Vasectomy Reversal

in One & Done: Only child
So my co-worker was just telling me about how he had a reversed vasectomy after his wife decided she did in fact want another child. Would reversal ever come in question for any of you that have had a DH go through it?

    No, we got a V done when we were 100% sure. 100%.  = not wanting another ever. No ifs, buts or any situations would change this.

    That's how i figured it went. But apparently she (his wife) had some sort of crisis. It sounded horrible!

    We are making the decision in one year, and at that point we have hit our "window" of time for what we would want DD and a sibling to be apart, so there is no way we would reconsider at that point.

    She wasn't 100% then ;)
    I always feel bad for the husbands, yo. To have to get work done on their parts again. Blech!  Plus that just all-around sucks because it's not guaranteed it will even work and reverse.  So to want another and not be able sucks, I would guess.

    No way. Not only would I not want him to go through it if we weren't 100% sure, our doctor stressed to us that we shouldn't go into it thinking that it was going to be reversible. Not that it isn't a possibility, but it isn't as easy as the original procedure and it may not work so it's not a risk worth taking (the original snip) if you aren't 100% sure.

    DH took some comfort in knowing that sometimes it's reversible. Whatever it takes to get him to go through with it.

    My poor DH is already terrified enough as it is, we won't consider a reversal once he has it done.

    I'm still a fence sitter but if we go through the hassle of DH getting snipped I'd take that as a pretty good sign that we're done. I wouldn't make him get a reversal, I suppose if I really felt like I needed another child after that I'd look into adoption.

    Nope would never see that as something I would ask of DH. If we ever changed our mind we would go with adoption.

    We (should say I) had been about 90% OAD but waited until recently as DS will be 5 next week.  No way I'm toting around a 6+ year old and an infant!  We decided that if we ever felt the need for another we would consider adoption.
