The options to expand one's family after a vasectomy are somewhat limited and somewhat expensive.


The options are:

  • IVF

  • Vasectomy Reversal

  • Adoption

  • Sperm Donors

Why Choose Vasectomy Reversal Over IVF

Vasectomy reversal tends to be far more effective and far more affordable than IVF. In the 90's, things were a little different. Vasectomy reversal surgery was universally performed in a hospital setting. Hospitals added around 40K to the cost of the surgery. IVF was a little less expensive and so was a little more popular.



Why Choose a Dedicated Vasectomy Reversal Center

Once vasectomy reversal surgery was proved to be safe and effective outside the hospital, that all changed. Dr. Daniel was one of the first to move his surgery out of the hospital but now it is a common practice. Unfortunately, no one goes to a university any more to have vasectomy reversal performed, so new doctors receive very little if any exposure or training in this procedure. You will find many places offering treatment for many different conditions. It is impossible to be a specialist and work like a general surgeon.


Adoption

Adoption today is not what is once was. Today, it seems to be a money proposition rather than a noble offering. It is hard to do and can be very expensive.


Sperm Donors

Sperm donation is an option for some. This means however that you will not have your mate as the biological father and you will need to go through the insemination process. This can be expensive and can prove to inject other issues as well.
