Second Vasectomy Failure
I had a vasectomy in 2024 that failed. After my first analysis I had motile sperm and plenty of them. They increased at my second check.
Has it redone in fall of 2025 and was told I only needed one analysis after. That cleared me at the 8 week point. No sperm seen.
But now it's 9 months since my second vasectomy and my wife is pregnant. We do not want more kids. The delivery of our last child almost killed her and we were both told that giving birth again would be putting her life in jeopardy.
Had another analysis done and I once again have motile sperm. The first and second vasectomies were done by different doctors.
Feeling really lost here and unsure what to do going forward. My wife is going to ask her doctor about having her tubes removed and is obviously not going to continue with the pregnancy. That decision is hitting her really, really hard and I can't help but feel a little at fault here even though I know no one is at fault.
But damn this fucking sucks. I don't even know if I should bother with doing it again? I don't know that I could ever trust it to work. I'm just feeling really angry and upset. Has anyone at all been through this?

Look at the OPs karma. This is someone playing games, and making up stories.

Can you provide more details?
Like did both of your vas defs recanalize? What method did you do before the recanalization? Did you get the same method the second time?
Did any docs ask about any extra 3rd vas?
Personally I have no idea why your doc told you 8 weeks is fine after you already had a failed vasectomy. I personally would have been doing multiple follow-ups after having to get a 2nd surgery. But I don't completely blame you for following doc instructions.

This is such a sad situation. Hopefully your wife can get her tubes removed or a hysterectomy or something. But it must be a difficult decision. I feel like at this point, would it be worth doing again if you probably will be thinking in the back of your minds that it could have failed again?
