The doctor didnt really give us a time line. I have read from 3 to 12 months though! At 6 months the semen analysis sperm count was 0 so doctor told us it was not a successful surgery! We have not tested since 6 months and it will be a year since the surgery next month! I am still not pregnant so i am assuming that it did not work! I think we should probably have a semen analysis again to make sure! So have you had a semen analysis done yet? Thank you for replying....its good to know there are others out there who have have had the surgery! Thanks, Steph
