Vasectomy and pregnancy

Now, before any of you start berating me, I already know we were pretty stupid. So, here it goes....

I had my son on Oct. 5th. My husband had his vasectomy 2 weeks later. He went for one follow up with the dr. and got the a-okay, but never went for the second follow up. I have been having all kinds of medical problems with bleeding, pain, etc. but now that I am finally feeling fairly regular with the bleeding (we are still doing tests to check everything) my period is late. I had the depo shot in the hospital but nothing since because he got the okay from his dr.

What do you think the chances are that I am pregnant again? I'm really worried about this! It's so hard for me to see the symptoms because I have had pelvic pain almost constantly since I had Bryce and with all the irregular bleeding, who the heck knows what is going on with my body? I am having Bryan pick up a HPT tomorrow if nothing happens by then!

BUT, what do you (the experts ;) ) think?

My mom has a friend who got pregnant between the first and second sperm-free tests just like you are talking about.

I hope things turn out the way you want - good luck!

My husband is going to have a heart attack when I tell him THAT one! LOLOLOL.....and I am ready to cry. :crying2:

well, as the momma of 3 w/ a post vac dh....

i just gotta say....you go grrl! :imbar nice to hear of another couple still in love :chuckle

ps: I'll keep my fingers crossed for you...

My fingers are crossed for you.

I have heard so many stories from couples where one had surgery, and even of one story where they BOTH did! That's right. Had two, Daddy had a vasectomy, #3 was born, Mommy had her tubes tied, #4 was born! I am NOT kidding. Mommy and Daddy both went back and had the "triple therapy". Cut, cauterize, and tie! When my husband went for his vasectomy, I spoke with the doc and told him I wanted the "triple therapy" to be absolutely sure.

For those going down this road in the future... ask EXACTLY what will be done during the procedure... just cut and tie can grow back.

Crisis averted!

I knew that as soon as I mentioned this to anyone, my period would come and sure enough, first thing this morning it was here! Thank you all so much for the support and encouragement. I appreciate it!!!

Great to hear everything turned out ok :)

See everything is ok. I was going to vote in favor of a great possibility. A couple at my church had a vasectomy 16 years ago after 4 children. They just had a new baby in October!!!!!! Ooops!
