Sexual intercourse can usually be resumed in about a week (depending on recovery); however, pregnancy is still possible as long as the [[sperm count]] is above zero. Another method of contraception must be relied upon until a sperm count is performed either two months after the vasectomy or after 10–20 ejaculations have occurred.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/vasectomy-14387 |title=Vasectomy Procedure, Effects, Risks, Effectiveness, and More |author=Healthwise Staff  |work=webmd.com |date=May 13, 2010 |access-date=March 29, 2012}}</ref>

After a vasectomy, contraceptive precautions must be continued until [[azoospermia]] is confirmed. Usually two semen analyses at three and four months are necessary to confirm azoospermia. The British Andrological Society has recommended that a single semen analysis confirming azoospermia after sixteen weeks is sufficient.<ref>{{cite web|title=Post Vasectomy Semen Analysis|url=http://www.cambridge-ivf.org.uk/patients/andrology-services/post-vasectomy-semen-analysis-pvsa|website=Cambridge IVF|access-date=23 October 2015|ref=CambridgeIVF|archive-date=26 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226162148/https://www.cambridge-ivf.org.uk/patients/andrology-services/post-vasectomy-semen-analysis-pvsa|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Post-vasectomy, testicles will continue to produce sperm cells. As before vasectomy, unused sperm are reabsorbed by the body.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://urology.med.miami.edu/specialties/male-urologic-health/vasectomy |title= Vasectomy |author=<!--Not stated--> |website=University of Miami Health System, Miller School of Medicine |access-date=28 December 2019}}</ref>
