Today, I'm so confused. My husband had a vasectomy years ago, yet a bunch of symptoms and five pregnancy tests all say I’m pregnant. I’ve never cheated on him, but if a baby suddenly appears, there’s no way he won’t think I’m a cheater. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband had a vasectomy this past summer after our son was born and only took one of the two tests. I haven't cheated. He refuses to believe me or get his spunk checked again. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband had a vasectomy several years ago. I've been faithful the whole time, but he wouldn't believe me, even after I showed him that vasectomies can reverse themselves. FML
Today, I found out that the reason I hadn't gotten pregnant yet was because my husband had a vasectomy after the birth of his son. He even had the nerve to continously tell me, "it'll happen soon, baby" and let me believe we were trying. FML

Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, after trying for five years to get pregnant, I just found out that my husband had a vasectomy and he didn't tell me. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. The problem is she convinced me to get a vasectomy two years ago. FML
Today, my husband is trying to divorce me because I’m pregnant, even though I’ve been told all my adult life that I’m infertile. I’ve never even had a period. He’s blaming me for lying to him because he never wanted kids. He even tried to claim it must be another guy's baby. He’s an idiot. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to tell me that he was worried our child might not be mine because he was cheating on me when I got pregnant. FML
Today, my period was a few days late, so my anxiety kicked in and I told my husband I was worried about being pregnant. He pointedly said that pregnancy requires sex, and I suddenly remembered we haven't had sex in months. I haven't cheated, but good luck convincing his suspicious ass of that. FML

It’s called “Recanalization” and it may happen when the vas deferens, usually severed during a vasextomy, grows back to create a new connection, reversing the vasectomy. Tell him that you believe this is what happened, ask him to get a sperm count done, and offer to take a paternity test outright. Wishing you the absolute best of luck.

I just saw a video from Mama Doctor Jones about this. the other commenters are correct. Have him get a sperm test done to see if his vasectomy is still working.

vasectomies don't always work 100%.

Either the vasectomy didn’t take or your kid is going to start a new global religion.

A DNA test will certainly determine the child's parentage. You have nothing to worry about unless your husband has an identical twin brother.

I had a child after having a vasectomy years prior. Vasectomies are not 100% effective. Yes I love my child, and even had another afterwords

You can have a DNA test done before the baby is born. I don't know all the details, but I believe it can be done relatively early in the pregnancy. If you want to head off any fights/arguments/suspicions at the pass, when you tell him about the pregnancy, you might also tell him that given his vasectomy, it would be natural for him to have at least some small suspicion about paternity, and you would feel fine having a DNA Paternity test done, and wouldn't feel as if it was some awful sign that he doesn't trust you.

Doing the DNA test pre-birth increases the chances of miscarriage.
Anderling 33
Not always. It depends on the test. If you’re testing for paternity based on amniotic fluid then it may increase chances of a miscarriage, but there’s also a way of testing by taking the mother’s blood (called non-invasive dna test in Dutch), which has zero risk of miscarriage.

This is why they tell you to get a check every once in a while. The snip can fail, if it was ever successful in the first place. However, it's also very concerning and you should see the doctor ASAP because certain types of ovarian masses and cancers can cause pregnancy tests to show positive. This is because the conditions generate the same hormones used for testing. No way would I have bought 5 home tests if this happened to me after several years of successful results including confirmation counts.

That's why men are supposed to get that checked every so often. one of my biggest fears is my husband's vasectomy will reverse itself and I'll get pregnant.

The procedure can reverse itself over time, there’s plenty of info on it, agree to a dna test with no argument and have him go get clipped again, there’s also tests he can go through to see before baby is born…if you cannot handle the child consider adoption or abortion,
