Vasectomy Pregnancies

Exactly how common is it for a pregnancy to happen more than 10 years after a vasectomy has been performed?

If you've not been with others, I wouldn't worry about it. Even though the odds are very slim, failure always does happen. Nothing is 100% unless you have all your reproductive organs removed. If he doubts the child is his at all, I would have a paternity test done when the child is born.

Vasectomy has a 0.07-0.4% failure rate. The odds of it are slim. That being said however, did your partner ever go in and have follow up tests to make SURE he was actually sterile?
