Yes you have to go have a reversal of the vasectomy and even then it isn't a guarantee that it will work. I think that it is only a 30% or less chance that it will work. I would go see a urologist and find out what you can do as far as it working and what the chances are of conceiving. Another thing that you can do is have his sperm retrieved and do artificial semenation. That will cost a pretty penny, but there might be a better chance of it working.

No, they are not fool proof, but it is not likely that an accidental pregnancy would occur. You need to talk to a doctor about the KIND of visectomy that was performed. Some can be reversed, but others cannot. In some cases, after several years, sperm production stops completely. Some fertility specialists, when the surgery cannot be reversed, can use a needle to extract sperm for en vitro fertilization, but you will need to see a fertility specialist.

On the off chance that his tubes grew back together, there is no possible way for you to get pregnant. The only way is for him to go back and have a reversal done. But even then, depending on how long ago he'd been snipped, the chances of everything working correctly again is low. Try adopting. Its a lot less painful and expensive.

Reversal is called "vasovasectomy". There is plenty of information out there, see the link below for starters.
It is extremely unlikely for a vasectomy to fail; it almost never happens.

A doctor could probably withdraw semen with a needle, and then use it for insemination, but it might be easier just to get it reversed.

More than likely it will have to be reversed. But, no, they are not foolproof.

He can always get it reversed.
