Has anyone got pregnant from a failed vasectomy?

My period is 2 weeks late as of today. I took two home pregnancy tests last week and both said negative. I have been late before but only by 3/4 days tops. I have been having some symptoms, but if I am pregnant why would it say no on the test? I don't have insurance so it's hard to just go to the doctor. Does anyone know the failure rait of a vasectomy? My husband had it done in sep 2005.

Any info would be great.
thank you :)

21 year old i have a tw0 year old boy and my husband got clipped a year ago.  About two weeks after my last period i just felt pregnant.  little bit og nausea, just feeling off.  My periods have always been 28 days bang on since i was 11 never been late or missed (except for my first pregnancy).  expecting my period in three days i took a pregnancy test two days ago and it was negative (i knew it was to early :s) so trying to be patient to wait for my period but my gut and my head all tell me i'm pregnant.   I wish i could just know!  updates later.

I am going thru the same thing. My boyfriend had a vasectomy many years ago. I am about a week late. Nausea and sore breasts, cravings I don't normally have. My boyfriend says no way! It can't be. He was married for 15 years and I think his V was about 12 yrs ago. I'm freaking out! I don't know what to do or think. Has anyone been there? I feel a bit better reading everyone elses posts. But I am so scared. Help!! it would be amazing because we want to try to have children together. But I am so scared he won't believe I didn't cheat. I have always been 100% faithful.

My husband had a V 7 years ago.  Our children are 11 and 9.  Life has been so crazy the last few moths I didn't connect the dots.  I have been extra tired I come home and take 4 to 6 hour naps sometimes.  The Last week my boobs have been swollen and sore. I even yacked up my vitamins a few weeks back. It wasn't til yesterday that I looked at a calender and realized it's been 8 weeks atleast since my last cycle.  Generally I wouldn't consider pregnancy, maybe I should.

I'm going through the same problem my fiance had a vysectomy because he didn't want any more kids. Well two years later Igot pregnant and  was upset that I wouldn't abort. He went to his Dr. and they told him his spem count was negative but he has to do another test next month. Well to make a long story short he has moved out, got a girlfriend and left me and our other two children to suffer with the mortgage and finance's. I'm really hurt because I know I didn't cheat and for him to move on so fast I feel like he was already dating someone else and thhat why he got yhe vysectomy in the first place.

My husband had a vasectomy six years ago.  Our kids are 10, 8 and 6.  Last spring, I felt pregnant and sure enough, I bled out like a miscarriage as soon as I caught on.  But a person always questions themselves so I didn't mention this to my hubbie at all.  I miscarried before my first child twice so I guess I should have trusted my intuition.  Sure enough, I was really sick, confirmed pregnancy and within a week, I'd miscarried again.  It's kind of a sad thing.  I'm starting to think of myself as a failure.  But if as some of you say, what's meant to be is meant to be.  I hope we have another one and that I can carry it now that I know his vasectomy must not have done the trick.  Robyn

Hi everyone. My husband had a vasectomy almost 4 years ago while i was still pregnant with our twins, we already had 2 children and he decided 4 was enough. For the past 2 weeks i have been feeling sick, faint on a few occasions, am sensitive to smells, peeing more often and i'm really aware of my uterus. I have tested twice but my period wasn't late at that point, i am now 2 days late but i'm too scared to test. I'm scared of what it could be if i'm not pregnant and what everyone will say if i am cos he's been done.

It's reassuring to see it has happened to other people. I have expressed my concerns to my husband and although he seems sure i'm not pregnant he has never once asked if i have been unfaithful, so if i am i know i wil have his support even if he is somewhat reluctant.
