Vasectomy Reversal. Everything I found was gloomy and very expensive--almost as expensive as adoption and more so minus the tax credits! I was defeated yet determined. Finally, I felt prepared to bring it up to my husband. I had to gear myself up for this, his words following the vasectomy once he was home echoed in my mind: I will not be undoing this or having my balls cut open ever again!
Soooo, you could say he felt very strongly about what he had just went through. I took a chance that those words were result of pain, embarrassment and knowing that I had bawled my eyes out that day while he was at the appointment because I was second guessing our decision. He doesn't know that I actually attempted to call the clinic and stop the procedure, but I got no answer. The baby woke and started screaming to be fed. By the time I was able to oblige the hungry little fellow, I realized it was too late to call and that the procedure would have already begun. It was over and I cried like baby. Anyway, maybe he had had enough time to get over it all.
I was scared to bring up the idea of a reversal, so I started with adoption...AGAIN! He was clearly exasperated with me and simply said no, he could never want to adopt. So I nonchalantly asked him if he had ever heard of a vasectomy being reversed. He was already annoyed about the adoption stuff and said yes he knew they could be reversed, but that it was rarely successful. He went on to tell me that the vasectomy doctor told him about it. He was very irritated so I thought it best to just shut up and least my interest as curiosity and nothing more. Though he had to have known I was thinking about it.
I periodically kept searching about vasectomy reversals and never found anything promising. This was 2009 and early 2010. I had all but gave up on the idea by about May of 2010 when my mom gave me new hope with one simple little story...
