Anyone TTC after vasectomy reversal op?

[spamanderson]

Hi! Newbie to the forums :) we have 2 children, 7 and 5 and hubby had a vasectomy almost 5 years ago.... Almost as soon as our youngest was born. He realised quickly after that it was a big mistake. We're speaking with our chosen surgeon in a week and booking the reversal, then it's all aboard the TTC train as soon as he's all healed up :) would love to have some buddies along the way :) it's going to be a fairly long journey I feel, our eldest took a year to conceive our youngest took 9 months with a early mc in between.

Thank you ladies I'm still in shock ! I don't think I actually believed it would work ... We had 4 children our youngest being 7 so it was 7yrs post original vasectomy . FX you all get your BFPs soon x

I know the feeling, we never thought we'd fall so quickly, especially as our eldest took 9-10 months TTC ing, still kinda can't believe it! I'm 27 weeks on Saturday, it's flown by! I keep thinking we should send our surgeon a card or something?! Eek Im so happy for you :)

The success of reversal of vasectomy always depends on the time period which has passed since the reversal of vasectomy.

in my extended family there are atleast 2 cases where vasectomy was reversed successfully and one was after 7 years of vasectomy and another was after 9 years. Both were successful.

After the vasectomy, it usually takes 4 weeks for the sperm count to get back to normal for conceiving and till that time sex is not advised as well.

Secondly, the doctor would advise 2 sperm analysis to check the progress in sperm count, one would be after 2 weeks of procedure reversal, second would be after 4 weeks.

The sperm count does not shoot up but increases gradually, so if after the test of 2 weeks, the sperm count is not fine, then there is nothing to worry about as it would increase gradually and not just shoot up.

It is important to have light physical activity in the first week but not heavy. The procedure is completed within 2 hours and the patient can go home the same day.

so, all in all within 4 weeks the sperm count should get back to normal and yes there have been successful cases in my family as well.

Hello!
Late joiner sorry. Reversal in June (4 years after vasectomy). First month ttc and bfn although wasn't expecting miracles like some of you (massive congratulations!) but was hopeful! Roll on September

Hi jomalones welcome! I've been ttc since December now, some nice success stories on here though to keep us going x

Thanks Mrsstickll. Well tomorrow will be cd1 again. Is anyone else a total poas addict? I think this month I went through 8 opks and about the same hpt. I know it's only been our first month of trying actively but have just ordered a thermometer as want to make sure there is no problems with me ovulating etc. hopefully will get SA done this month too. Did everyone else get SA done? I've started taking b complex with folic acid but anything else we should be doing? Cutting down on alcohol and caffeine although as I know AF is due tonight I will have a glass or two.

Hey ladies,

I hope you are are well! Welcome to the newbies, congrats on the BFP's.... Well DH had SA over the summer and was told all was good ( lower end but they were swimming happily!) and that we had a good chance of falling over the next 2 yrs... 19.4 mill and 35% something?!!! Anyways, we are now headed into the 9th month, 8 actively trying....not so much as a niggle yet! :-( my daughter turned 9 last week and I just can't help feeling that a lot can change in a body in 9yrs! Cycle is consistent at 32 days, 3 day AF but am going to research a specialist locally to run a fertility screen for me this next month if nothing happens ( I'm British but working in the Middle East).
Hubby is getting frustrated now and is actually paying attention to my cycles whereas before he was almost dismissive and annoyed that ttc was my focus! I temped for 3 months but I am often restless at night so it's not overly accurate! It did show a pattern of ovulation around day18 so fingers crossed... I have to say each month gets a little harder, especially with those around me seemly falling very easily!

How you getting on JoMalones OH had his SA done and the surgeon said everything was norma.l

Hi Pitterpatter5 how are you? Good news on the SA.

AF due for me in 2 days, feel like I'll never see a second line.

Hi Mrsstickll, I'm on cd8 and should ov cd14 so may be quiet next week! We've decided to get SA so until then I'm not that hopeful. I think last month I was so convinced it would happen, I've now realised that we probably will be in for a wait. Those two lines will be there for you soon. Hopefully this month!
Hi Pitter - I've iust started to temp but also v restless and OH works funny hours so not had much success over the past week since getting the thermometer.

Hey Netters,

New poster here, just starting to try...

VR was done 2 weeks ago Monday, so boffing started Monday this week...

I'm excited and scared and hopeful and nervous and really hope we're luckly.

We went to Dr Harriss - who I see has lots of positive reviews on this thread.

Looking forward to joining the community

*lucky even !

We're both taking our pregnacare and having sex / he's masturbating.

I've downloaded a fertility app - is a totally new experience for me as had a coil until Jan this year so never paid it much attention.

I'm 33. He's 50 with 2 kids from a previous marriage.

Would anyone mind explaining the acronyms on here to me - I don't know what BCP / AF etc mean as am very new to this xx

Hi jillycooper2015 welcome! Acronyms BFP is big fat positive, Af is aunt flo. I also have 2 step children but none of my own. Hope you are lucky I think a couple of people on here got pregnant the first month.

How you getting on jomalones how's the temping going? I've never done it but it's been 10 months now so might give it a go next cycle.

Hi Jilly, I had to google them all initially- used to take ages to read posts!

MrsS- hmmmm not sure! My sleep is so disturbed! Two dips before increasing so either ov Monday when I got +opk or Wednesday. AF Due on 22nd so now on dreaded 2ww and can't poas for at least a week!
On a positive note, apt for SA later in the week.
How are you getting on?

That's good about the SA, how long do you have to wait for results?

I'm doing the clearblue clinical trial, so free opks, currently on cd10 with flashing smiley, this is the first time I've done opks.

I don't know but I'm so impatient so hopefully not long!

Ooooh, how did you get on the trial?

I clicked on this; uk.clearblue.com/survey

I've quite enjoyed it as a little distraction.

Ours took ages the surgeon went away when we were waiting for results I was livid

Thanks, filled it out so fingers crossed!

I would be too!!!

Hi everyone. Hope you dont mind me joining in, I'm very new to this and have never actively joined a forum before so bare with me. I have enjoyed reading this thread tonight. I'm laying in bed and can't sleep as oh is having his VR tomorrow!!! We are going to Nottingham under Mr Lemberger. Our story is quite different from a lot of you guys. We have 4 children already ranging from 6 to 15 but have decided that we really would like one more. I know 5!!!! Ha I've always been very maternal and wasn't really happy when oh had his vasectomy almost 5yrs ago when our youngest was 14 months old. Anyways fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow and is a success. (Can't believe how nervous/excited I feel) we havnt told anyone about this which has been really hard for me so I'm glad I found this thread. Lol

Hi welcome jellybean4 we had Dr lemberger, I really liked him and the reversal was successful. Hope all goes well today! Are you staying over? Xx

Hi mrstickll and thank you. I'm just sat in the room waiting for him to come back. Mr Lemberger has just popped in to see me and said the op went very well. Tubes were only about 1 inch apart!!! So hopefully he wont have any antibodies or poor swimmers!! Hope oh is ok over in recovery as he has never has a GA before. I have read your story through the thread, you still working on ttc?? X

Hi, glad all went well. Yes still working on it, I've never been pregnant before though so all new to me, this is the first month I opk'd and got a solid smiley today so that's a bit of a relief. Nice couple of weeks for your oh putting his feet up for a bit. X

Yes some tlc for a while. I'm sure he wil milk it ha. Ooh that's good, well I hope you have your happy ending v.soon xxx

Hi, how's everyone getting on? Is your oh recovering nicely jellybean4? One more week of TWW for me, it's dragging, I'm sure time has actually stopped

Hi, sorry for such a late reply. Yeah he is doing OK now. Much more painful for the first week than he thought. We did the deed after 5 days though!!!!! I did say I didn't think we should but he wasn't having any of it. Lol hope we didn't undo any of my lembergers good work! ??
We arnt planning on ttc until next summer hopefully as lots going on with work etc at the moment. How is the 2ww going???? How you feeling??
