You are likely having a false pregnancy.

He can get checked again. I get mine checked every five years.

The likelihood that the vasectomy failed is pretty slim. It largely depends on the surgery type, and the short cuts taken by the surgeon. If he had a "traditional vasectomy" then the chances of it failing are less than .5%. If he had one of the newer types then the chances are about 5% or so.

    Unlikely, but can definately happen. A week late can also signify stress, or any number of natural occurences. I think at week two, I would take a test. Blessings...

    Although we would like to think that a vasectomy is a 100% safe thing, its really not....I have heard of many woman gettin pregnant by their husbands whom have had vasectomies, its not entirely uncommon!!
