    my DH had one but it was unsuccessful. the longer they have had the vasectomy the less likey it will work.

    I don't know anything about vasectomies, but, given your age, it might be worth getting your AMH/FSH tested first. If it is at a stage that only IVF will help (due to age based diminished ovarian reserve) then it might not be worth the pain and expense of going through a vasectomy iykwim.

    My bil had a reversal (around 3yrs after vasectomy I think) and they conceived the following month, and twice since then! He's a similar age to your dh but sil is 35 and this was 4 1/2yrs ago. I hope whatever you decide you are happy with the results life sure can be emotional and throw us curve balls sometimes tho.

    Thanks ladies. I think that it's mainly my age that I'd prefer to go this way. I'll leave it up to nature and she can decide for me. Obviously this isn't what most people would want to do, but, well, in my head at least it seems like something I'd prefer to do and something that I can cope with emotionally.

    My DP had the reversal done but it was a long time after he had the snip and it didn't work even though the surgeon was really happy with how the procedure went. He said that if it's been more than 3 years after the snip, the reversals are less successful. GL hun xoxox
