Post-vasectomy question?

Question:

I had a vasectomy about 4 years ago. I did my initial two checks which were negative and I also take in yearly sperm samples just to make sure it stays successful I would think that it would be physiologically impossible for sperm to show up, get someone pregnant and then get a negative sperm count reading after the fact, right? I haven't had any problems, but always wondered about this. If sperm showed up then it would mean that the vas deferens rejoined or is severed and somehow a minute amount of sperm is entering the canal via the blood. If that was the case then there would from that point on be a positive sperm count correct? Keep in mind I had this done 4 years ago, so there should be no residual sperm left in the vas that could be loosened and put to work. What do you all think? Did I answer my own question?

Answers:
if you did the checks and they were neg
then it was a success so its all good
don't worry

You are good to go. I'm 18 months in and have been running totally unprotected with my wife for at least 12. I promise you, if this were the case, we'd have 4 kids now!

My wife actually got to watch mine done. She said "no way in he** is that growing back!". I got cut, tied, burned, clipped, etc.

Vasectomies rarely fail.

The only reason, for a failure, is sloppy work on the part of the surgeon.

Sperm will never travel thought the blood. In fact they should never enter the blood stream for any reason. If they do, they can cause an autoimmune response. This can happen sometimes if the surgeon does a lousy job.

I got my vasectomy when I was 21. That was 20 years ago. Don’t think that just because you had one that you don’t use condoms any longer. I still use them. You should do the same.
