snip and getting pregnant?

[scaredmum2be]

has anyones OH's had the snip an few months later got pregnant im just wondering as im not on the injection or anything and hubby had the snip in august i think it was so was just wondering if women still got pregnant not long after hubby aving the snip as it takes a few months before the actual snip to actually work he said x

we didnt do it for 2 weeks hun although he wanted to i didnt want to lol. its been 2 months now an he shud go back for test taking in december but he doesnt see the point in going so i wondered if women cud still get pregnant before the actual snip works. bet people are thinking wtf am i on about lolx

It the snip hasn't started working, then yes i would have thought it would still be possible to get pregnant until it does.

I didn't know there was a period that it wasn't working though, i always assumed it was instant

I'd definately be cautious though if i was you and insist he had the test in December.

Hi hon! Here's a bit of info I pulled from a FAQ site on vasectomies:

No, any vasectomy does not make you sterile right away, and you'll want to continue using some other means to guard against pregnancy until your doctor tells you otherwise. Immediately after a vasectomy, active sperm remain in the semen for a period of time. It may take 15 to 20 ejaculations and several weeks before your semen is free of sperm. Your doctor will test the semen, perhaps several times over several weeks, and let you know when you can safely consider the vasectomy to be complete. This may be as long as two months.

Hth!

Aswell as what Helen said, Not all vasectomys work anyway, the body heals in such a way that its still possible for sperm to be in the ejaculate, it depends on the method of the surgeon he went to, as there are a couple different ways.

My OH had a snip, a year later he got two women pregnant But we knew it hadnt worked, You can kinda tell by the consistency of the ejaculate.
