Vasectomy reversal – please share your experience!?
ByQuestion: My husband had a vasectomy before we got married and had a vasectomy reversal about 4 years ago ( 3 years after his vasectomy surgery). He is in his early forties. We are going to try to concieve and I would like to hear from people who were in the similar situation. How difficult is it to get pregnant? How long did it take you? What is the success rate? I am very worried because I do not have any children and I do not know if I can stay married to a man who can’t have a bay with me. I am in my twenties. Also, I would like to try to concieve a boy, any ideas how? I would like to hear from people who tried and concieved a boy. Thank you!
Sorry, I misspelled the word – can’t have a baby with me, not a bay….
OutsideTheBox, thanks for the support., you are very kind.
And by the way, a childless woman in her twenties married a man in his forties because she really loves him , is that ok with you?

Adopt!
Success rates are about 25%. I know people that have tried this. You have already thrown your money away.
TESE has better success, but will cost you abother 5K$.
If your relationship is so fragile that you think you might not be able to stay with him because he can’t get you pregnant, then your relationship is not strong enough to take the stress involved in having a baby. Sorry to say that, but it is true.
You are far better off not having children. Advance in your career and then get some stamps in your passport (travel).

I find it hard to understand why a childless woman in her twenties would marry a man in his forties who may not be able to have children. you are setting yourself up for a great deal of stress and especially if you are only wanting a boy. if there is a lot of $$$$$ floating around in this relationship, you may want to check in with a fertility specialist who can remove the sperm from your husbands body and then conceive through IVF.

success rates can be around 25% if you try on your own, if you try IVF the success rate dramatically increases and it’s always a choice for you and your husband, you can read more about this and ask an RE (fertility specialist) online for free for their advice, try http://www.FertilityTies.com
good luck!

We did it and have a little boy. And my vasectomy was 15 years before the reversal! You can read about it at http://myvasectomyreversal.com.

I had a similar decision to make. We decided on IVF. You can read about it here.
