sometimes you can skip a period for no reason. Especially if this is your 1st month of starting BCP. But do a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If its positive stop BCP straight away and contact your doctor.

What can my husband do to be more fertile if he had a vasectomy 13 years ago and the doctor said there is only a 5 percent chance of us getting 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.
