When i remarried recently 2009, decided to have a vasectomy reversal. The cost was £2500 and my god it was painful after for about 3 /4 weeks. The success rates are getting better and better and apparently mine was a success although no sign of a pregnancy yet.

My advice would be don't have the vasectomy in the first place as with hindsight I regretted it. I am now 59 but my wife obviously a lot younger and would like another child if we can. My VR was also done by MR Harris in Nottingham.
After a lot of research, I plumped for Mr Harriss as well. ....he was one of the 3 most successful at the time (May.2010) at doing this process.

The morning after the RV he paid me a visit. The advice he gave was. ..'this is where you have to play your part, no sex for 2 weeks then after, do it as much as you can'. He said that live sperms didn't stop producing so, their are many dead sperms to clear'....the only sensation felt after the operation was a dull ache which lasted a few days...the tenderness lasted up until the end of the second week which by then I was prepared, under Mr Harriss's instruction, to get to work. I wasn't going to waste £2500!

I purchased a fertility monitor beforehand, which pinpointed my wife's ovulation exactly. She fell pregnant after the first ovulation cycle ..had we not of used that monitor, it was quite possible she wouldn't of become pregnant at all. It turns she didn't ovulate until day 23.
It was the same case for Jobe our second baby.
