A vasectomy reversal is a major step toward restoring your fertility, but the process isn’t complete until you’ve confirmed that everything is working as it should. A semen analysis after your reversal checks to see if sperm are back in your sample, giving you clear insight into how successful the procedure was. This test is an important part of the process and helps make sure you’re ready to move forward with confidence.

After your reversal, a semen analysis will help determine whether your fertility has been restored and if your body is producing enough healthy, motile sperm to fertilize an egg.
About 10 weeks after your procedure, you'll collect a sample using Fellow's at-home sperm test kit. The process is simple: collect your sample at home, ship it back to Fellow’s certified lab using the prepaid label, and receive your results within a few days. If sperm are detected, you’ll know the procedure was successful, and you can begin planning for the next steps in your fertility journey.
However, it's important to note that even after a successful reversal, you might need to test a few times. And, you might not make it back to 100% fertility. A number of factors can affect the outcome, including the length of time since your original vasectomy.
But what exactly is the test looking for?
