[this post might be a bit too much information for some]
I got a call from my urologist yesterday. Evidently, the test specimen I dropped off two weeks ago (after the requisite three-month waiting period), shows that I’m not quite sterile yet. Some of my little guys* are still hanging around. He said that there weren’t very many little guys* in the sample — not enough for him to think that my vasectomy didn’t take — but enough for him to tell me that I’m not yet in the clear. And that I should wait another two months to “submit” another specimen.
Apparently, after 12-15 ejaculations I should have been in the clear. I would have gotten Employee of the Month for the effort I put forward. Alas, my little guys* are resilient buggers.
Super-duper.

*My urologist always referred to my sperm as my “little guys”. He said it at least four times and paused for a split second before each time he said it… like he really wanted to say sperm but wouldn’t be able to control the ensuing fit of laughter. I have decided that my urologist is a twelve-tear-old with grey hair and probably giggles when he has to say penis.
