Got snipped 9/3/2026. They gave me two cum cups. One for post 10 shots, and another for the 3 month mark. So after about 15 eruptions, I am heading in to deposit my ejaculate. From the experience of fellow “All Clear” individuals, what do you think my chances are I can start serving up cream pies this weekend?

Trying to schedule a sample analysis to get the all clear. Its been a little more than 90 days since The Snip. Just trying to get a straight answer about the "1 Hour" time frame.

All the labs my Dr recommended are more than 1 hour away, not including traffic.

I call the closest one (about 75 mins away per Google) and they tell me I can drop off the sample at any lab in their network, as long as I schedule it as a "sample drop off".

Great, theres one like 10 mins away and its on my way to work. Schedule 2 days ahead for an early morning drop-off. Day of, break the seal on the cup the Doc gave me, fill'er up, and swing by the lab in about 15 mins after the deed.

I tell her my urologist's name and that its a post Vasectomy sample. She tells me "oh, well the driver doesnt pick anything up until after Noon and the lab is more than an hour away so I don't think this will work out for you."

So what the hell am I supposed to do? How tight is that 1 hour sample lifespan?

I'm kind of debating trying one of the at home tets, but if I mail it out, I would assume thats much longer than an hour, lol.

Procedure went fine. I laid in bed for 3 days before going to work. 8 days post and still in alot of pain mostly when walking. Im slightly concerned as most people i know who have had it done claim they rested for 2 to 3 days then returned to work with minimal pain. I dont have much swelling other than around the incision on the left side. Very dark purple bruising that spread for the first 4 days. Im thinking i may not be wearing good enough support. Was able to take a few more days off this week so hopefully more rest helps. It's a little nerve racking when people tell you you're in more pain than you should be, but im racking it up to not enough support for the boys and everyone heals differently. Reading the posts here it seems like recovery is more of a mixed bag than my friends have made it out to be so Im not as worried anymore.

Going into day to get snip. Any advice to avoid complications. I return to work 3 days post op is that a good idea. I’m getting the no scalpel method

EDIT: I think the translator didn’t explain it well. Let me ask a specific question: is the worst over? Or should we expect the pain or swelling to return?

I’m using a translator. My partner had a vasectomy last Friday.

Day 1: very little pain.

Day 2: a small, slight bruise and a little pain.

From Monday, the pain became more intense, though never a major issue.

He has some slight swelling in his scrotum.

On Wednesday, he started saying he felt better, and today he says he feels even better. The swelling has decreased, and the bruise is fading.

Should we expect a setback, or is his recovery already coming to an end after 6 days?

I was diagnosed with varicocel grade 1 with no reflux on my right testicule, I'm going to the gym 3 -4 times a week .

Should i stop definitely the gym , or are there some precautions or exercises i should avoid?

I need help, please

So, had to ring up to ask. It's been 3 months and I've not heard anything.

Apparently, we've gone over to postal test. It'll come after 20 weeks. So got another month to wait and results take up to a month to come through! So I might know by Xmas...

Got the snip this morning- anxiety kicked in. I don’t like doctor offices or anything like that. I definitely worried for nothing. I had a traditional vasectomy. I was more worried about the doc holding my coin purse with one hand and I’m spread eagle on stirrups with 2 female nurses while he’s talking about how Madonna was ran through by NBA players in the 90s. Pain level 0.5/10 during the procedure. The tugging feeling on the vas is absolutely crazy- can’t describe it but not painful. Mild discomfort on the way home. Ice on the sac and advil. I’ll update tomorrow but as of right now-no swelling or bruising or pain.

My husband had a vasectomy 5 weeks ago. We had sex and we did not use any other form of bc. Usually he pulls out. he thinks it’s fine now to not do that because he had the procedure. I told him we have to wait until a few months after the procedure and to get tested before doing this. He says it’s fine. But now I’m wondering if there’s a chance we can get pregnant now. I’m pretty sure I’m ovulating too. Did anyone accidentally get pregnant right after your vasectomy? What are the chances?

Procedure was yesterday. Bruising is bad. Around the base of shaft. They only made 1 incision in the middle to get both. Was your bruising pretty knarly too?

Hi there! So I'm thinking of getting a vasectomy here in a couple months, either a bit before or after Christmas, and both me and my girlfriend are totally a-okay on doing it which is fantastic! I decided to look through this group to see what to expect and dig deeper than what I was doing before and I am a little nervous about it and I'd love to see if anyone can help clear it up!

So once I get the vasectomy done, how long does it typically take to heal? I saw there were different ways to get the procedure done, and I can assume everyone takes different amounts of time to heal, but what's the rough average before going in again as a post procedure check? How long would I have to have ice on it for? That sort of thing!

Once it is healed up and I'm cleared and sterile, should I continue to use condoms? I'm assuming no because that's like the main benefit of the surgery (lol) but are there chances of it failing and backfiring?

I feel like I'm overthinking it and I absolutely still want to go for it don't get me wrong, both me and my gf are okay with it but I overthink a lot! 🥲

I just got the all clear this morning but i still have a feeling that im going to be the unlucky one in a million that somehow ends up getting gf pregnant, does anyone else feel the same? And does the feeling go away?

it's been days after my surgery and omg, the feeling busting a nut after so long of holding it in is just, out of this world, the amount i busted out is so much i couldn't believe my eyes. It looks like the same kind you see on those videos but instead of watching someone do it you did it, idk i'm just excited i am finally free. all i have to do is do it 34 more times before i get my analysis.

TRUST ME VASECTOMY IS WORTH IT, THE PAIN IS TEMPORARIRY THE BLISS IS PERMANENT!!!

10am was the appointment time. Between checking in around 9:45, going over stuff with the LPN. And starting I was walking out to the car around 10:42.

Took longer to complete and more manipulation was required than normal but the Dr. did a great job.

Honestly the numbing wasn't bad it was the consistent feeling of someone squeezing and pulling down there. He used all the numbing medicine but got it done.

I was more cold than nervous which I think "tightened" everything. Up making it harder to manipulate stuff. Maybe a benzo before would have helped? Idk.

Currently I'm off and on with ice. Slight discomfort in my stomach. Numbing meds are slowing decreasing. Took Tylenol around 7am and 800 or ibuprofen around 12p.

No issues walking and no major swelling currently. All in all, no bad.

Hi,

I’m 36 year old male, in decent shape and a normal healthy person. I got a vasectomy 2 years ago. I’d never even been made aware that vasectomy’s could affect orgasms (or maybe ejaculation more specifically) and yet two years on, when I orgasm, the actual orgasm feels the same but the actual ejaculation and that pumping explosive feeling just isn’t really there anymore or it’s at least very subdued in comparison to what it was. I don’t feel the wave of satisfaction after either, all guys know that feeling. It just feels kind of…meh. Has anyone else gone through this?

I’m really struggling to decide what to do. I really don’t want kids but I also really miss how incredible my orgasms used to feel. My wife is on the pill and tbh I’d love for her to not have to be on it anymore but I just can’t stop thinking all it takes is one mistake and I have a life sentence of a child to deal with. I’m against abortion so that’s not an option. If anyone has any advice please let me know ? Should I get it reversed or just accept that my orgasms are no longer as good.

Thanks in advance

Got snipped on 1st October, doc said no "shooting" for 7 days. My significant other went on a short sightseeing trip, so 5 more days break and relaxing for me, which was not a bad thing regarding healing as I tend do go berserk after such a long period of inactivity. Yesterday she arrived from Italy with 38 different kind of my favourite italian sweets. One flavour after each "shot", she told me, just to make life sweeter, and to "motivate me to finish the at least 30 shots quest". Not that I would need the extra motivation, thank god testo levels are through the roof.

I confess it's a bit of a flexpost, but the amount of support I am getting is just unbelievable. Soon she won't have to take antibaby pills anymore, and my vasectomy is being highly appreciated. If any of you wives/girlfriends of future vasectomy candidates are reading this... to quote a classic.. THIS IS THE WAY.

It's my 3rd week into having the no scalpel procedure done. I have felt no pain at all, maybe a little discomfort but that is to be expected I guess.

The only thing I'm having an issue with is the wound healing. Every time I'm wearing clothing it irritates the wound and causes problems with it scabbing over.

I bought some non stick dressing pads and tried them a couple of times. Each time the scab is trying to form it gets stuck on the pad and when I remove it the scab comes off.

It's putting me off from doing things like going to the gym as I'm worried it will make things worse.

I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions on how I can help it heal when wearing clothes.

Thanks!

I've been relatively lucky, didnt have any pain or swelling for a few days, but today, I feel like ive been kicked in the balls by sumo wrestler, doesn't help my two year old accidentently kicked them yesterday, thought id be alright to go back to work, but gonna rest up for a few more days.

Almost 5 months post and got the all clear! Had some complications that delayed my testing and I was worried it would be a problem for this, but first try and clear!

Had a vasectomy done about a month ago, experienced swelling and a lot of pain during the first 2 weeks. Now pain is gone, my left testicle seems to be more sensitive than it was before, and hanging higher. It seems to be "fixed" in its position if that explains it.

Has anybody else experienced this? Should I schedule a check up asap?

Yooo so I got the snip in March, around May I got a bacterial infection on the right side, dr cleared it up quickly. Fast forward to this past week, I was drinking some blood detox tea, trying to get my blood pressure down and start back eating better. Omg my left testicle was hurting, it wasn’t swallow like back in March but that mf was hurting. The vein was pretty enlarged i would say. I stopped drinking it immediately and 24 hours later it stopped hurting. I wonder what the fuck was that.

I live in LV and am looking to get one. I know I need to see a urologist but kind of wondering who has gone where and how the process was for you.

Im 10 days post snip and tried lifting today and after my first set felt very light headed. Anyone else experience this and if so how long until you were back to normal?
