My husband had a vasectomy 16 years ago and now we want to get pregnant. Any advice?

There is the possibility of pregnancy. Vasectomy reversal is highly unlikely to be successful. However, sperm harvesting directly from the testicle with subsequent implantation is also possible. It takes a specialist in these areas in order to do this successfully

His two broad options are vasectomy reversal or aspiration of sperm combined with an IVF cycle.

All the best,

Two major options: Microscopic vasectomy reversal where the tubes are reconnected, or IVF in which sperm are aspirated from the male and an egg from the female. These methods are easily researched on the internet. Most people make their choice based on their situation, cost, likelihood of success and after assessing the availability of each in the area they live.
