A vasectomy just diverts sperm away from the ejaculate.

If the two of you want to have kids, the easiest thing to do would be artificial insemination. There’s no point in going in to reconnect everything when all you need is a sperm sample to accomplish what you need done.

I don’t know if 20 years with a vasectomy effects anything or not. Sperm seem to be ridiculously resilient in their regeneration … but adequate counts may be an issue at age 42 regardless.

Either way, you should see a reproductive specialist and be open to the idea of artificial insemination if they recommend it.

I am also 42. I had a vasectomy at age 21. I never had children, and planned it that way. A few years back I did a term paper on the subject. While it is true that I am no doctor, I can tell you that your chances are near zero.

Now for the "reality check"…..His chances were about 25% had he had the reversal done in the first five years. The chances go down from there. Are you aware that the surgery costs between $5000 and $10,000, takes three hours, and is very painful? Are you aware that ICF is almost always required and that costs about $17,000 per attempt? Are you aware that it usually takes 2-3 years to get pregnant after a vasectomy reversal? Are you aware that doctors are in the business of selling false hope? Are you aware that he will be 53 and have a teenager in the house?

Is there hope? Yes. Ask your doctors about "sperm aspiration". It is a lot less intrusive, cheaper, and has a lot better success rate (however IVF is still required).

The comment left by childfree wolf is rediculous as far as the chances are zero following a vasectomy reversal my husband is 48 had a vasectomy done 16 years ago had one testicle removed due to a cancerous cist and has had a vasectomy reversal done and are you aware wolfree child that a man never goes infertile as a woman and that fertility is regained within 3 months after a vasectomy reversal yes i agree age is a slight factor with conception however my husband has gave me my beautiful bouncing twin girls thanks to the advice and surgery provided by our amazing surgeon yes doctors of this kind surgeons do make alot of money from thsi procedure but the operation is a complex surgery and the man who had teh vasectomy done knew that this would be a 100% affective therefore i agree with the fees for this kind of operation I do not feel the doctors give false hope they well inform you if all the chances the dos the donts the maybes and so on they made us fully aware of the statistics and in saying that the only surgeons that make rediculous ammounts of money are cosmetic surgeons who revel in peoples vanity theres is no price i wouldnt pay to achieve a family .
As for IVF the chances of complications are very high and also the chances of twins triplets so on is at a higher risk In my oppinion and my oppinion only a vasectomy reversal is the best solution and from my husbands experience he had less pain after the vasectomy reversal than when he had the actual vasectomy done . Good luck to all who is trying for a family and god bless xxx
