Vasectomy
Posted: 06-08-05 14:33pm

My boyfriend had a vasectomy 7 years ago. My friend knows someone that they had a vasectomy after their third child and then 8 years later, the wife was pregnant (she was faithful). How can that happen, and if it can, how often does it happen?

There are two ways (that I have heard of -- maybe there's more) ways of doing a vasectomy. One way they just cut the vas, the other way they cut it, burn it, tie it up and smash the bejesus out of it. The second way is extremely unlikely to reattach, but there have been instances where from just cutting it the ends manage to reattach so that the sperm delivery function works again. It is pretty rare -- less than 1%, i'm sure. You could ask your bf which sort they did.
