Hello, I'm new here and thought I'd post in quiverfull because I'm very convicted by the school of thought. We currently have four children (3 bio/1 adopted), and I certainly would've liked to have had more, but my husband freaked out and had a vasectomy against my wishes after the birth of our fourth. It caused a ton of strain on our relationship and a lot of distress for me personally over the past nearly eight years since, but after finally really talking it through recently, he has decided to get a reversal. He never even researched what he was doing at all, but at that time we were not in a spirit-filled, Bible-believing church so my thinking now is what's done is done, as long as we can move forward. Anyway he is planning to go to a clinic that operates as a ministry with lowest overhead cost possible, but we still have to wait a few months until an expected small influx of money (we have debt and budget problems, which I also partly contribute to this particular bad choice that was made).
Wondering if anyone has been through this, and what your experiences were after? I have many concerns. At this point I'm so relieved he's going to get a reversal, I find myself really hoping for another pregnancy. But there are lots of issues: he is 7+ years post-vas. I already struggled with infertility before, and now I'm going to be 40. I've been told because of PCOS and endometriosis, and associated cysts and pain, I should consider a hysterectomy, but now instead I'm hoping for a pregnancy (although I really don't want a hysterctomy anyway, because I also have thyroid disease and remain unconvinced it would be beneficial). Has anyone achieved pregnancy after a reversal? If not, how did you move on anyway?
