Hi there,

My partner had a vasectomy reversal about 2 months ago, we got results back that it had worked and there were live sperm getting through.
We have not been using contraception, but at the same time not trying to get pregnant, just going with the flow as we don't want to get our hopes up, as I have had PCOS and now possibly Endometriosis. So after all this my period is late this month, only by 4 days at the moment, so my question (sorry about all the info!) is how long should we wait to take a pregnancy test? I really want to like right now, but my partner thinks we should wait. It's just so hard as I already have my hopes up! But the only other symptom I seem to have is being a bit nauseous and having to pee a lot!
