Rare but possible, yes.

It is possible. About 1 in 1000 vasectomies fail (the parts grow back together). That's the official word. However, my friend's sister found out (after she became pregnant 10 years after her husband's vasectomy), that the rate in the real world is higher, closer to 1 in 100. It depends on the experience of the doctor doing the surgery and the method used.
My friend's sister ended up divorced and the paternity test after the birth confirmed that he was the father, but too much bad blood had passed. If you know that there was nobody else, consider either having his sperm tested (and it will show swimmers) or getting an amnio to confirm paternity. While there is risk, it's better than a permanently damaged marriage, IMHO.
I saw a report somewhere that indicated that the majority of rejoins occur from 3-5 years after the vasectomy. 10 years later is pretty unusual.

It isn't likely, but it's possible! I just had a "near miss" myself-- we were really starting to think I'd gotten pregnant, even my doctor thought it was a good possibility (enough to run a test to be sure). But the negative test was closely followed by my monthly visitor, much to my relief (and a little disappointment as well, I must admit).
My partner's vas. was done about 15 months ago.
I hope it turns out the way you're hoping!

It is rare, but possible to get pregnant even when the man has had a vasectomy.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/gPUTB
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

It has been known for the tubes of the 'vas' to re-join after the operation, but I believe it's pretty rare. Mine was 5 years ago, & I'm definitely shooting 'blanks'..

Yes, especially if you are having sex with someone who is not your husband/partner. Also, keep in mind that you don't "fall" pregnant, you "get" pregnant by having sexual intercourse. Falling has nothing to do with it!

no unless it wasn't performed properly theres no way you can get pregnant .as theres no live sperm left .the only reason you can get pregnant again with your partner is if he has a reversal but thats only 40%succesful rate
