My boyfriend has a vasectomy and we have been talking about wanting a baby together. Is it possible?

Vasectomies definately can be reversed, and it is typically done as an outpatient surgery. My husband had a reversal about a year ago, and I'm pregnant now, so they can work!
There are lots of things that factor into whether vasectomy reversal will be effective. One thing is how long ago he had the original vasectomy. Success rates go down the longer it is from the original procedure. My husband's reversal was 16 years after the vasectomy, and we were told our chances of pregnancy were about 60%. If it's only been a few years, your odds of success are higher, about 75 - 80%.
You need to pick a good doctor. Someone who does a lot of reversals and can use microsurgical techniques. Not all can, so do your research and ask!
The cost really varies, too. Ours cost about $6600, but some doc's charge as little as $1500 or as much as $10,000. Our insurance reimbursed us for about $2000 of the cost.
We blogged our whole reversal experience, so check out our story and all our research at http://myvasectomyreversal.com
Good luck!

Vasectomy reversal surgery is very cheap in India. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Fly2india4health Consultants. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of Healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI surgery done there and she is more than very happy with the results. She is all praise for Fly2india4health Consultants. She paid just 20% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. Hope this helps

Vasectomies are not easily reversed and there is no guarantee that it will work. You may want to discuss other methods rather than spending all that money for no guarantee.

We were told that it would be around 10,000.00 and it would be about a 50/50 chance. I do know someone that had it done and they were pregnant 1 month later! Good luck! I would say - if you have the money go for it!

Talk to your doctor about this - people on Yahoo Q&A are going to give you all kinds of answers - some extremely inaccurate.
