In a previous post, I mentioned that I would provide some summary information on the Pregnant Women Support Act. I finally had time to wade through the bill (HR6145), so here are some details.

Complications- Though rare, there may arise some difficulties following vasectomy reversal. These include the oozing of blood from the corners of the scrotal incision, which usually stops within 12 hours following the procedure. Some patients may incur a large bruise that settles with time and rest. Also, there are chances of an infection that is quite painful, accompanied by the scrotum acquiring a red colour. Immediately contact your vasectomy reversal doctor in case of any of the above complications!
Reports of pregnancies after tubal reversal procedures are received daily from Dr. Berger’s tubal reversal patients via the Pregnancy Report Form. The reports and comments here provide supplemental information to the summaries shown in the Weekly TR Pregnancy Report Forum of the Tubal Reversal Message Board.
Recovery from a vasectomy reversal should be relatively swift and fairly comfortable. Any pain that might be experienced after surgery can be controlled with oral medications. About 50 percent of men experience discomfort that is similar to the level they had after the original vasectomy. Another quarter report less pain than accompanied the vasectomy. A final 25 percent say the pain is somewhat greater than after the vasectormy. The reassuring news is that any pain severe enough to require medication rarely lasts longer than a few days to a week.
Although the DNA in sperm determines sex, it seems that in the never ending battle of the sexes mothers can favour the development of one sex of infant rather than another, a faculty that nature uses to fine tune the sex ratio in Stone Age days to suit times of feast and famine, says the team from the Universities of Exeter and Oxford.
