After vasectomy, wife takes fertility drugs to get pregnant

Dr. Reed,

Will my vasectomy remain as effective if my wife is taking fertility enhancing meds?    She does not know about my procedure. And I DO NOT want her to get pregnant.

Hi Chason,

This question is a little sad because it suggests there may be some marital discord at least along these lines, and deception is anti-love in my opinion.

If you have a vasectomy, and most modern day urologists would ask for your wife’s consent for medical legal reasons, and your semen is checked at intervals, and contains no sperm, the progeny won’t be yours.

Yes, that has come up.

Sincerely,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
