Does anyone have experience of this? Hubby has just had it done and we are nervously awaiting the outcome!

Any one got any updates? What clinic did you use?

@Alex124 read the most recent posts - a success story for there you.

How long since your husband's vasectomy was the reversal? What stage are you at? Good luck!!!

Alex124 · 18/12/2017 08:18

Hi there. I hope it worked out well for you. Could you update us? DH got it done too recently. Now we are waiting for it to work. Fingers crossed. A success story would be nie to hear.

foodiefil · 12/12/2017 11:47

Thanks for your reply. That's encouraging. Hopefully I'll be able to update with good news at some point! Enjoy motherhood xxx

Luckily no. I just took folic acid and my hubby took vitamin c and zinc supplements as I read this was good for sperm production. When he had his tests done after the reversal they said we may need help as his count wasn’t so high (15 million) but it only took one and I believe the vitamins helped. Good luck 🤞

foodiefil · 10/12/2017 19:56

Thank you again. Did you have any other help beyond the reversal and trying to conceive naturally? @MissyT90 x

MissyT90 · 08/12/2017 08:42

It was 12 years from him having it done to having it reversed x

foodiefil · 08/12/2017 07:49

@MissyT90 wow congratulations! Thanks so much for your reply. Can I ask how long after your partner's vasectomy you had the reversal? Xxx

MissyT90 · 07/12/2017 12:40

We were very lucky I fell pregnant around 7 months after the reversal even though we didn’t get great results after my hubbys test. I gave birth 2 weeks ago to a beautiful baby boy x

foodiefil · 04/12/2017 11:35

Hi @MissyT90 how's it going? Looking to start the process next year

MissyT90 · 12/09/2016 19:02

My partner has just had his reversal and we are all good to start trying... Fingers crossed :-) How long did it take you guys?

We are going through the same Smileyhappy. My OH had the VR 2 1/2 weeks ago so almost the same time.

Just playing the waiting game now. We were given a success rate of 60% from our doctor mainly due to my age (still in my 20's). We will see though. There are so many factors involoved and it has been over 10 years since my husband had the vasectomy. 60% does sound a bit optimistic to me, but I am sure the Doctor know a lot more than me LOL

Hey there AlbaDeTamble....yes old thread have been googling and looking for people who are going through the same experience. Thank you for your reply. How long since V did your partner have the VR...any tips you could give me?? :)

AlbaDeTamble · 05/10/2010 15:33

Gosh, what an old thread -- I remember lurking when DH had VR, in Aug 09. Pleased to say it worked & I'm 6 months pregnant.

From what I recall of my research and huge amount of googling, the less time between V and VR the better and check the statistics of the surgeon you're booked in with, it seems the experience of the surgeon makes a lot of difference to the outcome.

Very best of luck!

smileyhappy67 · 05/10/2010 14:56

Would love some advice pleeeeassse My partner is going in for VR end of the month he had the V done 2 1/2 years ago. I have not been on the pill or taking any other medication apart from multivitamins. What are my chances of getting pregnant do you think??

sunshineday · 21/01/2010 17:07

pixiejaz and pinkmook congratulations and good luck with the pregnancys

pinkmook · 20/01/2010 10:55

pretty sure no one comes on here anymore but for anyone googling! We had IVF with ICSI due to husbands sperm having 100% antisperm antibodies after vasectomy reversal and am now 15 weeks pregnant - fingers crossed everything will be ok. Sorrento if you are out there let me know how you are doing - and good luck to everyone else dealing with trying to conceive after VR.

pixiejazz · 07/11/2009 10:50

Hi all,

Not been on here for a while - just wanted to update you - following IUI using donor sperm in October we are now 6 weeks pregnant! Ok so it wasn't how we envisaged it to be but we got there in the end. dh is over the moon! Chances are fairly high that it could be multiples as had 3 mature follicles at time of insemination - will find out next week!
Hope you are all doing well and keep smiling xx Thinking of you all xxxx

Congrats to those with BFP's

My dh had a vasectomy 3 years ago. I didn't want him to have it done but he was so freaked out by my pg with DS4 and DS4's time in NICU that he ran to the doc and arranged to have it done. DS4 was 6 months when he had the op.

I asked him the night before if he was sure and he said yes. Now 3 years later he is expressing regrets . I still haven't really got used to the idea that we won't have anymore as we both wanted a large family.

I did mention considering a reversal but he went white at the thought.

Good luck to everyone waiting for the results of a reversal.

pinkmook · 21/10/2009 15:34

Oh sorrento! I am so pleased for you - have been wondering how you did. I just had ICSI (ET last friday) so am waiting on result but not feeling too hopeful. Good luck everyone else and congrats sunshineday. x

sunshineday · 14/10/2009 13:43

hi everyone just thought I'd let you no I got a BFP today

sunshineday · 09/10/2009 20:54

Sorentto · 09/10/2009 19:26
