This is a TRUE, cautional tale for you.
A friend and her husband decided that four kids was enough, so opted for vasectomy, a couple of years later, she decided to go all broody, and they decided to have another child together, so he went through a painful reversal, there were a couple of minor complications, nothing serious, eventually all was well, and he started functioning again, she was giving him some grief because she wasn't conceiving, eventually he confessed that he'd been having an afair with a nurse from the clinic, left his missus, set up home with the nurse and had another couple of kids, his missus met and fell in love with another bloke, before they got together permanently, she brought up the kids issue, he announced I had a vasectomy 10 years ago..........
Success rate of reversal depends on the time since the vasectomy was carried out. Remember when you originally signed up for the procedure you were told you should consider it reversible!
Under 3 years the pregnancy success rate is 76%
3-8 years 53%
9-14 years 44%
>15 years 30%
In many areas it is not allowable on the NHS. This is only right and proper, you volunteered and requested the procedure, you were told it was to be permanent and it had had to balance the cost of your reversal against the cost of a life saving operation I would not chose you!
you never said you were feeling broody
anyway, there's no chance
wait for grandchildren, or else we'll get a puppy
dr frank is absolutely right,- and by the way, don't you have enough trouble already?
there must have been a reason for you asking for the procedure?
do you want to start anew?
I have 4 of the lot, and I would never go for it again, had I known, what was to come to us. thank you very much.
is all right with a mansion, a gardener, a butler, at least two maids, two cleaning ladies taking it in shifts and of course a driver- and heaps of money to pay for it all!
who wants procedures like this done, should at least pay for them, as he is unlikely to pay for the consequences, because otherwise he would not ask this Q and have private insurance! so easy, is it not!
Vasectomy reversal is overall a bad ethical choice. That is why so many doctors will not do it. That is why it is so hard to get funding for it.
