25 years ago I had a vasectomy but it did not matter much because my wife continued to use the pill. Well now I am single so figured I would get tested to make sure I am infertile. I got the post-vasectomy test from Quest and it says I am "out of range" because the expected range is simply zero, and the test did find some sperm.
After researching this I found that a vasectomy is considered a success and I am in no danger of getting anyone pregnant is I have no Motile sperm. So I called Quest and asked them did they find any motile sperm and they said the test does not produce motile vs immotile on the result. The "rare sperm, <1 per HPF" on the attached report means yes they found a few sperm in the sample, but less than one per microscope view, and it takes something like 50 microscope views to view the entire sample, so say there are 10 or 20 sperms in the sample, that's obviously way less than 100 million, which is normal.
But since the test result says Sperm Present I am not sure what I am supposed to do here, as I do not want to gamble. Your thoughts appreciated.
