can I get pregnant after a vasectomy?

Question

I want to have a baby!!! I have two girls but always wanted a boy. I got married to my husband after 7 years of dating on and off. we have a 6 year old. we married 2 years ago. 6 mos. in, he gets a vasectomy. he gives me a 24 hour notice before and now he is clipped. is it possible to get pregnant after a vasectomy??? He knew I wanted another baby. I am 34 and he is 42. he says he is too old to start over. I love him and I'm so disappointed at the same time. I feel like he took my choice away!

Answer

It's his choice too. If you both don't want another baby, then you shouldn't have one. I understand you being disappointed, but you should respect how he feels as well.

Answer

I feel like there are actually 3 questions here.
1) Can a vasectomy be reversed?
2) Should you force another baby on a partner who really doesn't want one? 
3) Should you have another baby with someone who made a decision that drastically affected your life without consulting you first?
The answer to the first question is yes. The answers to the second questions will have to come from you and your husband. I think some very open and honest conversations, possibly through couples counseling, could help you find those answers.

Answer

It’s his choice as much as it is yours. You need to be on the same page. If he really wants a baby then he could try to get a reversal.

Answer

It is possible. I just watched a video yesterday of a man finding out his wife was pregnant even though he had a vasectomy, it wasn’t successful.
