There are instances that men would feel, even once in their life the longing of having a child. Several reasons may affect your decision for having a child such as a new partner, recent divorce, loss of someone dear, or plainly experiencing an intense longing to have a child again. Although vasectomy is a permanent contraception, a reversal process could help you restore your fertility again.
Reversal vasectomy has an impressive success rate but there were about 40% of couples who failed in their vasoepididymostomy procedure and about 14% failed in their vasovasostomy procedure. This would mean that taking the reversal vasectomy process is never a guarantee to achieve your desire to have a child but you have a higher probability using this procedure than other fertility options to meet your goals for natural conception. The statistics could be discouraging but at least you have other fertility options to consider before submitting to the reversal vasectomy procedure.
Below are some fertility options that you can carefully consider before submitting to the vasectomy reversal procedure:
Sperm Banking
Sperm banking is the easiest way to conceive a child in the future. You can look for this kind of service and inquire about their fees. You can store your sperm and then use it later when you decide to have a child with your partner. This service involves payment of annual fees, which is approximately $250. However, there is an additional fee of about $500 only in the first year. You can retrieve your sperm for the In Vitro Fertilization later when no fertilization procedures work for you.
In Vitro Fertilization
This is the most common alternative over the reversal vasectomy. The most common name for this procedure is the IVF. Most doctors call this as the microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration. This procedure is affordable when completed by stages over the vasectomy reversal procedure. However, the success rate for this procedure is rather low and lies only as second best to the reversal of vasectomy option. This procedure is conducted in a series of steps known as the IVF stages. You will undergo normal ultra sound tests, laparoscope, and injections in this IVF process. You still need to undergo one cycle of the procedure after the test. The estimated cost would be about $8,000 for this one cycle procedure.
This procedure is quite painful and intrusive. Failure in any of the stages would mean that you couldn't proceed to the next step following the failed stage. If you were fortunate enough to conceive on the first stage, you would be able to spend only about $10,000. However, the clinic would not give any guarantee for conception. This means that if you were unfortunate enough to have a miscarriage, you need to pay again for the whole procedure. This means starting again from step 1 and paying separately for the whole process.
Therapeutic Donor Insemination
The sperm of the donor will fertilize the egg of your partner. Obviously, you will not be the child's biological father. Artificial insemination will be performed at the uterus during your partner's ovulation period. The success rate for the therapeutic donor insemination is as low as 25%.
Intracytomplasmic Sperm Injection
This is called as the ICSI fertility method. This advanced IVF method will fertilize the embryo first before placing into the uterus. This means that the sperm will be injected into your partner's egg for fertilization first before the actual embryo implantation.
