If you google, it appears that it can be reversed but is only successful in about 10% of cases.

In today's cash-strapped NHS, I would be very surprised if it can be done as a funded procedure, but I could be wrong.

A family lived opposite us at one time, where mum had two sons from her first marriage, then been sterilized. Then divorced, met new partner, had a reversal and had another baby boy. They lived opposite, the family with three little boys - so it worked for her.

cheers kassee, hopefully it'll work for us if they'll allow it to be done

ummmm

Very unlikely to let you have it on NHS. They're not even doing sterilizations now unless there is some sort of danger.

go and ask your doctor

http://www.nhs.uk/chq...117&SubCategoryID=116 the NHS suggest it MAY be available in some areas, but private reversal may cost £2500 + and be 50-60% sucessfull.

depends what method was used initially for the steri...the reversal success rates vary a lot... but realistically its not a lot to save up for the chance of a child... good luck
