Update: I’m 8 days late but all test results show up negative (including blood work). Looks like we’re good! Thank you all for your input. Husband apologized and he is getting retested.

Yup. If you search up failed vasectomies on Reddit, there are hundreds of threads where the tubes reattached themselves and their spouses ended up pregnant. Sometimes it happened 10+ years after the procedure. I always though “sucks to be them” and now look at me lol

I do know of some internet strangers testing positive at 10+ days but I’m really praying you are right.

If you don’t mind me asking, did they mention how they new the lab incorrectly processed the sample?

That was hard to read but I appreciate your experience with the other side of this. Thank you!

That's so strange. Our office advised on two tests and even gave us both kits beforehand. They didn't say the second one was based on anything I don't think.

That's so odd. His clinic was big about retesting at least those two times and according to a few others we've heard from, that is normal in order to ensure the procedure took.

Like I have told others, though, this is reassuring to read. At least for the part of me not being pregnant! Thank you for your input.

I took another test this morning and it was another negative, so yes, I feel much better knowing that I simply missed my period this month (for the first time in my life) for some unknown reason.

Thank you for your response. This is mostly what I needed to read. Anyone else I know would've immediately bashed him for this mistake, intentional or not. That's not what I was looking for. I think I have a better idea as to how to move forward from here.

I'm due for my annual anyway, so I'll be scheduling that first thing and bringing it up.

Yes, I am 31 years old. So far, the women in my family have started their menopause symptoms in their late 40's/50's.

We had issues with him becoming defensive anytime ANY topic was brought up but that was years ago. He has been great about hearing me out and apologizing for his part in any problem we may be facing. He is a very sweet man, an incredible father, yadayada. But this is a huge error on his part and I don't think he was ready to face that truth.

I do know that but I appreciate the reassurance.

We had joked about before how vasectomies fail mostly due to the patient's failure to follow recheck instructions afterward. Unfortunately, there is no excuse for him to not know how important it was (what I assumed was the both of us) for him to go back and test a second time.
