Newbie - TTC and V-Reversal

[FaithMom]

So my husband had the big V about 7 years ago after his last child with his ex wife.

We went for a consult for a v-reversal and the Dr. said he felt like we had a 50% or less of conceiving. =( Heart breaking.

History:

Me - 29, two little girls 9 and 7
Him - 38, three little girls 11, 9, and 7

He had kids easily with his ex and I got pregnant easily with my ex.

The Dr. only charges $1,500 for the operation and he only does 1 per year. He's a urologist. For the Dr.'s that do this all the time, it's about 5K-8K and we just can't afford that.

He is calling today for his operation date and I feel anxious.

I am just curious if anyone has been given these seemingly terrible odds and still managed to conceive?

Thanks in advance!

Oh and I should add, I have irregular cycles - maybe about 6-7 periods per year. I suspect PCOS but have never been officially diagnosed. But I did manage to have two other children, so I am still hopeful. I got pregnant the first "try" both times with my girls with irregular periods.
