I had a vasectomy, but now want another child. Can my sperm be extracted so that we can attempt to conceive?
Can a doctor go in and remove sperm for me and my partner to get pregnant? I had a vasectomy and really want a child with her.

Yes this can be done but it is expensive, difficult and success rates are not very high although they have very from place to place

Yes, your sperm can be extracted but is only able to be used with in vitro fertilization (IVF). This can make the whole process much more intense and expensive than a vasectomy reversal. A vasectomy reversal is usually the way to go.
Hope this helps,

Yes. This method is in vitro fertilization. There is a lot about this on the web and if you research a "reproductive clinic" in your area, there is probably a free phone consultation where you can discuss the process, cost, and success rates.

Yes, sperm can be extracted, but they must be used in conjunction with in vitro fertilitization (IVF).

Yes, but your wife would have to do IVF - ICSI.

Yes, certainly. Sperm retrieval using microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration or vasectomy reversal are both options available to you.
