Pregnant after Vasectomy?? :/

So....my partner & I have 5 beautiful children between us (His are DD7 & DS 5) (Mine are DD9, DS 4 & DD 2.5). We feel like our family is complete, & my partner had a Vasectomy before me met about 2 years ago.

My period is now 8 days late & I had spotting (light pink smears) mid cycle. I never spot.

Holy moly.....

Too scared to do a HPT yet...

Anyone else fallen pregnant after a Vasectomy!!??!!

If I am pregnant, it will be a shock, but a beautiful miracle...although I am loving the independence if having no babies.....

Arghhhhh!!!

Do you know what kind of vasectomy it was? Like, exactly the technique used? I have heard of people getting pregnant from one technique from not the other.

My Aunty had 4 gorgeous girls, and my Uncle had a Vasectomy. She fell pregnant again quite a while after (not sure exactly how long as I can't remember off hand how old my youngest and 2nd youngest cousins are), and had another little girl. So it does happen.

Does he remember if he went back after a few months and had his sperm count confirmed as zero? Failure is more common in men who never checked, although not impossible for those who did.

Best wishes for whichever outcome you get!

I have never heard of it... I would have to POAS there is no way I could wait!

Yes it is possible. Best of luck with whatever the outcome is.

Yep its possible. My brothers best mate and his wife had four children, he had a vasectomy and they are now expecting number 5. Their youngest is about 4 yo

It's one of my fears LOL. Every time I'm late I start getting a bit antsy and even 2 months ago I was nudging 60 days on my cycle and I did do a test. It is entirely possible to fall pg again afterwards and some techniques do have higher chances of failure than others - usually the one where they use clips on the vans deferens instead of actually cutting and suturing them. Maybe it's just one of those things - I notice as I'm getting older my cycle is changing a lot too now as I head towards peri-menopause but it would probably put your mind at ease if you did a test.

bump...to Faithful Mumma did you POAS and were you UTD?

2 days late, have had spotting just before AF was due. I don't feel pregnant but the nagging thought is there. DH had a vasectomy in 2008 but I have been using hormonal contraception since then to reduce period pain but I came off it a couple of months ago. This of course could be the reason for the missing period. However my normally very low cervix is currently very high (barely reachable) and quite soft so again, the thought is there.

Ironically I recently asked DH to have his vasectomy reversed and when we talked about it we decided it was a bad idea and our family was complete. Only time will tell if the decision is in our hands or not I guess. He didn't ever get his sperm count checked :/
