September 8, 2006

Hubby and I went and met the specialist who will do his vasectomy reversal today. He usually does 2 a week, and has done well over 2000. So he sounds like a great guy to have do the surgery.

We talked with him about the odds of the surgery working, and he says we have about a 90% chance of a typical reversal working even though its been about 25 years since he had the original vasectomy done. Even if that doesnt work, he can do a bypass with about a 70% chance of that working. It would be more expensive, but it sounds like even if a reversal doesnt work, we still have a fantastic chance of having biological children.

The date of his surgery is set to be August 18, so on September 8,2006 we will be actively trying to concieve!! If it somehow manages to happen the first month, we may have a baby in June next year.

well best of luck to you.

Wow, Missy. I'm surprised at how successful they are with reversals even after such a long time. I'm excited for you - it must be great to actually have the appointment set!

I have a feeling that there's going to be a few MTag babies next summer!!!!

A friend of my husband's had a reversal done and believe him, IT WORKS!!!

Although, the pain is immense. He was back to work in under a week and he is a construction worker. He has had 2 kids since the reversal. I think it's well worth it and the kids maybe a little more apperciated.

You may also not have to wait the entire "recovery" period. If he is up to it a little practice never hurt:p

Congratulations! I am so excited for you. :)

Thanks for all the positive posts!! I'm still really excited about getting things heading in the baby direction.

Tody, we signed a lease on a new two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. Now, when we actually get the chance to have a baby, we'll have room for it in our place.
