Can Vasectomy Fail?
Hi my husband recently had a vasectomy and he was tested 2 months later and tested negative for sperm. I have since stopped using birth control (marvelon ). I have missed a period and am hoping its just due to going off my pill and my body readjusting. Whats your opinion o this ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are very less chances of a vesectomy to fail. But one thing you should keep in mind that a male will remain fertile for atleast 30 ejaculations post vasectomy so you still need to use some contraceptive precautions until your husband has had 30 ejaculations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
