My Vasectomy Reversal

Somehow I thought that after the vasectomy reversal, we would have to wait a few months for things to heal and for sperm to return. I was wrong. The doctor gave us the green light after only 10 days, and we can begin trying to get pregnant at any time. Now that we can try, I’m panicked! I had all these things I wanted to do before we got pregnant – get my sciatica under control, lose a little weight (which will help the sciatica), stop taking medication, begin taking prenatal vitamins, read books about pregnancy, the list goes on and on…

What a surprise, after wanting this for so long, to find my own anxieties cropping up. We’ve decided not to try this month, but then we start trying – whether my list is done or not. It’s been a pleasant surprise to see how easy it’s been for me to change my eating habits and lose a few pounds in the 12 days since the surgery. Just like in school, I always need the time crunch before I do what’s got to be done.
