Hello everyone, its nice to hear that I am not the only on ein this boat. My husband had a reversal 5 days ago. He had his initial vasectomy 10-11 yrs ago. I would really like to have a child with him. He is 23 yrs older than I and already had children but I have never. Does anyone have any encouraging words? Has it worked for anyone? I sure hope so!!

My husband of seven months, is recovering in the next room, from his reversal.(only hours old!) We met 7 years ago, four months after he had seperated from his wife of 16 years…
I’m 38 and a bit and he is 57 and a bit. He has 4 children, whom have been raised jointly by us and their Mom. I really wanted at least one of my own so God love him we are going to try!!!!!
Thanks for your story!

It was really good to hear your story. I am 26 years old and my husband is 36. He had a vasectomy about 8 years ago in his previous marriage, (after 2 children). Well to make a long story short, he got divorced, we got married, and now we want a baby together. It seems so expensive to not know if it will work for sure or not. Thanks for your story. It is a real encouragement for us.

Wolfie –
I definately have not given up hope even though Rich’s sperm count is low right now. The doctor also suggested to us that we might want to freeze samples of his sperm to build up enough to try intrautarine insemination. Have you considered that possibility as a route to mommyhood?
Good luck!

You’ve given me hope again. Thank you. My husband’s vasectomy was also 15 years old and he had the reversal procedure done June 2005. He had a semen analysis this week (May 2006) and we didn’t quite understand the results as the nurse was explaining it quickly over the phone. Something was at 100 million and something else was 5% that should be 40-60%. I guess what it boiled down to was low sperm count/motility. I figured we don’t have a chance and disappointingly decided that I just had to accept fate. I’m never going to be a mommy. However, I came across your blog and saw that a pregnancy can take between 12 to 24 months to occur. So, maybe there’s still hope for us! Good Luck to you too!

Thanks. We’ve learned not to expect overnight results. I think the average length of time from VR to pregnancy is a year or so. Hmm, I’ll have to research that and post on it. Good luck with the surgery. Mine was painless; I hope your husband’s is as well (and successful of course!).
