I am 27 Years old and had gotten a vasectomy 3 years ago. I have a 4 year old and a 3 year old. Recently my wife and I were discussing on the possiblities of having another. we have 2 boys and want to try for a girl. Does anyone know if they are reversible and about how much would it cost? Thanks

It is reversible. It is expensive. Your first stop should be the doctor who performed the vasectomy. He can refer you. Some information is below.

Recent studies have shown an elevated risk to men who have had reversals for heart and other conditions. This risk is small but significant. You should discuss the potential health risks including longer term heart and other problems with your doctor before having the surgery.
One question; why would you now be thinking of reversing this? If it is because you think another child might help in your marriage for some reason, consider counselling before you have the surgery. Having children is often a solution couples choose because there are other problems, and the extra child does not help the situation. If your marriage is fine otherwise, go right ahead!

I had a friend research it and here in Indiana it would cost anywhere from 8-10 grand and it's not always successful. They also recommend that you wait 10 years after your vasectomy to go through with the reversal (better chances of success)

"And how would i go about doing it?"
I'm not a doctor, but while I do know many vasectomies can be reversed, I strongly recommend against doing it yourself! LOL
Consult your urologist. If you had the most common kind of vasectomy, it can be reversed by cutting & sewing back together a few tubes that were cauterized during the vasectomy.
But do you & your wife really want a third kid? There'll be more of them than you guys then!

Vasectomy's are definitely reversible. I have a friend who had a reversal and it was successful. About 7 years ago they were blessed with a baby girl to add to their family of 6! Wow! Please remember that there are no guarantees of the sex of the baby. I know that sounds like a worn out warning but it's important. Just be ready to accept the blessing whatever it is. Good luck!

Hi,
Yes vasectomys are reversible. I believe the sooner you get it done the more likely the chance that you sperm will begin flowing again and your become fertile. You need to contact your doctor about this.
Meanwhile do a search on google.
