So today I had my final semen analysis after the vasectomy. It has been a total of 6 weeks and 29 ejaculations since I got the vasectomy done. They told me they need about 15 ejaculations to clear out the remaining sperm, but I tend to be an overachiever.
I went in today and provided a sample for them to examine. I met with Dr. Werner and he gave me the news: mission accomplished, the vasectomy was successful, there is zero sperm in your ejaculate.
It’s kind of interesting how some people go to him because they want to have a baby, and he’s helping them with that. Then there are others like me who are going to him because we don’t want to have any more children. I saw a young couple there today, and the contrast wasn’t lost on me.
In any case, I am now infertile. Though this was by choice, I don’t worry much about how that word sounds. It can sometimes feel limiting, but it is what it is.
Just a life long New Yorker sharing the journey through my lens. Please take note of a post’s date. The views I express here are subject to change and evolving as I grow and learn.
