VASECTOMY REVERSAL
I am the proud mama of three little girls: Paige (15), Linley (10), and Blaire (21 months). My husband, William, and I have a unique story. Shortly after my second daughter was born, I talked my husband into having a vasectomy because my pregnancy had been so hard. I had not come from a background that thought birth control was wrong, so I had been on and off the pill for years. I was tired of taking it so I asked him to take care of the birth control in our marriage.I still remember sitting in that waiting room with him and feeling like maybe something wasn’t right with what we were doing but I was immature in my faith in the Lord at that time and I didn’t listen to the Holy Spirit’s prompting.
About seven years later I began to have such an intense desire for another child. It was so strong. I felt so awful that my husband and I had ruined our opportunity for the Lord to bless us with more children.
However, through a series of events a friend told me about a doctor that performed vasectomy reversals in St Louis. He had performed one on her husband and they went on to conceive two more children—they now have six!
So, we bit the bullet! In July 2019 we saw Dr Sommers, a wonderful doctor who also had a vasectomy and who went on to devote his entire career to providing low-cost reversals to couples desperate to undo their own poor decisions.
We conceived our third baby three months later! It was a miracle as I was 39 and my husband was 41 at the time and he had had his vasectomy for six years!
We are now waiting on God’s timing to see if he will bless us with another baby. We are so thankful that He is a God of mercy and that He chose to bless us again! God has been so kind to us.
