Urologists report increase in American men who opt to restore their fertility.
Some 20 years after welcoming two daughters into the world — and 17 years after his vasectomy — Rick Perk found a second shot at love and yearned for a second chance at children.
So, then pushing age 50, Perk got unsnipped in 2010. But he didn’t know if the delicate operation worked until his current wife, Erin, 31, phoned while Perk was chauffeuring one of his girls home from a college visit.
“It was St. Patrick’s Day last year and Erin is Irish so her friends had wanted her to go out. She’d said no, that something was feeling different. She picked up a pregnancy test then called and broke the news,” Perk recalled. “I almost drove off the road, I was so excited.”
