I had a vasectomy but have remarried, and we now want children together. Would you recommend vasectomy reversal or IVF using extracted sperm? Or is there another option that would increase our odds of getting pregnant?

This would depend on several factors. Typically if your partner’s age is over 37-40 we start to lean a bit more towards assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF. On the other hand, if your partner is under age 37 it is much more cost-effective to undergo a vasectomy reversal. Also if you're considering having multiple children it is often much more cost-effective to do the reversal. Some couples have very tight time schedule for pregnancy. In these cases assisted techniques (like IVF) are more predictable at achieving a pregnancy.
