Seeking Advice About Getting Pregnant After a Vasectomy Reversal

I can't speak to the vasectomy reversal, but my husband and I tried unsuccessfully for 6 months at first. I was getting very frustrated. Then a friend recommended the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler. It walks you through all the signs to help you understand when you are ovulating (and IF you are ovulating, in the case of fertility problems). If you don't mind getting a little up-close-and-personal with your body, this is a fantastic book! I got pregnant the first month after reading it. Recommended it to my sister who also got pregnant her first try after reading it. Good luck!!!

Yours , mine and ours is actually quite fun.
And my friend got pregnant on her first cycle when they reversed. (it's resulted in 3 pregancys since)
Good Luck

My husband had a vasectomy after his last daughter was born. Then when she was ten we decided to have one together and had the reversal done. The doctor told us that it would be a 50-50 chance since his surgery was over 10 years ago. Well I guess you could say we got the good side of the 50-50 because OUR son is now 9 months old. It did take us some time to conceive but that was mostly my bodies cause. Hang in there and be patient. The more you stress on it the less likely you'll conceive. Good Luck~!~~

I need to make this quick as I am on my way out the door, but my husband had a successful vasectomy reversal 25 YEARS after the fact. We conceived 3 years later when I was 38 and he was 52. We both went to acupuncture to help us. Who knows if it helped or not. Good luck!!!

Hey K.,

about me....I went through fertility treatments for 2 1/2 years.....when I first started fertility drugs I had a coworker whose hubby had a reversal and they had problems getting pregnant immediately.....Since it has been over 6 months since you have not gotten pregnant...RUN to the nearest fertility treatment center...I don't care what your current OBGYN or urologist says....don't let them see if they can fix the situation..if they currently have you on chlomid....shame on them...there is only so much chlomid you can take...6 months worth.and then that's it, you cannot take anymore.....Fertility Specialists deal with your problems every day...your obgyn and urologist do not....

the only thing I can think of is that not enough seminal fluid is being produced.....try dosing him up with cough syrup...there is a drug called guastifasine...or something like that ..that helps produced more fluid...and same goes for you too...

though he may be fine and that it could be you...and if it is you..there are sooooo many factors to check out.....I am not from around here..I just moved here over a year ago from Texas..so am not sure of who hte best fertility specialist are...please find out and go make an appointment immediately

For me wiht all of hte tests and drugs......it came down to my ovaries were old and I didn't produce enough eggs for IVF...we went for foster/adoption and our first placement was/is our 2 beautiful daughters ages 5 and 3 1/2 now..that was about 3 years or so ago....and I would not have it any other way!

Good luck. J.

All I can say is have fun trying!!!! This is an awesome motivation to get intimate with your true love. Imagine Love Love Love!!!!

Hi K.,

My husband had a vasectomy and 6 years later we had it reversed. It took us 11 months to finally conceive. Now we have a 13 month old little girl and we are 9 weeks pregnant with #2. Hang in there. I was getting frustrated too.
