Has anyone got pregnant from a failed vasectomy?

[butterflyknh77]

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 :)

Im so sorry to hear about your loss. My husband went to the drs that actually performed the vasectomy, today. About a year after he had the vasectomy, he started to get depressed, gained weight, and had alot of health troubles, it also effected his sex drive. In may of last year he had his testosterone levels checked and turned out to be really low! 150 for a 32 year old male! He has been on testosterone suppliements since then, and now there is a new procedure out that they can insert pallets in the hip area that contain testosterone instead of getting the shots, or taking medication. He has a problem remembering to take his meds. So we actually went back to the dr that did his vasectomy for his testosterone problem. We brought up how I was a week late and the dr gave me a kind of foolish looking face, Like he doesnt believe me. Ive heard of stories of couples who have had a vasectomy done and turned out to be pregnant. It makes me mad that he thinks I couldnt be pregnant after he did the vasectomy four years ago. What was really kind of freaky, was that it was exacly 4 years ago TODAY that my husband had it done! And we end up in the same office where it happened today! Kind of spooky.,,,,

I did pick up a cheap test tonight on our way home. I havnt taken it yet, but Im thinking of waiting til the morning.

Hi I read your story and felt I had to reply as your situation sounds similar to mine. My husband had vasectomy in Feb 2006 whilst i was pregnant with our third child. My last period was November and when I went to my GP about some blood test results (Thyroid probs) I happened to mention my period was 3 weeks late. Test showed positive and I was sent for early US due to previous pregnancy complications. This was my 5th pregnancy. I carried baby for 9 weeks then started to bleed and unfortunately had a missed miscarriage. My advice if you feel it do a test put your mind at rest I dont think i will ever take anything for granted and anything can happen the emotional stress is just not worth waiting.

My husband I have three children, ages 6, 5 and 4 yrs of age. In February 2007, three months after our youngest was born, he had a vasectomy. He went back a couple times to see if all was "clear" and it was. Well now, 4 years later, Im sitting here with no period. My last period was January 19, 2011. I have 28 day cycles, and Im 5 days late. When I was 2 days late, I had this slight cramping for about an hour, and then it went away. Since, then Ive been noticing my breasts seem "fuller" and "tender". Other than that and a missing period, I dont know what it is. In the back of my mind, I thinking could I be pregnant? I havnt tested yet. Im too scared to. apart of me doesnt want to be pregnant, but then before my husband had a vasectomy, I always wanted 4 kids... I dont know if I can handle 4 kids though. Im still going back and fourth as to either wait it out, or test.

I'm 38.  My fiancee is 38.  I had my tubes tied six years ago, he had a vasectomy four years ago.  We are not testing to see if I'm pregnant.  I feel like I'm insane for even thinking it..... never in six years did it even cross my mind!  however, I had my period on 12/20/10... on the 6th of January I started feeling strange in my breast, tenderness, very erect and sensitive nipples.  Smells were driving me crazy!  Onions!!  Love them and the smell made me want to puke!  I thought, crazy.  Blew it off.  And then montgomery glands formed around my nipples, and blue veins across my chest... and I was sooo bloated.... and sick to my stomach.  I'm thinking.. flu.   Now, a red flag like when I was prego with my boys, I can squeeze my nipples and colostrum comes out!!!  So on 1/20 I thought I started my period.  Nope.  It was only a few spots of blood, started brown, then reddish/watery.  It did that for a little bit for a day and a half.. and then two days later, one time.   I feel like I'm sea sick.  I've taken hpt test, negative.  However, I tested late with my other two kids.  I made financee go get his swimmers checked!   We should know his count by Friday.... I'm hanging out and waiting.  Yes, I called my doctor.  They said wait two weeks and see if symptoms go away.. they're not.. and if I severe cramps, go to ER immediately.  I have cramps now, like nothing but they're there.. and I never have cramps.  I've felt like my period started, run to the bathroom and nothing.  I feel like a crazy woman for even writing this out.. but after reading this.. holy crap it's happened!!!!!   I'll keep you posted.... and if anyone has heard anything about this, please let me know... I'd be interested.   I never get sick.  I had a full blood work up in Nov of '10, and I'm assuming that if something was wrong, they would have caught it then..... any comments?  would appreciate it.

I am 41, mother of 5.  My youngest are 17 and a half years old(twins). My husband had his vasectomy when I was 7 months pregnant, I had been regretful for signinig the 'permission slip', praying for a good 12 years that his body would somehow repair itself. These past 5 years have been great, all my kids are indepndant, responsible, young adults. alowwing my husband and I to enjoy travelling and each other in a whole new free kind of way.
I have not had my Cycle now , for at least the last 3 months.  I say 3 because it could possibly be 4. I have not had to worry about 'paying attention' to my cycle for the last 17 years, so exact dates are unknown. I was not going to post any thing here, but changed my mind, because I am going to doctor for THE results tomorrow. And if I found out I am actually Pregnant well then I would definitely post it here anyhow, because either way pregnant, thyroid, menopause or even cancer, we have all come here to help or be helped via info... so, I sure have been helped so far by these posts(not feeling so crazy in my mind anymore, wishing I would have found this sooner, tho)     LOL
And tomorrow I will definitely tell y'all how the story goes! (but not before hubby finds out) P.S. If I find out I am blessed with Life again, we will be overjoyed, BUT a DNA is a must...I insisted, even tho I know the truth, I understand what obviously goes on in anybodys head
