agree D

how long after vasectomy, u dont see viable sperm in ejaculate?

AFTER 1 month

[ArchivalUser]

maybe longer
You must use another method of birth control until you have a follow-up sperm count test 2 months after the vasectomy (or after 10 to 20 ejaculations over a shorter period of time).
