Question 1

what are the chances of pregnancy after successful vasectomy and while on birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Near zero: If the vasectomy has been confirmed to be successful by follow up testing then pregnancy is highly unlikely. Birth control pills are very effective when taken correctly.

Question 2

what are the chances of pregnancy occurring after successful vasectomy and while on birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Very low: It is very low if both of these measures have been used but, of course, there's no absolute. If you are both monogamous and don't want kids, just monitor for the low chance of pregnancy.

Question 3

what are the chances of my birth control pills and my partner's vasectomy failing at the same time to result in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

About 0: The chances of two excellent contraceptive methods failing at the same time are about zero, mathematically rounded off, of course. No worries. It is very, very rare for a guy with a successful vasectomy (got his semen checked some weeks after the surgery) to be able to start a pregnancy.

Question 4

partner had successful vasectomy. sperm count at zero. i'm on birth control. we use condoms and withdrawal method. chances of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No sperm: No sperm, no pregnancy possible.  The main reason to continue using condoms is to protect against STDs. Birth control pills are 99% protective against pregnancy. Withdrawal method unnecessary given partner has had a vasectomy, you are on birth control pills and you are using condoms.

Question 5

is birth control pills, condoms, and a vasectomy a good combo of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Contraception : Yes.  All 3 of those together are very protective against pregnancy.  Generally speaking, pregnancy would not be an issue after a male partner has obtained a vasectomy.  This procedure would need reversal in order for pregnancy to occur.  When used correctly birth control alone is 99.9% effective.  Condoms are about 98% effective when used correctly.

Question 6

is the vasectomy effective birth control right away?

Accepted Answer

No: There is a delay until vasectomy can be relied upon.  Your partner will need to have a follow up semen analysis to confirm the absence of sperm.

Question 7

does a vasectomy solve any other issues other than birth control alone?

Accepted Answer

Other than future : Financial costs of raising a child and the stress that can entail, i don't think it solves any other problems.

Question 8

where do i go /who do i go to for birth control ie vasectomy or similar procedure? what are the pros and cons?

Start with your doc: Your local physician would have knowledge of &amp; the ability to refer you to who or where such services are provided. The basic pro is you stop worrying about conception. The basic con is it is PERMANENT &amp; the discomfort of the procedure &amp; recovery. If you have an insurer or healthcare program you can consult their information or website for on line assistance.

Question 9

what should i expect after a vasectomy? for example change in sensation, and how effective is it for birth control?

Accepted Answer

Effective : If successful, a vasectomy will prevent delivery of sperm through the ejaculate so that ability to inseminate an egg is very unlikely. This procedure is 99.9 % effective. You should have no noticeable changes in sensation or ejaculation.
