Doubt abt vasectomy

[gab000183]

Yesterday i was 3 months and 10 days since i had my vasectomy. i did all the protocols and in this case I had more than 35 ejaculations throughout the process in these 3 months. The fact is that i was a little neglected since in this period of 10 days i have not been able to do the sperm count. Yesterday my gf and i had sex without any type of protection, even for safety i came outside just for precaution. is there any possibility that my gf will get pregnant? Thanks!

You have had a vasectomy at 18?

Have you had a sperm count done?

Nope

It might be sensible to know this.

Yep! Probably next week I’ll go to make a sperm count and see if is negative or not

You must get a sperm count. I am surprised the hospital/clinic didn't already book you in for one.

If your vasectomy was successful then your ejaculations wil have cleared out any sperm.Can I ask (and please, you don't need to answer this) why you've opted for a vasectomy so young?

Thank you very much! Answering to your question, i decided to do the vasectomy, since i have never liked the idea of having children, of course, i respect and admire people who have children. In my case, my decision was to live a life with myself, travel, meet new people, have a safe sexual experience with whoever my partner is, work for my family, study and be what i would like to be. Even if this depends on the prospects, i personally think that a child is a lot of responsibility , and i am completely determined that i want to live for myself without having children or worries about having them and i really feel grateful and happy with my decision!

This decision was not sudden tho, it was something from many years ago and i had a psychological process with professionals to know how to cope with it.

Opt for vasectomy because apart from being very safe (I hate condoms and other contraceptives because i had bad experiences with these lol), it adapts to my needs and what i want to be.

Thank you for answering. All the best to you.

But get that sperm count done

👍👍for your vasectomy but remember that condoms also protect you and check sperm count.

p.s. - my vasectomy 46 years ago was done to protect my wife's life. Hours after our son was born she had a major issue associated with the birth and the Dr. mentioned that having another child could result in her death. I did not want her to endure any personal hardships to prevent her from becoming pregnant by me so I had the Vas.

Bear in mind a vasectomy does not protect you from a sexually transmitted disease, but a condom does.

I cannot emphasise xsevenx comment enough. The withdrawal method has never been a sensible method of birth control generally as sperm can be passed on before ejaculation. It is also a very bad way of trying to avoid STDs
