My Vasectomy Reversal

My wife and I had somewhat unrealistic expectations regarding how long it would take her to get pregnant after my vasectomy reversal. Since sperm were seen at the time of the reversal, we were told that it could happen immediately, and I was thinking that it might happen the first time or two she was fertile. So we had quite a shock when the results of my first semen analysis showed a low sperm count. We were somewhat reassured after speaking to the doctor that performed the vasectomy reversal. A comment yesterday, on an earlier post, got me thinking about expectations, and I remembered something I had read that would be good to share here:

"The average time from reversal surgery to conception is 12 months. Studies indicate that pregnancies after reversal surgery can occur from one month to 82 months after reversal surgery. Most pregnancies occur within 24 months of reversal surgery." Source

Then I read a story the other day from someone who got pregnant almost four years after the vasectomy reversal. So the message here is, don't expect immediate results and don't give up hope.
