Hi
I read your message and felt I should reply, my partner had a vasectomy 13 years ago and had a reversal in January of this year. It was unsuccessful. We were both heartbroken. We are told it failed because of a blockage and the thorough job that was done on the origional op. We are unsure where to go from here - we are seeking ivf but also considering adoption. my partner is not considering a redo, He has decided this for a number of reasons, the blockage could be being caused by scare tissue and in our mind, more ops could result in more scar tissue, and also more ops - more risk of testicular cancer which is a real concern for my bloke. We have been told that there is a more sophisticated way of doing the reversal which might result in a better prognosis but we have decided to go for the ssr route.
It is really positive that you have good quality sperm as it means that maybe its just a matter of persevering with it -
I found a good message board where there is the chance to talk to a micro surgoen specialising in reversals - have a look on there it was really helpful for me. http://www.vasectomyreversal.net/
He is an american surgeon but really kind and helpful and answers you questions as fully as possible. there are loads of success stories too!
good luck x
