Pregnancy after vasectomy

I am not sure I'm in te right spot but a urologist performed the vasectomy so...  Is it possible to get pregnant 8 years after a vasectomy?  I have worried about it all night because I am 2 months late with my period and assumed it was stress related, but then I heard of some women getting pregnant after their men had vasectomies, some with twins and triples!  We have 7 seven kids already and although we would love to one together, we wanted to plan it.  Anyhow anyone can tell me the odds that I'm pregnant I would live to know before going to a clinic and embarrassing myself!  Thanks xo

Thank you all for your responses.  I would love to be pregnant just not yet, I am on a lot of medication and that worried me for the babies health.  When I am medically well and my fiancé gets a reversal of some sort we look forward to welcoming a baby into our lives.

Hi,

You most likely don't want to hear this, but we have some friends who had a daugther several years after the husdand had a vasectomy. In this case the couple allready had 5 children. Their youngest daughter was born 4 years after what they thought was their last child a son. Their daugther now 18 is a wonderfull young lady and has been a blessing to this couple. My wife and I never knew that the husband had undergone a vasectomy. They only told my wife and I after I had surgery to remove a testicle from comlications following a vasectomy.
Seven children can be overwheling, but the younger once can help to provide care for their younger sibling.
My mother inlaw can from a family of 11 siblings, only four of them are still with us and they are very close to each other. This July will be another family reunion from my mother inlaw's side of the family. When my wife and I got married, I met most of these family members since my inlaws also celebrated their 50th. wedding anniversary and family reunion on the same weekend that my wife and I had our first year anniversary.

In the event that you are pregnant, I'll pray that this child will be a blessing to you.

I miss my parents in laws and uncles and aunts very much, I could not ask for a better family to have married into.

God bless,

Ron

You are not saying how old you are, but could you be going through some menopause?

Hello,
Chances of pregnancy after vasectomy are very less but recanalisation can occur due to adhesion formation after many years of vasectomy also. If you are having delayed periods then do a urine for pregnancy test or get a serum pregnancy test done from your gynecologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
