vasectomies can fail!!!!

[littlewish]

Beware ladies. My DH had a vasectomy 4 years ago, I fell pregnant in Feb!! (Definately his- no cheating)

Oh my goodness . How are you feeling about it?

Was he given the all clear afterwards?

My DH had his redone as it didn't work the first time.

goodness don't tell me that, DH having one in a month or two and another pregnancy would be an actual nightmare.

The failure rate is 1:2000 - nothing is perfect, even abstinence.

Are you ok?

Yes he had all the tests. All clear. Massive shock four years later!

Unfortunately I lost our special baby 7 weeks ago another massive shock as I was 20 weeks pregnant (sorry didnt mention it in earlier post as I dont want to upset you all). Maybe we'll try again dont know if it would happen again though.

But it's MUCH more reliable than female sterilisation (1 in 200 if I recall correctly? It's significantly worse for women, anyway - and the medical risks if you have an ectopic pregnancy issue is also important to note).

Nothing is fail safe for contraception, you've just been incredibly, incredibly unlucky, I'm afraid.
