She maybe sad because you can still make it.
But if you undergone vasectomy, she will accept it and still be happy.
Let her come over here and let her feel the advantage and disadvantage when she arrived.
If she's got a good job and ready for a baby, I don't think this will be a problem.
If she arrived, and she will see all the bills without her working then she may have second thought.

Having a vasectomy is not the end of baby making.

It can be reversed at a cost, it is not always successful but, it is better than no chance at all.

I know Gwapito as I have friend who is married to German(undergone vasectomy) as he has no plan to have any.
But her filipna wife wished to have one and after reversed, she got one.
Now, she keeps on giving advice not to adopt and not to dream to have one.

But I am not sure if all can be reversed.

Hi Penny. You are right, not all can be reversed but, this can be spotted on the consultation for a cost of £180.
The Surgeon I know of had a 92% success rate last year alone and on average he does on average 300 reverse vascestomies a year.

The closer the dates between the vascestomy and the reverse vasectomy, the higher the chance.

Bearing in mind the people having all done in there 20's have a bigger chance anyway.

Looking at the other end where the guy had his vasectomy 15 years ago the stats are not as good as the guy in his 20's but, what must be remembered is, the guy who had his vasectomy 15 years ago is 9 times out of 10 more than likely be married or partnered with a women much older than the 'prime' baby making years IE 18 to 35 years old. This must also be considered when looking at stats.

So if the guy had his vasectomy 15 years ago and his wife/partner is with in her 'prime' years there is every chance of it being successful, just like the guy in his 20's.

The facts are the highest chance is in your 20's (3years and below vasectomy) which is 97% the lowest being 79% ( thoses are guy with 15 years plus between vasectomy and reversal) chance of getting pregnant.
For the small cost of the reversal when you compare the cost with IVF, it is well worth it.

Bear in mind the average IVF treatment in the UK costs £2500 each time. The cost of the reverse vascetomy at this hospital I know of in the Midlands costs the same as the IVF and you get that chance of getting pregnant every month there after, unlike IVF where you have to spend £2500 each time.

Yes, you may have to go down the IVF route if the reverse operation don't work, better to do this first though.

So, yes Not all can be reversed but, look at the chances of sucess, from 97% to the low of 79%, well worth a bet it works Penny.

When you think many play the lotto every week and that is a 14 million to 1 chance of winning.
You have to be in it to win it.

With respect, quoting "facts" to such a degree of "accuracy" is misleading. All medical practice must be evidence based. No studies are accepted as evidence without including confidence limits, numbers of patients involved, and meta analysis (comparison of similar published studies in peer-reviewed journals). Don't believe such apparently precise figures!
Vasectomy involves tying, stitching or cauterising (burning) the vas deferens (each of the tubes leading from the testes to the penis) so that sperm, while still produced, cannot exit through the penis. The volume and appearance of the ejaculate, and sexual desire, are little altered. The testes remain normal. The sperm are broken down in the testes. Reversal is technically difficult and not usually effective. Even mechanical success does not equate to success in achieving pregnancy with the partner, and may not be permanent.
The sperm may be abnormal, possibly because of antibody production, and there is an increased chance of birth defects. Cryostorage (freezing) of sperm before vasectomy is possible.

I am aware of the process, I didnt want to bore the readers.

As for the antibodies, I'm also aware of that.
You mention higher risk of birth defects, that is also a known fact that if either partner are there 40's the risk of have a child with defects are laso greatly increased, with or with out reversed vasectomy.


The figures I quoted are from the surgeon concerned, these are his figures for the year ending December 2009 based on the findings of the 342 reversals made that year.
Hence the figures I stated.

I also said, not all are sucessfull.

All what is guranteed in life is death and taxes.
