Anyone get pg after vasectomy?

Because of some bizarre periods a couple of years ago I had my DH get his sperm tested because I just never knew if I was pregnant, or late of whatever (he had a vasectomy about 7 years ago). So his test showed no sperm. But here I am. Like a fool I don't know what day I started...I know that I was on my period over the 4th of July at least by the 3rd. I typically have a 28-29 day cycle. So shortly before ovulation (which I have gotten pretty good at gauging) I noticed a crazy peak in my sex drive. I was a crazy woman. Then shortly there after as it always does...I start to get my period symptoms, but I am moody, borderline psycho. I even noticed it and so did my DH. Then I think like nearly 8 days ago I was getting that little cramp you get before you start and I even stoped our conversation with my DH to say "I just started" and nothing. We were preparing for a very large party at our house and we were carving up some roast. I nearly vomited cleaning up the drippings. I have had headaches near the time I need to eat. But I don't seem totally hungry. When I eat I nearly get sick, and it isn't taking me much to get full. I am having a hard time thinking about it right now with out getting sick. My BB's are still sore and it feels like my insides are getting pushed up into my rib cage. I feel so BIG...yuck.

I tested 2 times. Once on the 31st. and once on the 2nd but neg.

Could this be pregnancy (which would seem to be a miracle) or could this be something from an ovarian cyst? I had one about 2 years ago.

I feel like a fool wondering since I think it is nearly impossible, but I feel like my body is doing things that aren't normal. My sense of smell is killing me. Everything smells gross! My hair is crazy oily, and I am going nuts! Am I crazy?

Hi dragonfly gal, it is possible to become pregnant after your partner has had a vasectomy, and it has happened! It sounds like pg symptoms, but our bodies are very tricky because PMS symptoms can and do mimick pg symptoms.

I was wondering if you were late with your period and have you thought about taking a hpt test?

I recomend that your visit the vasectomy reversal board to get some more advice. Even though it is a vasectomy reversal board, those ladies are very knowlegable in the vasectomy department.

Just a reminder, no birth control even a tubal ligation or vasectomy is 100%. Hope all goes well for you.

Here is the link to the vasectomy reversal board, go by and visit and post what you posted here and I know for a fact you will get more answers, because I know some of those ladies on the board (even though I have had a tubal ligation reversal myself)

Hope this was a help

Thanks, I will.

You know even with my ovarian cyst I was slightly late but I had pain on the ovary...like my apendix was going to burst. This is just so different.

Could it be me getting older? I am going to be 28 next month...I guess you body can change your AF symptoms.

Who knows. But my appetite, my emotional breakdowns and moodiness and nausea is a little more unusualy than what I am used to. If anything I get bitchy about a week to 10 days prior...not this late in the game.

The same thing is happening to me right now. All the symtoms of pregnancy but my dh, and only parnter, had a vasectomy 3 years ago. Did you find any answers? I am not sure what to do myself. I feel stupid asking a doctor about this but may have to soon.
