My father had the vasectomy 8 years ago he had it topsy-turvy in 2006. We have the fifteen month aged son together, is it probable for him to have an additional child

He needs to have his semen tested for sperm content. He’s had a kid since the reversal, though, so I’m pretty sure he should be able to have another.
Unless he has some other problem then I don’t see why not.. After all you have conceived since the reversal.
It shouldnt be a problem at all since you have already had one child together since the reversal.
IF you are worried about it though – you can get his sperm tested, although they might not do that for you since you have had a child after reversal.
Good luck!
If it happened once then I don’t see why it couldn’t happen twice. Good luck!!
Wait a minute! Your husband had a vasectomy 8 years ago and had it reversed just 2 years ago. How could you have a 15 month old son if you think the reversal did not work. Of course, it is possible. I would have never thought that you would get preg right away after he had a reversal.
The growing popularity of vasectomy as a primary form of birth control has also created an increasing demand for vasectomy reversal (VR). The advent of IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection after sperm retrieval has given couples an alternative to traditional VR. Although VR remains the most cost-effective and natural way to conceive after vasectomy, competing interests and market pressures have encouraged the development of this assisted reproductive technique (ART). The success of VR is dependent on several variables. The length of time since vasectomy and an individual surgeon’s experience appear to be the most significant factors and are equally important. The success of this procedure is highly contingent on adherence to strict surgical principles of creating a water-tight, tension-free anastomosis, along with the appropriate decision whether to perform either a vasovasostomy or epididymovasostomy at the time of VR.

If you already conceived once after reversal, you know the tubes are probably patent (although long term patency may be as low as 60%).
So the answer is yes, you an he can have another baby. If you want to be sure you are not wasting all the added sex that comes from trying in vain, you might see if he would go get a semen analysis to assure patency and adequate sperm count and quality. Of course, I’m sure he won’t mind a lot of trying…
