Can I get pregnant from a 73 year old man?
Sep 15th 2007adminGeneral questions
From Jennifer:-
This is most likely impossible. I would like to know the probability of becoming pregnant at age 46 from a man who is now 73 and had a vasectomy many, many years ago. I believe I am going through some form of perimenopause, as I have night sweats, occasional
missed periods. I have always through life had a menstrual at 28 days, like clock  work. I am having odd symptoms, missed period for an entire month, slight headaches, ( never get headaches) tight feeling in abdomen, very hungry. I had a child at age 20, and actually felt conception. Feeling very weird and would appreciate some feedback.
In general, a man can father a child throughout his lifetime independent of whether or not he has had a vasectomy. Sperm production is maintained in men well into their 70′s and 80′s and this is also the case for a man that has had a vasectomy. In contrast, a woman’s reproductive span is limited after she reaches menopause, which is highly variable in women. If a woman is still ovulating and has healthy eggs, then she can get pregnant. I would always recommend that women older than 40 be evaluated by their gynecologists with a Day 3 FSH level, hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and pelvic ultrasound prior to considering the possibility of getting pregnant. In this particular scenario with an advanced maternal age, I would recommend sperm retrieval with IVF/ICSI for any chance of success. Simply because the likelihood of needing to wait 6-9 months for return of sperm after a vasectomy reversal would only make the female that much older by the time the couple could conceive.

Well first of all, he is placing himself at risk on contracting a vernial disease. Moreover, if he is producing sperm, then he is capable of reproducing (making babies). As far as his life, depending on how responsible he is throughout his sex life, can have either a positive or negative or even both kind of effect on his life. Lastly the sperm, I don’t believe that his sperm will be effected by his sexual activity, however his diet can directly affect his sperm production.
