 Posted: 03/22/06 - 15:02 Post subject: Pregnancy or Perimenopause? Husband has vasectomy.... |
  |
|
| In February I had a period of sorts that lasted 12 days and began 1 week early. I have always been regular as clockwork. Now I am 12 days overdue for my March period (calculated by when my period should have started in February normally) My husband has had a vasectomy for 15 years. I am 45 years old. My nipples are a little sore, also the sides of my breasts. I am having to pee a lot and having little tingling sensations in my lower abdomen. This morning when I got up I felt a little light headed and during the day, off and on I feel a bit sick to my stomach. It seems like food smells are also stronger. I took a clear blue easy test 2 days ago and it said negative. I am scheduled to see my doctor in a few weeks. Is pregnancy at this stage of the game and under these circumstances even a possibility? |

Considering your husband had vasectomy and that you already started experiencing period irregularities, I would contribute all your other symptoms to hormonal fluctuations and perimenopause.
Fluctuation of hormonal levels, especially estrogen can lead to all sorts of weird symptoms, most of them we would love to avoid. Periods may become irregular, heavies, lighter, shorter, longer, missed, etc. Genital area gets dry due to low levels of estrogen and makes us more open to infections, especially urinary tract infections that you may be experiencing at the moment. Some women become unable to hold urine longer and others experience leakage during exercise, or coughing or running. So, these kind of symptoms you could also attribute to perimenopause.
Estrogen can also make your breast sore, usually it is excessive estrogen (I usually have it in PMS or during ovulation) but I reckon that fluctuation could do that too (I am not expert though).
You could wait for another couple of days and have another pregnancy test. If it turns negative, I reckon it is the hormones. |

| Posted: 10/20/06 - 09:43 Post subject: pregnancy after vascetomy |
|
|
| I just had a miscarraige last week. My husband was 17 years post-vascetomy. He's certain that he was tested and got the all-clear. To top it off, I was taking Yasmin birth control pills to regulate my periods (I've had trouble all my life with 18 day periods etc.). My husband thinks that the doctor is wrong, but I took the expelled tissue mass to the doctor and they sent it to a lab for confirmation. I guess we'll get another opinion next week when he returns to the urologist for another sperm count. |

| Thanks for the information on this page. My husband has also had a vasectomy this year. I'm 42 and am experiencing very similar feelings re: menstration irregularities re: length, heaviness (after being like clock work until this year). This month I have no period for the first time ever. I feel very swollen in the abdomen & breasts. For 2 days I felt "sea sick" and all year am always feeling warm usually at night. I would not say "Sweats..because I'm not heavily sweating". I know I'm not pregnant. I read alot of the replies and found them very helpful and informative. |

|
|
| I am almost in the same boat as all of you. My boyfriend had a vasectomy almost 2 years ago and I have just discovered I am pregnant (3 home test , a late period, and waiting for a doctors appointment) I 'm almost positive I'm pregnant. Now my only problem is convinving him that I have been completely faithful to him and that it is possible for us to get pregnant. I am a firm believer that it is possible because I am the product of a pregnancy after a tubal ligation so this kind pof stuff does happen. I have done research and it says that the chances are sooooooooo small.Could he be that 1 in 2000? |

|
|
| I know what most of you are going through. My husband just had a vasectomy 2 months ago and now we think we are pregnant, again. And I have been on the new pill YAZ, wish now that I had stayed on Yasmin. I have been sick and throwing up, food is not my friend, I can't stop peeing and on top of it all, we just had a baby 3 months ago!!! We have three children and wanted 4 but pregnancy is just to hard on me. I was in the hospital until I delivered our son, from 9 weeks on. So this is really scary for us right now. |
