Old New Dads
Jump to Comments
Babble, a parenting site, has posted an extensive article about men having kids in their golden years. The piece does a pretty good job of exploring the personal, financial and social aspects of older men having kids via vasectomy reversal. As the father of a vasectomy reversal baby myself, I found the article fascinating.
Another new article cites some interesting statistics that I haven’t seen before, attributed to Dr. Donald R. Pohl, founder of Vasectomy Reversals of Texas…
“…as many as 90 percent of his patients are men who have re-married. About 8 percent feel they “stopped too soon” and want a larger family, and a small percentage, 1-2 percent, lost a child to illness or accident.”

Wow…I stumbled onto your site through Stirrup Queen’s blog list. Firstly, its so awesome that you’re a dad again, congratulations! Secondly, its uncanny – some of the similarities – my husband is currently 52 and we’ve been desperately trying IVF for about 2 years now. Unfortunately, hubby’s vasectomy was abouit 22 years ago and my initial research through Dr Google doesn’t make them good odds. Which is sad because hubby really wants to try a reversal.
Anyways…going to start reading through your site in earnest now. Cheers
