I had a vasectomy but my girlfriend says she is pregnant?

Question:  from a 52 yo male, good health. In the course of dating a 36 yo woman, a situation has arisen which I cannot find any clarification on beyond the normal conclusion.

In October 2020 the relationship had escalated to a sexual nature and in the same month, she contracted the COVID 19 Delta variant. About 1 month later she advised that she had 2 positive pregnancy tests conducted at home (with faint lines on each test). She went to her OB/GYN and they confirmed the formation of a gestational sac via ultrasound.

The problem is I had a vasectomy in 2011 and verified the procedure with 2 follow-up exams 60 and 90 days apart which concluded at that time that no sperm was present in the semen. I know there are cases where vasectomies have failed but my research indicated they are less than 1% as time progresses. Last week, February 10, 2021, I had another semen analysis conducted, under the guidance of a Urology office. The lab indicated that there was NO sperm present in the semen sample delivered that day.

So I am either being lied to when she vehemently denies having sex with someone else or is there a remote possibility that her ordeal with COVID 19(d) somehow messed with her body into thinking it was pregnant? She had other oddities with COVID, Thyroid problems which have now cleared up, Pneumonia which has cleared up, 2 DVTs that have gone away with the only lingering issue of permanent scarring on her lungs from the Pneumonia. I have read that the medical community still has some difficulty determining exactly what COVID can and can’t do to a body so is there any case where it can cause a woman’s body to think it’s pregnant and react accordingly when in fact it is not? Thank you.

Answer: Hello. Of course there is a remote chance that the vasectomy failed but – in my opinion – the chances are 1 in 100,000.

Condom broke, what are the chances that she is pregnant?

Hi, me and a girl I’ve know for some tine had sex 3 times from April 25th at about 11″45PM to 2:00AM on the 26th. I had previously ejaculated around 2PM on the 25th and before we had intercourse, I urinated 3 times and had 2 showers leading up to it because I read that semen can be found in preejaculate (precum) if the man has not urinated. The first time we had sex, I used a condom and never ejaculated but there was precum. The second time, a new condom and same thing. She climaxed a couple times but I did not. We went a third time, and the condom broke. It took me 7-10 seconds to notice and I pulled out immediately. I did not fully ejaculate but there was precum. I then put on a new condom and finished up. She said that her last period was April 2, and claims that she is on a 28 day menstruation cycle but I dont think she actually knows her days. She says her breasts were already feeling tender and that she should going on her period this week. What are the chances that she is pregnant based on the potential time of ovulation, urinating before sex, and switching the condom swiftly. Im really freaking out. Anything would help.

I am unsure what my cycle is like when I’m not on the pill, but I am on day 33 with no period?

Hi. I have recently stopped taking my birth control in hopes of trying to conceive. I had been on the pill for about 8.5 years. I stopped taking my pill at the end of my last packet which was one month ago.

I have yet to start my next period. I am unsure what my cycle is like when I’m not on the pill, but I am on day 33 with no period. However, another strange thing is that my last period (while on birth control) was very irregular. It was only two days instead of the usual 4-5 and it wasn’t even enough flow to fill a tampon. I would call it spotting more than anything. I thought that I might be pregnant, but I have taken multiple tests and they all have had a negative result.

Should I be concerned that I have not had my period yet and that my last one was so strange?

My husband and I are currently contemplating going through our second and IVF cycle

My husband and I are currently contemplating going through our second and (final, due to cost), IVF cycle. I just turned 36 last week and found out in November that I have diminished ovarian reserve after 2 miscarriages, (both trisomies, partial chromosome 9 and complete chromosome 22). The miscarriages came two years after the uncomplicated and natural conception/birth of our healthy 4 year old daughter when I was 31 years old. At 22 years old and in a previous relationship, I had back to back miscarriages, (8 weeks, then blighted ovum), but after the birth of my daughter assumed everything was fine, until the DOR death sentence I received a few months ago. I spent 3 months supplementing with DHEA and ubiquinol before our first IVF cycle in February. They only retrieved 4 eggs, 3 mature, 2 fertilized, both looked good, transfer on day 3, did not take. My doctor was very rushed in our follow-up consultation as we were his last appointment before leaving for Israel for Passover and won’t be back until next week. He advised us to do another round asap since the medication will still be in my system and we should capitalize on that. We went ahead and ordered the medicine and are supposed to start all-over again next Monday. However, I switched careers a few years back and after 2 rounds of grad school am finally working as a high school counselor and teaching 2 social studies classes, it’s my first year. And, if I were a CPA, THIS would be my tax season. A part of me feels as if I should wait until things are not so stressful, but my clinic doesn’t run another cycle until June, (although, I would then be on summer break). Which is more beneficial, taking advantage of the medicine still in my system or waiting until I have less stress in my life?

I inserted an implanon on 26 October 2017 and am still bleeding?

I inserted mine an implanon on 26 October 2017 and am still bleeding. There was a brief 2 week period in December when the bleeding stopped but it has been almost 5 months of continuous bleeding. I just read something that says you could be bleeding for the full time you have the implanon in. My doctor it will be 6 months at most. I could be bleeding for 3 full years? What causes the bleeding?

I have been trying to have a baby for 10 years, please advise?

I have been experiencing diarrhea on and off for a very long time. With an ongoing pain in my lower left stomach. Probably close to the descending colon, inguinal ligament or the rectus abdominis. Scans have not shown anything out of the ordinary and doctors usually just talk about a hernia.

I am 46, I have one child (18y boy with my ex), but I have been trying to have a baby for 10 years with my now wife. We have done all IVF methods, even with donor eggs. But, the embryo does never survive the 4th or 5th day after the embryo transfer.

I like suggestions on what diagnostics and tests I should do. Are there any specific blood test or others that I could order, to further analyze my situation?

I have a cyst on testicle, should I get it removed surgically?

Hi, Doctor,
I am 25 yrs. Old guy who was diagnosed with an epididymal cyst with size of 23*28 mm on the right testicle,
The doctor I visited told me I need to remove that cyst ASAP via surgery to avoid infection or anything that could make the problem worse.
I read that that kind of cysts doesn’t need surgery unless they become very painful.
I also read that the epididymis might get harmed during the surgery but my doctor said it won’t affect fertility.!
I’m so confused about what I should do & I rely on your advice.
Thank you so much.

We’re thinking of getting an ovulation testing device would this be an effective birth control method?

My husband and I are opposed to using the Pill or other contraceptives, but we don’t want any more kids. We’re thinking of getting an ovulation testing device (a really expensive one that tests saliva and vagina conditions and charts the results on the computer), and then ONLY have sex three days or more after ovulation occurs.

If we’re very careful about sticking to this plan, would this be an effective birth control method?
