My husband had a vasectomy in March of 2017. He had post vasectomy pain, which has improved greatly over the year but he is still dealing with (seeing a pain specialist). At 10 weeks, he had a negative seman sample, doctor said they saw no sperm. Was supposed to go back at 3 months but didnt. I got pregnant in October 2018. He has yet to return to doctor bc was such a terrible experience. But my obgyn looked at a sample today (April 2018) and saw no semen. I cant figure out what is going on, and my husband is reluctant to see urologist bc of past experiences. How am I pregnant? Anyone else experience this?

    Sperm can remain in tubes for quite some time and require cleaning out via masturbation etc.

    Until there has been x number of ejaculation and a definitive sperm count test there is always a strong possibility sperm in the pipes can cause pregnancy.

    If the all clear had been given then it's quite possible the vas has spontaneously rejoined thus allowing free flow of sperm again...this is one

    of the biggest risk factors with regards vasectomy.

    Both of the above seem possible from what you say
