Pregnancy after Husband's vasectomy

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

How may have you have experienced this and how long after the all clear?

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

I posted, went for lunch and expected loads of replies when I came back.

[MamaG]

Have you got something to tell me?

[serenity]

My friend got pg five years after her husbands vasectomy........after checks he's been told that it hasn't offically 'failed' The amount of sperm he produces is still low enough that he's counted as infertile, but obviously it only takes one of the little buggers.

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

Not sure, MamaG.

5 years?!?!?!?!?!?

[MamaG]

Do you think that perhaps it would be a good idea to test, my love?

[BlueJellie]

my god bet that causes some arguements in the household at first!!

[Idobelieveinfairies]

oh yes..def test..and then come right back and tell us [nosey].

these things do happen,heard many a story.

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

cry cry cry

stupid stupid woman

it is impossible

I am about 10 seconds late.

I want a baby...............

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

No argument here BlueJ. Hubby will just laugh at me.

[MamaG]

OK, keep calm, stay relaxed and see what happens over the next few days. if no period arrives, do a test. And tell me first, either way

don't cry

[lulumama]

don;t cry

you have had this before haven't you ?

if you are a day or two late, then test

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

I am sure it is more psychological than reality. I have no tests anyway.

Would tell you first, after hubby maybe!

[serenity]

No arguments in my friends house either - all the sceptical eyebrow raising was from friends, and all the 'are you sure it's your husbands' type question were from health professionals. Actual DH was very laid back and accepting of the whole thing.

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

The constant need for the loo doesn't help either.

lulumama - it is a bit of a habit. I am sure because I so want more kids but I know it is risky for my health. Oh why wouldn't they sterilise me instead!?!?!?!?

[lulumama]

give it a few days then get cheap test if neccesary

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

I'll probably manage to wait until about half nine tomorrow and then be down the shop!

[MamaG]

Are you OK today notmama?

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

Thank you my lovely.

Just late. Again.

Have to focus on hubby saying we can adopt in a few years. I just feel so sad for the babies I lost and the fact it is too dangerous to have any more.

[MamaG]

If/when you do adopt, I'm sure you will love those babies just as much as if you'd carried them. Pour all your love into the children you have and remember why its not a good idea for you to get pg.

I know you are right. I just feel really low today. I had an awful morning with the kids behaviour, I have a headache and people coming for tea tomorrow and my house is a mess and their's is more recently decorated. Mine is a home with young kids but it is tired.

[MamaG]

Aw we all have days like that don't we. I told SIL once that I was nervous when she came over as her house is so gorgeous - she said she comes to see us, not the house which cheered me up a bit (although she probably noted the dust )
