My Boyfriend had a vasectomy. He never went back to check and make sure it worked. What is the chance he could still get me pregnant?
Answer:
Not a good plan. I suggest you tell him no sex until he gets the sample checked. - No exceptions!
I had my vasectomy done 20 years ago. I get it checked every five years.
Answer:
Vasectomies are more than 99% effective. The chances are very low.. but not 0%.
Vasectomy is a very effective (99.85%) birth control method. Only 1 to 2 women out of 1,000 will have an unplanned pregnancy in the first year after their partners have had a vasectomy.3
Risk of failure
Pregnancy may occur after vasectomy because of:
* Failure to use another birth control method until the sperm count is confirmed to be zero. It usually takes 10 to 20 ejaculations to completely clear sperm from the semen.
* Spontaneous reconnection of a vas deferens or an opening in one end that allows sperm to mix with the semen again. This is very rare.
Answer:
Not very likely.
