My husband had a vasectomy 7/11/08. We had all the post vasectomy appointments and after two sperm tests, we were told "good to go" . Yesterday, I had a miscarriage! I am 43 years old. I hadn't had my period for a few weeks, and thought I was in perimenopause and didn't give it much thought. Of course looking back, the signs were there that I was pregnant, but it really never occurred to me that I could be pregnant, it's been 16 months! Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Well, it's been 2 months without a period. It is now a new month. December 1st, 2009. I didn't have a period in October and I didn't have a period in November. I've always had a period. In my mind there can be a number of reasons I did not get my period for 2 months.
1/ I have hyper thyroidism, 2/ I've lost a lot of weight in the last year or 3/ I'm pregnant. Well, my boyfriend of a year had a vasectomy with his ex wife 8 years ago. Other than relying on the fact that he had a vasectomy, there were no other forms of birth control used. I have 2 kids; 15 & 12 and he has a kid that is 9. Together we have no kids. My ex husband had a vasectomy after my daughter was born so it was known 12 years ago that I would not have kids and now in my new relationship, I committed to him knowing he had a vasectomy. Not once did I consider that we would have kids together. I knew we would not, except for the ones we all ready had. And now, I can't explain missing a period for two months, sore breasts, upset stomach to the point of wanting to throw up, urging and some minor cramps. Am I pregnant? I will find out tonight.
I'm like every other woman. Sure, I love babies. Sure I sometimes wish I still could get pregnant, but again I like having my freedom. Gosh, I don't even know what I would do. I'm so confused. I know that I'm not wishing to be pregnant. But, I feel stupid for wondering. I'm 36.

It is definetly possible to get pregnant after a vasectomy. My husband had a vasectomy almost 11 years ago after the birth of our 3rd child. We thought we were done having kids until this past June when I was late. I thought it was stress because of my job and an upcoming family reunion. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I still didn't think I was pregnant so I made an appointment with the Dr. the next morning. I told him I couldn't be pregnant because of my husbands procedure and the Dr. told me that you can get a false positive if you have some kind of uterine cancer! They did a blood test but while we were waiting for that he sent me to the hosital to have an ultra sound to look for a cancer. We didn't find any cancer. We found that I was 5 weeks pregnant! My fourth child will be born this March. It is still unreal to me. My other children ages 16, 14, and almost 12 are just as shocked as me and my husband!

I see this post is pretty old, but every now and then I feel compelled to read about this because of something very strange that happened to me.

My DH and I have five children, and after I found out I was pregnant with #5, he got a vasectomy. We both agreed that this was a good idea (we had five kids in five years, including a set of twins, and we figured we'd have five more if we didn't do something) and neither one of us has had any regret. We both like our family size, I don't have any deep desire for another baby, etc..

However.... about two years ago, I was two whole weeks late for AF. I am usually like clockwork, even to the HOUR, every 28 days and I also have a pain every month when I ovulate, all of which I record on a calendar (out of habit, even though it never crossed my mind that I could get pregnant), and on this day that I was two weeks late, I looked at my calendar and saw that I ovulated four weeks prior. When I realized I was THAT late, I went to the store and bought a pregnancy test because I had ALL of the symptoms of pregnancy. And because I had been pregnant four other times, I am more than a little familiar with the sensation of being pregnant. My breasts were sore, I felt the "slightly nauseous" feeling I have had with the other pregnancies, I was exhausted, etc. I took the test and thought I saw a very, very faint line that would indicate that I might have been pregnant, but because it would just be so impossible, I talked myself out of it. The same thing had happened with my first child--we had taken a pregnancy test, but the line was so faint, we figured I wasn't pregnant and we didn't take another one until two weeks later when I STILL didn't have a period. I told myself this time that if I still didn't have a period in two weeks, I would take another test.

A week later, I DID get AF, but it was a strange AF. I remember I was putting the Christmas tree up and suddenly I had such horrible cramping that I actually went to bed with a heating pad (and with five kids, I never do that for any reason). I couldn't even walk. And when I looked at the AF, it was full of huge blood clots and a great deal of grayish matter--some of it sort of a rubberish/thick skin texture, some the texture of string If I had thought I was pregnant, I would have sworn this was a miscarriage (I have fortunately never had a miscarriage, unless you count this, which I'm not sure I do because again, I couldn't see how I could have been pregnant). I realize it could have been other things--I did google the symptoms--but it was very miscarriage-like. And I have had no other problems prior to then, or since. If I did have a miscarriage, I'm sure it's because when we aren't expecting to get pregnant, we don't necessarily take as good of care of our bodies as we should (ie: I drank a LOT of coffee, and at least two glasses of wine every night--something I have recently stopped doing, just in case--and also for my own health). I do think about it a lot, especially lately when one of my twin daughters said--when we were all out walking on a boardwalk the other day as a family--"I feel like we're leaving someone home. We're all here, but keep thinking we are missing someone. Like we left someone home alone." Or when both my husband and I have had dreams that we were going to have a baby (I had this dream last night--which is kind of why I am here).

I never even told DH about that time because there was no need. And if that WAS a pregnancy, then it was a very special miracle, and it means it could happen again. Not that I'd be upset if it didn't--I like my life the way it is. But if it did? Very, very cool. It would be a very special miracle indeed.

Just my two cents.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one freaking out right now. I'll be 40 in October and have a 14 and 12 year old from my first marriage. The last thing I want to do is start over. My husbands vasectomy was 10 years ago when we started dating knowing that the two girls i brought into our relationship were perfect for us. He said last night that he never went back for the follow up tests. He's almost 48 and never had kids of his own and never had the desire to have his own. I love babies and went through infertility with my first husband, but the thought of bringing another baby into this out of control world is breaking my heart. I told my husband this morning, still nothing and now I am two weeks late and always on time every 28 days. All I can think of right now is, if for some reason I am PG that must be one really strong kid really wanting to be here! I told my cousin last night that I am worried and she thought it was funny... I feel too old to have a new baby and don't want to be 58 when they are graduating high school!

My fiance had a vasectomy 8 years ago after his last child with his ex wife. Ironically, we worked well together, because I never planned on having children of my own, so when I found out he had a vasectomy, it was like woohooo....... :-D
I was on the pill for 10 years (ages 17-27) and stopped taking it because of all the health problems they seem to start. So, I have been free and natural for two years now.

My period is suddenly two days late. This has never happened to me, on the pill or off. I am really freaked out, and I swear I feel like I might be having cramps, but then it ends up being gas pain. I literally dreamed last night that I got my period, so when I woke up I ran to the bathroom then realized it was a dream. It is Friday, I think I may have to go buy a test on Sunday if it doesn't come yet. I'm not having any other strange symptoms, or familiar PMS ones.

I keep asking him if it is possible. He said no, only in the first year if something goes wrong in the surgery, and he went back to all his follow up appts and was told he was fine, but now I am reading all of these stories and am suddenly wondering. I guess the body will do what it wants to do........................At this point I am kind of hoping it is pregnancy, because I would be more worried that something else is wrong. We shall see.

wow..your story scares me. I had a dream I was pregnant with twin girls and in the dream I was confused how that could be when he had a vasectomy in 1999 right after our 3rd son was born, about 11 years ago as well. My boys range from age 16, 13, and 10. I remember waking up from that dream feeling weird in my uterus. I told my husband about it right away. I didn't think that was possible. Then I looked it up online and heard of "RECANALIZATION" when the vas deferens grows back and reconnects. My husband says they snipped and burned his and doesn't think it is possible. Did your husband have the same procedure done?
