The procedure and doc I am going to is allegedly 98% reversible. But, that's expensive and apparently way more painful. PLUS, i like the advantages that come with artificial insem. Such as choosing the sex, screening for diseases, TIMING etc.
MESO-Rx
Anabolic Steroids
Vasectomy....?
- Thread starter Wunderpus
- Start date
That's kind of cool, never heard of all that. I guess the one I'm doing is just standard. No money for anything more complicated or for freezing sperm. I don't ever see changing my mind anyway, this is something I've known since I was a kid myself.
Here I am going through hell trying to regain my fertility and this guy wants to get a voluntary vacetomy. Jesus.
Priorities change bud.
You are freaking 20 years old.
You will probably date a girl who wants kids one day. And you may want them too.
I think you're an idiot but that's just me lol

I've avoided saying anything rude to you as I've seen your posts and threads pop up with your continual issues... But I hope you worry more about your own, never fucking ending issues instead of worrying about someone else's life decisions.
As I've stated previously a vasectomy should NOT be considered a viable form of male contraceptive therapy
as reversal is not guaranteed
by any means.
The latter is highly dependent upon the "type" of vasectomy performed AND the interval between the two procedures.
To that end pregnancy rates as high as 95% are often quoted in the FIRST YEAR yet this rate declines to a meager 30% at TEN YEARS!
The lower 10 year rate occurs
bc of the development of scar tissue that extends BEYOND the
operative site.
For these reasons, in the absence of a "genetic defect", very few urologists will perform a vas in anyone less than the age of 25 unless compliance with relatively strict criteria are adhered to.

No amount of searching I do shows numbers anywhere near this. Can you point me to your source? I'd like to read the study.
Who is 20 years old in this thread? Some people get so bent out of shape when you say you never want kids, lol. It's cool, we all have different priorities in life.

It's not all bad. There have been quite a few times things would've been a lot easier for me if I'd have had a vasectomy instead of having kids.[emoji23] Who am I to judge whether or not someone should become a father or not. Not everyone is cut out for it or wants to be.
No amount really, I doubt that bc I located that info in FIVE MINUTES
Try Googling Vasectomy reversal rate
using these two qualifiers
- "patency rate"
- pregnancy rate
The former results are indeed higher but are irrelvant if they
don't correlate with female conception which is why I quoted
the latter pg rates and if you can't find what I've cited your NOT looking very hard IME
I don't disagree with that... Except no one in this thread discussing it is 20 years old.
Exactly, I'm not trying to talk anyone out of it. If you want them and can afford them you should have them. If not that's okay, too. There's arguments for both sides, which one suits you depends on you.
I found similar data on Web MD
And I'm not an anti-Vas doc either bc I had it done at age 35, after I had two kid'os something my wife DESPERATELY wanted!
Just KNOW what you're getting yourself into beforehand!

Let me suggest you pin (pardon the pun) that Doc down on how he defines "REVERSIBLE", bc I can almost promise you he's citing the BEST case scenerio, AKA the first three year PATENCY rate!
Hmm, I'll ask. He's pretty well-respected regionally, and doesn't seem like a bullshitter. It is possible, though, that his numbers are off. But, anywhere around 98% seems good to me. Now, this procedure is called the "No needle, no scalpel" vasectomy. I am not sure if that is somehow different than the procedure you're familiar with.
I'm not suggesting he's a bullshitter but people hear what they want to hear and the minute some Doc tells a patient their reversal rate is 98%, due diligence seems to come to an abrupt halt!
For instance what good is a "patent Vas" if NO SPERM are noted within IT?
Again that's why asking for a CONCEPTION rate at one, five and ten years is much more informative. And if this Urologist is "well respected" he should have this info ON HAND WP.

He probably does, I'll ask, thanks Doc!
Here's a recent summary, good luck.

Good to see they prefer the procedure that I am opting for.
I will be auctioning off my last viable load here on Meso, just as an FYI to everyone.
