Is Pregnancy Possible If One’s Partner Had A Vasectomy A Year Back?
Hi, Is it possible to get pregnant if my partner had vasectomy for more than one year? he had vasectomy reversal last January 2016. I didn t know that he did his operation until we move in last November 2016. And I want to have a baby. Please give me advice. Thank you
Hello and welcome to HCM, You can get pregnant since your partner has reversal operation for vasectomy. Your partner needs to get a semen analysis. A normal semen analysis will allow you to be pregnant.
It is possible but the success rate is 50 -70%. After a vasectomy reversal, the semen analysis at different appointments over several months is done. Every time, it is be noticed weather sperm are mobile and have returned to normal levels.
If your partner’s sperm levels appear to be normal, but you still can not not conceive within 1 to 2 years, then there are further testing, including checking for antisperm antibodies done.
