Pregnancy Risk

[ukanonymous]

If a man has a vasectomy does this mean that his semen can not make a woman pregnant 100% or is there a slight risk with this? I have entered into a relationship with an older gent and he has had this done. But is his semen completely risk free from impregnating?

[kvalidir]

Nicely worded. That would depend on how long ago his vasectomy was. He would have been asked to give samples to analyse to detect sperm in his semen once these come back clear, there is no risk.

[ummmm]

How long ago did he get it done?

[woofgang]

Don't foget that just because he can't make you pregnant doesn't mean he can't give you other gifts like STD's!

4 years ago aparently.

[kvalidir]

Firstly before I slept with someone I would want to satisfy myself that they had actually had a vasectomy and as Woof says be careful about their general sexual health until you have been in a relationship long enough to trust the person and both have a screening before becoming a one to one item- only then would I consider sex without a condom. Condoms are your friends:)

is this older gent under 20?

All the above are very sensible answers- nothing can be said to be 100%, take care of your own health, don't leave it to someone else.

If in doubt.. don't ! It's like marriage or overtaking.. if in doubt, DON'T!!

[Mamyalynne]

Ael,is that relevant in a Health Topic question?

it is not unknown for the tubes to re-connect. The only 100% form of contraception is not doing it!!! You are the only one that you can rely on..

[anneasquith]

that's nicer ED, I have been told recently that couples who have had several sexual partners and beginning a new relationship actually attend GUM clinics for testing for STD's.

[ukanonymous]

Ah maybe that does sound better. Again with the GUM clinic he has told me he went last year and hasnt slept with anyone else since. I have never been to one actually but I dont sleep around to warrent it to be honest

[bednobs]

very odd, but when this post is in the topic list, you see spunk, but when you open it it says semen

[aelmpvw]

i think it has been edited bednobs

[bednobs]
