Yes. If you elect to have a vasectomy reversal there are several factors that affect success. The most important is the length of time between the vasectomy and the reversal...the shorter the period the better the chances. The experience of the surgeon, your health, and the health and age of your wife also are important. The success rates of a large study can be found here:

The choices are having a vasectomy reversal or sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization.

I had a vasectomy before meeting my partner and now that we will be marrying soon, we'd like to start a family. So I had a vasectomy reversal three months ago. I have not ejaculated more than 10 times for purity purposes before marriage. I had my sperm tested after the reversal procedure and it shows that the sperm has not returned. Can we hold out hope? Is there a chance the sperm will return?

I'm 35 and I don't think I want to have children. If for some reason I do find someone later on in life, and I want to have kids does it matter how old I am? Could I be 45 and get a reversal? Should I not get a vasectomy if I think I'll want kids?
