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

Hi sunshine - all well with me thanks - though nothing to report! the wait goes on (and on and on!).
Good luck with the sa results - the first ones looked pretty good I thought (though i no nothing!) Think we just all have to be patient - we were warned it could take 2 years - just think we all thought it would happen a lot sooner! xx

Hi terrier I no what you mean about thinking it would happen sooner (6 months since vr not that long I no)but we will keep on trying

Hi I'm new to the site and joined because of this thread.
My DH is going for his consultancy appointment tomorrow for a VR after 13 years.
I am an older mum (40) who has two grown up boys aged 20 and 18 and want to try for another one.
Am on edge as to what they will say tomorrow..hoping that everything can go ahead as we both would love a new addition to the family.
Got the theory where these's a will there's a way but feel time is slipping away.

Ho luckywebby - welcome to our gang! Really hope you get some positive news in the consultation. Be prepared for a long time trying - thats what I have learned - then again we did have one lady who got lucky in the 3rd month - so we're all different!
Good luck - let us know how you get on!! xx

Hi luckywebby hope everything goes well for you tomorrow and you get the news you want let us no how you get on.

luckywebby · 14/09/2009 17:29

Hi
thanks for wishes.
The consultants appointment went well. DH is all booked in for 1st October.
It's only two weeks away but it seems so far. Wish it was sooner.
The consultant said that due to the length of time since having the initial op the chances of successfully fathering a child are reduced by about half from 80% to about 40% that coupled with my age would give us about a 20% chance. Well 20% is better than nothing.
So again everything is crossed that it will go well.
Trying to keep positive.
Will keep you informed.

3 days to go before af is due

we have just recived dh second sa results and they are down on last time

ph 7.5

luckywebby · 15/09/2009 20:01

Sunshineday - I'll be keeping everything crossed for you. Heres hoping for a BFP before too long.
Can anyone tell me how long after the VR they started bd.
I have looked at varing different sites and they seem to give different answers. We will ask the consultant on the 1st but just wanted to find out from people that have been through it.

sunshineday · 16/09/2009 11:00

we were told to wait 3/4 weeks post op by the dr we went to. Hope that helps.

WelshSuprise · 23/09/2009 20:13

hi all, gosh, i've not been on the thread for ages but I see there are a few new names appearing so good luck to you all.

luckywebby, me and my DH resumed activity 6 days after the op which I am convinced kept the tubes open ( but only a theory I have come up with !! )

Pink and terrier, how are you both ? I really miss talking to you all on here x I hope things are going well with your ttc. I noticed that you said you weren't trying anymore terrier! Is everything ok ?! xx

Anyway, just wanted to check in so hopefully will speak soon xxx

shm · 23/09/2009 23:48

Hello! I haven't been by mumsnet in ages, but thought I would drop in to see how things were going. My partner had his snip unsnipped in May 2008 and we are still not pregnant! I never thought it would take this long... For a while earlier this year I was really into it all, taking clomid and monitoring temperature etc etc ETC but have given up all that and am just getting on with life - if it happens it happens.

He has a good-ish count now - we found out that the local hospital was leaving his samples in a box for 24 hours before having them tested, and that's why we were getting such poor results - for his last sample he took it right to the lab and it came back much better.

good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone - good luck luckywebby - is today the big day?? We bd'd after 2 wks though it was ME that wanted to wait that long as didnt want to damage anything - dh was chompin at the bit after about 2 days - men eh?

Hi welsh - no we are not ttc anymore - found it too stressful - if its meant to happen it will - just not focussing on it anymore!! Make sense? Hope you and the little bundle are well

Take care xx

Hi all

well the deed is done and DH is recovering well. He is off the painkillers and only takes an anti inflam twice a day.
Chomping at the bit to start bding but will be led by him. We were advised by the doc to wait at least 7 days so that's Thursday.
The doc seemed to think everything went ok but it is in the lap of the goods now...hope they are smiling on us.
Hope everyone is else is OK

Sorentto · 09/10/2009 19:25

Just a little update from me, we're execting
We had ICSI and it was quite stressful but absolutely the right decision. Had 2 eggs transferred so just waiting to see how many hatched.
Good luck to everyone, I shall be lurking

Sorentto · 09/10/2009 19:26

Doh can you tell i'm knackered already, expecting I meant

sunshineday · 09/10/2009 20:54

congratulations Sorentto that's fantastic news let us no how you get on

sunshineday · 14/10/2009 13:43

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

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

Rossco · 21/10/2009 15:50

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.

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

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.

sunshineday · 21/01/2010 17:07

pixiejaz and pinkmook congratulations and good luck with the pregnancys

smileyhappy67 · 05/10/2010 14:56
