The sooner the reversal is done (after the vasectomy), the higher the succes rate apparently. although I know someone who had a vasectomy in his 30's, had a reversal in his late 50s (second wife) and they now have 3 kids!

thanks for respones to my Q re antibbodies ]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 10:08:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95566&title=vasectomy-reversal#95566 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95519&title=vasectomy-reversal#95519 Author: purpledragon

Thanks for that. It is nice to hear of success as you hear more of the un successful ones.
I just want march to hurry up and get here so we can start trying. I have even started charting my ovulation so I know exactly what is happening with my body.
Thanks again for the feedback everyone.]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 08:54:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95519&title=vasectomy-reversal#95519 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95503&title=vasectomy-reversal#95503 Author: MyMinis

My parents friend never got a reversal but he still got his wife pregnant after having his vasectamy for 5 yrs lol.
But I have heard of great success rates of reversal vasectomys.
Good Luck ]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 06:11:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95503&title=vasectomy-reversal#95503 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95423&title=vasectomy-reversal#95423 Author: purpledragon

Yeah that is what I had heard of but don't really know alot about it. The vasectomy doctor made it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal. I didn't really ask any more about it, as I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
We are looking at getting the reversal done in March next year,so we will see what happens.]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2006 15:22:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95423&title=vasectomy-reversal#95423 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95376&title=vasectomy-reversal#95376 Author: Lulu

I've posted a reply on your other topic catec...
The only option I know of is IVF ICSI where they wash the sperm and individually inject the sperm into the egg. Successful for us!]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2006 12:47:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95376&title=vasectomy-reversal#95376 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95350&title=vasectomy-reversal#95350 Author: catie

Hey Lulu and purpledragon
I'm interested in your comments on antibodies - I've heard that the options are pretty limited if hubby has these - e.g. sprem wash & IVF or drugs with a risk of VERY nasty side-effects . What are the treatments you know about????????
Good luck! ]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:25:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=95350&title=vasectomy-reversal#95350 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91461&title=vasectomy-reversal#91461 Author: purpledragon

Thanks for the replys.
Yes we have just had the visit with the vasectomy doctor today and he said that it sounds all good. When he had the original done, he has quiet bad scar tissue on one side from an operation that he had done when he was very young. He said there is a good chance he has only been operating on one any way. Which is quiet amazing as with both his children he has already, it only took a couple of months of trying to conceive.
We also asked about antibodies,but he said there are a couple of treatments they can do to get rid of these. So we will see what happens.]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2006 18:44:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91461&title=vasectomy-reversal#91461 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91445&title=vasectomy-reversal#91445 Author: Lulu

Hi Tania - my DH had a vas-reversal after 5 years. It was successful, but after 2 years of TTC we had him retested. It turns out that in the first test that they did on DH they did not test for antibodies which treat the sperm as if it is disease and kill it. Well lo and behold he had these antibodies! So 2 years of going nutty TTC when we had less than 1% chance!

So anyway my advice is when you get DH tested after the reversal, make sure that they are testing for the antibodies.

Your chances of success are very high as it has not been long since the original op. Good luck! ]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:50:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91445&title=vasectomy-reversal#91445 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91423&title=vasectomy-reversal#91423 Author: busymum

Hi there
My husband is going for a vasectomy reversal next march. He is only 31 and it has only been 16mths since the vasectomy.
Would love to hear from anyone else that has had a success at a reversal.
Look forward to hearing from you.]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2006 15:51:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4732&PID=91398&title=vasectomy-reversal#91398
