Hi Ladies,

I would like to join. Thanks for starting such a great thread. My husband got a vasectomy reversal at the end of the year last year. When the procedure was done the surgeon said he saw active sperm which was a really good sign for success. My husband has two teenage kids from a previous marriage that live with his ex-wife in another state. This will be my first child though. I am ten years younger than my husband. I am in my early 30's and DH is in his early 40's. He got the original procedure around the mid 90's though so alot of time passed before we got the reversal, about 14 years before it got reversed.

We had him give a sperm sample after about 8 months from the procedure and the results were:

(Mind you it has been 8 months since the reversal and the dr's office said that the number can continue to go up over the next 1 to 2 years... so we can retest again in about 6 months if I am not pregnant yet....)

Here are the figures.....

-5 million total count
-36% motility

The dr's office said that a fertility specialist would probably say the numbers were low....BUT...... she says all it takes is one sperm to get me pregnant. Wish us luck!!!!!!

:wave: glad to have you in the 'club' we are always pleased to have new members to share our journeys with.

It only takes one, thats my exact feeling!!

good luck and I hope you enjoy your TTC journey!! xxx

Sarah- I'll ask hub bout the epi thing tonight

I know he was swollen in general for quite a time but not sure now x

I'm going to google it now in fact.... DH quite often makes me feel his bits saying it feels swollen and sometimes tight, is it the bit at the base of the shaft, the bit that meets the balls?? i'll have a look, but i'm sure anything like that is normal, but it's only natural to worry Sarah xx

 

[justmarried]

i always say i would wait MrsEssex but im so impatience lol... But like you said they would get dishearting so i'll try not too

Yes V, we aren't far behind each other and your cycle are longer than mine so maybe...
had 'O' pain this afternoon and this evening so shes on her way
i'll let you know as soon as i see a +

did anyones hubby seem to have a swollen epididymis ?

if its what i think it is then yes(the top of the seem just below the winkie) lol my hubbys had that for the last few days. he said its not painfull but helps if he wears tighter undies. i no hes not ment to but he wore them all day yesterday tighty whitys and he seems alot better today. so back to breezy boxers today. if its not what i think it is then sorry cant help.x.x.x.x.x.

 

[MRSRICHRS2K]

Afternoon ladies yes i think we are on about the same place. I have google imaged a picture to try and describe it better lol....

the part labelled epididymis feels swollen and the Anastomosis/ vas deferens is very feelable aswell (feels like a tube?)

 

[live_in_hope]

thanks for the pic, yer he has had swelling there before and we could feel a lump, but I told him it must be normal and not to worry if it wasnt hurting him, I guessed there would be some sort of lump after the VR as it may be scar tissue or something. But where he says it's hurting and has a lump is where justmarried said, right at the base, just above the top of the incision (which you cant see at all now!!)

Sarah, did your DH have one or two incisions as my friend had his done and they made two incisions at the top of each testicle, whereas my DH had one big one right down the centre of his balls (ouchy) xx

 

[live_in_hope]

just got my first '+' opk!!!! and DH is out tonight, his band has a gig god damn it!!!! and my sister is out tonight so it would have been perfect!!! better get a silent quicky in when he gets homefrom work!! ooohh, isn't it romantic, this making babies business!!! xx

 

[mrsessex]

Hello everyone :wave:

Hows everyones Saturday?

All this talking of winkies & nut sacks making me giggle

My hubby had one cut up his balls about 2 iches long i think..not two cuts.

Well, I think im about to get my period! all be it quite early as i have the usual cramps going on, was very emotional yesterday and badly craving choccy ...i knew i wasnt up the duff could just feel it, plus caved and took a ebay cheapie test this morning, im 10dpo/11dpo and was clear white negative, thought id take it to make sure so could just get on with next month, so in a funny way.... i feel bit relieved! DONT ask my why..

Ive also chucked out my opk sticks today and pre seed.

Im not the type of person to 'do' stress and i do NOT want the tcc'ing to take over my life, which it has done the last month, ..and i didnt like ME at this time

So...we're just going with the flow and it happens it happens.

I'll still be around on the forum just wont be talking bout ovualting as we're gonna just go back to when we feel like it.

Hi Mrs Rich,

I was asking my DH about his reversal and he says his balls were both swollen and enlarged in general after the procedure. He noticed his right side was more swollen than the other though. He had incisions on both sides of his balls though, and where the incisions were made he says it was swollen mostly there, but more so on the right side for some reason.

I would suggest having your OH talk to the DR that did the surgery to ask for advice on what is normal healing for him. Does your OH have a follow up scheduled with the DR to see how he is healing? Is there any signs of infection, like redness? Good luck Mrs Rich, I hope he has a speedy and good recovery!!

My DH felt the lump too after he first had the surgery, but now 10 months after the surgery the lumps are gone, and he says he doesnt feel them anymore...
