My husband had a vasectomy after my son was born...he is now two years old and I would really like to have another child around my son's fourth or fifth birthday. My husband is starting to consider the idea, but we are still unsure which way to go about having another child...Would we be better off to have him get a vasovasectomy and then ANOTHER vasectomy or should we consider In Vitro Fertilization or In Utero Fertilization? Also if you could explain the differences between In Vitro and In Utero...What are the risks or benefits associated with each one of them? AND how much do each of these procedures cost typically? Thanks so much!

My husband had a vasectomy reversal in April. We have been trying for 6 months now - no luck but his sperm count is fine - so the prob lies with me!! Anyway, I personally think it is worth it as there has been soooooo mnay success stories. I think you should have it done as soon as possible and rather use protection if you are not ready as this can take a year to correct itself and to produce "proper" sperm. It is quite painful afterwards for a week - but they ghet over it - we have to go through labour!!! Anyway, check out www.dadsagain.com and e-mail me if you have more questions i will be happy to answer them in detail! Were do you stay?!

All the best to you!

You don't want to do that. You are looking at a bill of better than 5K$. The success rate is about 25% for vasectomy reversal, and somewhat higher for TESE. You are much better off adopting. You won’t get any ethical doctor to do these surgeries. Most are scammers.

There are two common types of scam associated with the industry. First is the one where the doctor keeps your hopes up, and will continue recommending different procedures until you can’t pay any more. My girlfriend worked in a clinic where the doctor (from India) did exactly that.

The other scam, is where they try to get you to sign up for financing (keep in mind that insurance does not cover any of this stuff). The scam is nothing more than identity theft. They often will use the name of some real clinic, like Forerunners healthcare, or some other (I am using Forerunners as an example, I am not indorsing them). The scammer is not affiliated with the clinic. Other times they use the name of a made up clinic that has a web site and everything. They don’t offer anything. Most of these scams are run out of India, Indonesia, China, and Mexico.

There are several SPAMmers that operate on Yahoo Answers that will tell you their cousin got the procedure in India, Mexico, or some other place. They are the ones to watch out for.

If you still plan to do this, ONLY go to a place that one of your co-workers, used before. Otherwise do the right thing - Adopt!

You would not need an IVF (In Vitro) . In an IVF, the sperm and the egg are mixed in a lab, and the resulting embryos are implanted. Since you are likely ovulating normally you will not want to go this route, since it is expensive and very invasive. It is possible that a Dr could extract sperm form the testes and then do an intra uterine insemination (IUI). IUI is easier and less expensive then an IVF, but still costly. Vasectomy reversal is not cheap either, and it may not take. Discuss your options with a urologist, he will know best.

I'm not any where near an expert on the subject. But I would think undoing the vasectomy than having another would be the cheapest and easiest route. My brother and sis-in-law are trying all kinds of fertilization methods and it seems like a complete bear. If your husband is willing for two more methods, I would think the risks and costs would be much lower. Not to mention much easier on you. Fertilization is rough on the woman.

A vasectomy reversal is no guarantee and it could be expensive. Do you mean IVF vs IUI?? They can aspirate his sperm from him then inseminate you which is MUCH cheaper then IVF, or retrieve eggs from you and sperm from him then fertilize in lab and implant into you which is IVF. IUI's are a few hundred dollars but I don't know how much it would be to do the aspiration of the sperm. That cost is when it's given to them in a cup and they go from there. This is why they stress so much that vasectomies are permanent. Seems like everyone I hear of getting snipped regrets it or spouse regrets it at some point..

You can't make him change his mind! You knew going into this that you'd never have kids and you still chose to marry him. Don't make his life miserable by hounding him. He was honest with you in the first place, and you went back on your decision. You can't change him. Your choices are as follows: accept it and lay down your desire to have kids, and stay with him because you love him. Divorce him because you want kids more than you want him. Or make his life so miserable by nagging and begging that he ends up divorcing you because he can't live with you anymore. He already divorced one wife over this. Don't think it won't happen a second time. I apologize if this came across as snarky, but think about what you've done for a minute. You went back on your word. You changed your mind. Please, don't do something that would ruin your marriage. You may never have kids but at least you have a husband who loves you. Focus on that. Life will still be full and happy for you two. Poor guy, it's happening to him again.

Well, a vasectomy should be considered a permanent procedure, and no one should have one unless they know they never want another kid. Anyway, see a dr., and they can advise on you on a reversal.

I think there's a way to reverse the vasectomy, but you will have to ask a professional to make sure if it's even possible.

Why not consider adoption? There are so many unwanted children born in this country, probably in your city, give a child a good home.

This is something you should be discussing with your Dr. not people on Yahoo! I think your Dr. will be able to answer your questions better than any of us.

good luck !
