Don't roll the dice on your fertility.
Test your vasectomy with Fellow.
While most vasectomies are successful, they are not 100% guaranteed. That's why patients need to use another form of birth control to avoid pregnancy until vasectomy test results show zero sperm in a sample. In some cases, achieving zero sperm takes weeks or months longer than expected, and in rare cases, a second vasectomy is required. Testing is the only way to ensure you will not conceive a child.
Get peace of mind by testing conveniently at home.

How to test the success of your vasectomy from home:
1. Wait 12 weeks and clear out your system.
1. Wait 12 weeks and clear out your system.
The American Urological Association recommends ejaculating at least 20-30 times during a 12 week period following your vasectomy. During this time you and your partner should use other forms of birth control because there may be sperm cells lingering in your reproductive tract.

If your results indicate you have sperm in your sample, or if your doctor requires two tests to deem a vasectomy successful, test again conveniently at home. Some doctors advise to get tested a year after your procedure to ensure that your vas deferens (which are cut during the vasectomy) did not repair themselves.
