Pregnancy after vasectomy
by Paula N, May 24, 2007 12:00AM
My husband had a vasectomy over seven years ago. I am 41 years old and am a week overdue for my period. I have also been experiencing frequent urination. I took two home pregnance tests with both results being negative. What is the likelihood that I'm pregnant? Could these two symptoms indicate something else I should follow up or should they be considered independently?
Thank you,
Paula

Dear Paula
You can follow up with a blood pregancy test, but home pregnancy tests are very accurrate, so that a negative home pregnancy test (particularly after a vasectomy) is very reliable. I highly doubt you are pregnant. The frequent urination and late period are most likely unrelated. It is not that unusual to miss a period from time to time., or to be late. If this persists, I would recommend seeing your ObGyn.
