My husband had vasectomy but now we want kids.
Yes but the chances of success are about 50-50

Absolutely! Vasectomy Reversal can be quite successful when performed by high-quality urologists who specialize in microsurgery of all types—not just vasectomy reversal but also microsurgical testis tissue extraction, microsurgical varicocelectomy, etc.
Your fertility potential is important as well, and proper counseling and advice will always include you in the mix. Most young women are just fine but occasionally, especially if older, an evaluation of ovulation, tubal status, etc can make all the difference in the world to your success.
Most of us who concentrate on male reproductive medicine and surgery (Male Infertility) take a comprehensive approach to you as a couple to make sure that all is well with you and to maximize not only success of the procedure but, most importantly, your chances of getting pregnant.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Robert Oates (Boston)

Yes, vasectomy can be reversed. As long as the vasectomy has been within the last 10 years, the chance of successful return of sperm to ejaculate is 80-90%.

It can be reversed but not 100 % successful

Absolutely. The most cost effective solution for you is a vasectomy reversal. However, time from vasectomy, other reproductive issues, and age of the couple can impact the success of a reversal. Even so, the chance of viable sperm in the post reversal ejaculate is 90 plus percent in the hands of an experienced surgeon. This enhances the success of in vitro fertilization when used as a secondary option.

Vasectomy can be reversed, it is not covered by any insurance plans, you will have to pay for the procedure
