Good morning,
I am a 32 year old female from South Africa. I was married before and had 2 children and still can have kids. Got divorced 2 years ago and got married in this year to my new husband of 38 years of age. I would love to have one more, but he was “fixed” about 8 years ago. Is there any options for us to try and conceive? Can he be reversed and what will it cost? His tubes was cut. Before we can think of IVF as our last option.
Please advise. would love to know if there is hope for us….
Thank you

I fell pregnant in 1997 for the first time after being married only 3 weeks (honeymoon baby) everything whent fine until i got to 28 weeks my daughter is 12 years at the moment but were born on 28 weeks with a emergency c-section. after her i had 3 miscarriges. then i re-married and got pregnant with twins but lost them on 14 weeks due to personal problems with my step daugter. in 2002 me and my husband felt pregnant with a little girl but again on 24 weeks due to personal problems again with my stepdaugter she were to premature and passed away 8 hours after birth.
i have never used any protection in my life and the same with my husband. we tried to fall pregnant after our daughter but with no luck we tried for 4 years and just gave up. in January 2011 i founded out i were finally pregnant 8 years after our daugter that was born with a emergency c-section.
my pregnancy went on with out any problems. at 24 weeks i were admitted to hospital and our son were born on 24 weeks on 1 May 2011, and were called a micro prem baby, after a full investigation were done on my plasenta and afterbith we founded out that the problem were not on my side but to a family member that visited us 2 weeks prior to this and her child had chiken pops i never had any child illnesses and got chikenpops that went back into my body and my feavers were extreamily high that were the cause of our son being born premature and died on the 4th May 2011.
we want to fall pregnant asap due to our ages i am 32 and my husband are turning 46 this year. in our case will you assist us with falling pregnant only if it is to inplant my husband semen into myself. please i need to know this my appointment with you are on thursday the 9th June 2011 at 11, and would rather have an answer to my question that to hear the dissapointment in your office after paying my consiltation fee.
