I know people overemphasize negatives so naturally this reddit is filled with horror stories. What's tricky for my mind is you can't "see" that it's done, you must trust a lab test.

I am by nature a moderately paranoid person. Getting the operation tomorrow. Will follow all instructions, but I think I'm going to get multiple different tests after 3 months and probably (at least for a while) still wear condoms after being cleared. The posts of people getting clear results and then their partner getting pregnant are terrifying.

Does anyone test themselves once or twice a year? Did anyone else deal with these thoughts? What did it take to calm them? Does anyone get the operation and continue wearing condoms and pulling out the rest of their life? I may very well do this.

Getting a vasectomy soon, it looks like most people are back to heavy lifting 4-5 weeks post op.

What can I do to try and keep strength and muscle mass loss minimal during that time?

A bit of a bummer cause I'm in the middle of a great run, feeling strong but don't want to risk anything getting back to it too early. Thanks.

What I am asking is, LONG after you've recovered, if you are active every single day, sometimes twice, could that put extra strain or complicate anything? Perhaps increase risk of granuloma? Thank you.

I thought outside the body sperm live at most 15 minutes or so. How does the analysis work? Thanks.

Curious about people who are very active in the bedroom. I certainly plan on waiting the recommended time afterwords, perhaps longer, but are there complications or risks longer term post-procedure for very sexually active people, like nearly everyday, sometimes twice in a day.
