This is the question that many couples are beginning to ask themselves these days. After all, you went thru the trouble and discomfort to get a vasectomy in the first place, and now youre thinking about undoing it? Are you sure? Here are some things to help you decide if a vasectomy reversal is right for you:

How has your situation changed since your vasectomy? There was a definite reason behind getting a vasectomy however many years ago. Has that changed?

Were you persuaded to get a vasectomy? Do you feel you were emotionally forced to get one against your better judgment and will? If you are now single, you may be rethinking that decision. Having a family could be a high priority in your life.

Were you young? Some men get their vasectomies in the 20s and 30s. Thats quite young to make a life-altering decision. Many times these men regret the decision later on down the road. Do you really know what you want now?

Do you have children? Another mistake men make is having a vasectomy before ever having a child of their own. Even if they have stepchildren, some men begin to yearn for their own. You may now know in your heart that you want your own birth child(ren).

Are you remarried? Often times men have children with their former wife and believe thats all theyll ever want. Other times, they decide not to have any children at all. Then they get divorced, remarried and they are in a situation where he and his new wife want children of their own. Is that you?

Have you and your partner changed your minds? Hey, its your prerogative. Its perfectly okay to change your mind. Its your life! Maybe your relationship is stronger now and you feel more secure in bringing a child into the mix.

There may be other reasons behind wanting a vasectomy reversal. Just be sure to take inventory of your life in the present day. As you know, having children is (at least) an 18 year commitment. Wanting a family, or an addition to an existing family, can be very emotional for you and your partner. Discuss it with each other so you can come up with the best resolution.

A vasectomy reversal can make your dreams a reality. The permanent can be undone. And really, its all worth it in the end.
