Is there anyone one her who is going through or maybe has been through a vasectomy reversal?

My father only had his annulment finished upon May 29, 2009. Almost 3 months ago. We went to the do yesturday as well as you were told he already has the normal spermatazoa count. we was wondering if this is normal, as well as how prolonged it has taken any one else to get pregnant?

Usually that takes 2-3 years, if at all. Odds are your hubby is the very first client the surgeon has ever had that had a normal sperm count in less than two years.
Vasectomy reversal is more about salesmanship than results.
Wow, you’re quite fortunate! It isn’t really ‘normal’ for that to happen…a lot of men don’t get a good count, so count yourselves lucky! When was his vasectomy done? Was it not too long ago? Usually the longer it’s been done, the harder it is to get things to work again.
Good luck
My husband had one 2 years ago we are now going through IVF. They said it worked but his motility (how many swim) is a low %. Thats fantastic that his count is good so he should be able to get you prego in no time. Good luck im glad everything went goo for you two
Vasectomy reversal is effective in returning sperm to the ejaculate in up to 95% of men. The success rates drop with time since vasectomy. Why? Because vasectomy damages the testes and causes testicular fibrosis in many men.
See this abstract:To determine whether there are any deleterious changes in the human testis after vasectomy, we obtained testicular biopsy specimens from 31 healthy men undergoing vasectomy reversal and from 21 healthy, fertile volunteers. Morphometric analyses of these specimens revealed a 100 per cent increase in the thickness of the seminiferous tubular walls (P less than 0.001), a 50 per cent increase in the mean cross-sectional tubular area (P less than 0.001), and a significant reduction in the mean number of Sertoli cells (P less than 0.01) and spermatids (P less than 0.01) per tubular cross section in the post-vasectomy group, as compared with the control group. Focal interstitial fibrosis was observed in 23 per cent of the specimens from the post-vasectomy group and in none from the control group. There was a significant correlation (P less than 0.01) between interstitial fibrosis and infertility in patients who underwent a surgically successful vasectomy reversal (sperm in the ejaculate). None of the other measured characteristics correlated with infertility after vasectomy reversal. We conclude that significant morphologic changes occur in the human testis after vasectomy. The presence of focal interstitial fibrosis was associated with a high incidence of infertility in this series.
Anyway, it is normal for sperm to return to the ejaculate fairly quickly and after a reversal, the patient is told to get his semen checked at three months after the surgery.
About 50 to 60% of couples (with no other infertility issues) are able to conceive within one to two years after reversal. The man who posted that vasectomy reversals are ineffective and are about salesmanship is clearly mistaken. His prior posts on vasectomy suggest he is a vasectomy cheerleader. That is my phrase for men who have had a vasectomy who try to convince others to get one and only talk of the positive outcomes with vasectomy.
In survey studies of hundreds of men, up to one third have persistent pain after the procedure and at least 10% of men are dissatisfied with the procedure and its effects on their genitals or sexual function.
