Yes. The chance is reported at 1 to 0.7% but may be higher based on several issues.
It is possible for the vas deferens to grow back together. Some doctors snip a section out to prevent this. However, it is a possibility.
The most likely time period for a post vasectomy pregnancy is the first few months after the procedure. During this time birth control should be used and continued until there have been two semen analyzes without any sperm.
To quote one source:
The researchers discovered that six of the 540 women whose husbands underwent vasectomies became pregnant six to 72 weeks after the procedure, ... two of the pregnancies occurred more than 12 months after the procedure. According to the study, the cumulative probability of contraceptive failure two, three and five years after vasectomy is 11.3 per 1,000 procedures."

Certainly a pregnancy test is a valid option. It may also be well to have a semen analysis done to check for sperm.
You could ask the physician what procedure was used during the vasectomy and determine if post operative semen analysis was done.

My brother got fixed a few months after his third child was born...6 weeks later he and his wife were pregnant again.
After number four was born she got her tubes tied...its been 15 years now I think they are really done now!

Pray to God continuously mutually as attempting, as God helps people who help themselves fairly than people who're lazy. Lord Krisna reported in Bhagavad Gita, we ought to continuously carry out our works and resign the fruit of our action. So we ought to maintain attempting and locate excitement in doing our artwork, even if if or no longer we get the needed result. we ought to continuously no longer lose desire. Do your appropriate and leave the rest to God,it somewhat is going to all come maximum appropriate some day or night.

Yes it is possible.
It is also possible to become pregnant after you have your tubes tied. I have a little sister to prove it.

"Post vasectomy fertilization has been recorded. The risk is low and, of course, lower still if you've had negative sperm counts. However, it is possible."
