Scarring over of the reconnection site happens in about 4% of successful vasectomy reversals. This scarring occurs usually in months 8-12 post reversal. The vas deferens is only 3 cells end-to-end in diameter...about the size of the "o" on a penny in the words "in God we trust". That's a small opening that can scar over or narrow easily. You could have conceived your first VR baby before this scarring took place. But the good news is, he still has a sperm count. It's not a zero. Scarring is complete by 18 months post reversal, so if your past that point, it's not going to narrow anymore. And other good news is that men's sperm counts can vary widely from time to time according to their health and other reasons. Maybe the SA was on a "bad" day; his counts might be ok. And finally, simple things like adding an anti-inflamatory medicine, like Aleve, and taking vitamin E can help with reducing that narrowing of the vas. The mineral Zinc has been shown to increase sperm counts. CoQ10 is another good thing to take because of it's anti-oxident features helping motility of sperm.
