Post vasectomy postal testing (for yearly reassurance)

4 replies

My DH underwent a vasectomy a couple of years ago.

We'd like to do annual postal testing to reassure all is well but there's so many options online.

We live in rural Scotland so postal options are best. I've seen Boots sell a test kit but that seems to be more aimed at fertility checking so you know if you have a low sperm count.

Can anyone recommend a reputable place for postal sperm testing post vasectomy?

DH had his vasectomy done at a local cottage hospital with no private after service to pay for. Also I've checked into Marie Stopes because they say online that they do private tests for reassurance but it's not clear if it's a postal service and it seems to be English clinics only.

Nevermind, apparently Marie Stopes do postage tests for £40!

When we phoned to pay/get a kit in the post from Marie Stopes the lady didn't seem to mind that we were based in Scotland either. so that's a relief since i didn't have a backup plan - some of the kit suppliers i looked at online looked like real scams!
