PSA if you happen to be "VAS-ly different"

[Katastrophic]

Mother's Day seems like a good time to mention this and I like you guys so I hope it helps. It's part PSA and part vent.... We (th3w01f and I) found out a few weeks ago that we are having another baby (#3 to be precise)

Not a huge surprise on the surface, we all know how these things happen. The interesting and surprising part is that vasectomies are supposed to be +99% effective. Apparently you guys are supposed to get rechecked Every Year afterwards to ensure your junk doesn't grow back together!

The funny part is that we had just talked about if we'd made the right decision about this nearly 6 months ago and I suppose the choice was made for us. But seriously! 7 years after the big snip and I thought I had some major issue with my health. Scared the hell outta me.

I realize that this is nearly unheard of unless you've looked so that's why I felt compelled to mention it. I have heard too many stories about this scenario breaking up marriages.

In the end we are very excited about the little guy and look forward to the addition to our family. I count myself extremely fortunate to be married to my best friend and that we trust each other. I'm also thankful that this didn't happen 10 years from now.

thanks for freaking me out. I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight and my wife will be wondering "what did I do to make him mad."
I'll be calling for a doc visit first thing in the morning for another 'test.'

lol'd. That's my response if my wife's tubes come untied.

Congratulations Kat and wulf!

That happened to a buddy of mine 10 or so years ago. Congrats guys.

Um, sounds like it wasn't done properly. Stainless steel clamps along with a cut and cauterize the cut ends. All three methods were performed by my doc.

The vasa deferentia are cut (sometimes a piece removed), separated and then at least one side is sealed by ligating (suturing), cauterizing (electrocauterization), or clamping

Got snipped in October of 1992. If My wife gets preggers again it'll be a miracle - she quit having sex with me years ago. (Oh, I mean she's post menopause.)

Now, my harem of mistresses, well, that's another issue altogether.

LOL menopause is a great BC method, I'm sure.

As as for it being done improperly, well it was very thoroughly and properly done... http://www.vasectomy-information.com...nalisation.htm


It is, in fact, possible for the tubes to spontaneously regrow.

Now, my harem of post whores, well, that's another issue altogether.
