You’ve had your vasectomy—now it’s time to confirm that it was successful. The final step is a semen analysis, which checks to ensure there’s no sperm left in your seme, clearing you to discontinue other forms of birth control. With modern at-home kits, this process is quick, convenient, and private.
At the Vasectomy Center of Connecticut in Glastonbury, Dr. Scott Matson is dedicated to providing top-notch care from start to finish. Our team is committed to making this process as smooth and comfortable as possible, which is why we have partnered with Fellow to offer at-home semen analysis kits. No awkward visits to a clinic or lab—just a discreet and simple testing experience from the comfort of your own home.

A post-vasectomy sperm test is the critical final step to confirm your procedure’s success, and luckily, the process is simple. About 12 weeks (3 months) after your vasectomy, you’ll collect a semen sample at home, send your kit back to Fellow’s certified lab, and within a few days, you’ll get your results. That's it!
The Fellow kit is designed for accuracy, ease of use, and convenience. It eliminates the need for awkward in-office visits and lets you handle the process on your own schedule. Plus, if you need to retest, Fellow makes it simple by automatically sending another kit at no additional charge.
