Vasectomy candidates

Considering vasectomy? This is a big step!
Here is some general information about the procedure and your options should you change your mind in the future.
Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception. Sperm cells are produced in the testicles. During the vasectomy procedure, the male vas deferens (the tubes that carry the sperm from the testicles) are severed and then tied or sealed in such a manner that keep sperm out of the seminal fluid. Vasectomy has many benefits, making it one of the more common sterilization methods in the US today. It is a one-time, highly effective and relatively simple procedure. It is much less expensive and complex than the equivalent female sterilization procedures. It neither impacts your hormone composition nor affects the ability to become and stay erect. Your ejaculation will remain the same, with no change in volume.

How much does vasectomy cost?
Vasectomy is a simple procedure; so are the costs. Nationwide, the cost of a vasectomy ranges between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the method used, and usually includes the follow-up sperm count tests.

You are not alone.
It has been estimated that around 500,000 vasectomy surgeries are performed each year in the United States!

What does the procedure involve?
Vasectomy is usually performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center or a doctor’s office. There are several methods for conducting the procedure, all of which include the sealing of both vas deferens. Due to the simplicity of the surgery, it usually takes less than thirty minutes to complete.

Vasectomy is not 100% birth control safe, as no other contraception method is 100% effective, other than total abstinence. Still, the methods count as very safe, with failure rates between 0.4% to 0.07%. To be on the safe side, it is highly recommended to take two post-procedure sperm tests, usually between 8 to 12 weeks’ post-surgery.

Regrets following a Vasectomy procedure.
Although regret is not the most immediate risk of vasectomy, it is the most common. As the remarriage trend is growing, almost 42 million American adults have been married more than once with many more breaking-down non-marriage relationships. Starting a new marriage and building a new family is one of the leading reasons for regretting vasectomy. Wanting another child and re-planning the family are among others. The number of men considering vasectomy reversal in the US is substantial, with many giving up their dreams for the high costs and success rate of an invasive procedure.
5%-10% of men in the US eventually choose to have a vasectomy reversal procedure.

Can one reverse Vasectomy?
Reversing vasectomy is difficult (requires an invasive procedure), expensive ($5,000 – $15,000) and many times unsuccessful; therefore health professionals generally do not always recommend it.

Reasonably priced, and communicates well about pricing and subscriptions. Recommended for anyone undergoing HRT.

Sabine Martin

My partner and I used Sppare.me last year. It was very simple, with clear instructions and a quick turnaround. Being able to talk with someone over the phone to answer questions helped a lot, and made my partner and I feel confident that Sppare.me was the right choice in securing our reproductive future. We will see in the future when the time comes to retrieve the samples provided, but at the moment, I'd rate our experience as 5 stars.

Matias Gonzalez Bustos

The entire process was super easy and transparent. I had no issues sending in my stuff, and the customer support has been wonderful as well.

Claire Sautter

The kit arrived in a timely manner and the billing department was willing to work with me with payments. The only real issue I had was with the customer service rep I had who was rather aggressive and rude.

Nya McCutcheon

They made storage an easy and reassuring process. The kit is clear and easy to complete, and they provide a thorough assessment upon receipt.

Jo Kingswood

The process was simple and their customer service has been very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this service.

Daniel Palmer

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and was looking for a place to help with preserving my future before going through treatment. After researching other companies this company was the best option and most professional out of all them. I’m so happy I found this company in time. Thank you Sppare.me for everything!

Megan Perez

The Sppare me kit was extremely easy to use. My husband was getting ready to have a vasectomy and having slight doubts I ordered one a few days before the surgery so we can save what he had left post surgery. We are still happy we got it done as we no longer have to worry...but are EXTREMELY glad we got the Sppare me kit in the event we change our mind. It arrived quickly, instructions were easy to follow, sent the package and got our report within 30 days of sending it. I highly recommend!

Ford Addict

Worked great awesome service

Stacey Miller

This company is great. They respond to emails quickly to answer any questions you have.

Vivian Blankman

I had a wonderful experience with this company! The process was quick and easy, and the rates were very reasonable. As a trans woman, this service was a really important step early in my transition, and it's been a huge relief to know that I'm secured for the future!

949 0867

Very reasonably priced, why not make use of the technology available to the modern day family?

Nick S

If you're a bit uncomfortable doing this kind of thing in a doctor's office, this service is really nice. Being able to get STD testing right after and having the samples listed as tested is a big plus, as well. The process was quick and easy which really helps since it's an otherwise awkward thing to do.

Amarah Wright

My experience was very expeditious and inclusive. As a transwoman this was a really amazing option for me and now I have reassurance for my future despite what family planning option I choose. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone it is applicable for.

Robin Brooks

Good service, easy to use, and customer service is very responsive.

Michael Mase

Great customer service, very quick and easy to use. Highly recommend.

zekkdarklighter

Very fast response, with clear instructions both in the box and sent through email. everything taken care of with little effort on my part. nice, smooth transaction

Riley Castelli

This company made it extremely convenient and comfortable to handle this important aspect of planning for my transition. You can't beat the comfort of your own home.

John Jerman

I initially gave this company a poor review for their frustrating customer service. And while I did have a less than perfect interaction with an individual on their team, I eventually got in touch with one employee, Lio. Lio was fantastic offering quick, simple answers to all my questions, and understanding my concerns. While I did have a negative experience at first, I ultimately had a great experience with Sppare.me. I hope that this review helps and encourages folks to try out this company in the future. Reaching out to them was the best thing I did because they were so very helpful!

Tyler Kaftan

Kit was easy and instructions were clear. When I had questions, they were answered in less than 24 hours. If I had to go back and choose again, I would make the same choice!

Blake Hupfer

The directions and process were simple. The customer service was prompt and helpful. I would recommend Sppare.Me to anyone wanting this service.

very convenient service makes me feel confident W G

Katarina Roman

As a trans woman this process is scary. If it's not done properly I won't get a second chance. Sppare.me makes it easy and affordable. However there is no confirmation my specimens are okay. Just blindly paying money for it :/ Otherwise the experience was a breeze, and my samples were mailed over and processed really quickly. Then I was able to start HRT and begin my journey without too much worry about making more children. I encourage sppare.me to come up with a way to confirm your sperm storage. Maybe something like a photograph of your sample either up close or packed ready for storage. Seems easy enough and your customers would love it. In fact it would probably bring more in as a unique feature.

Ava Joy

Easy and convenient. Great pricing, and this is their specialty so it feels very streamlined.

A. Schluchter

Happy to have a safe back up.

Nate Edwards

Service was easy to use, there was a slight miscommunication at the beginning but they quickly fixed this.

Victor Luong

After doing some research, I found this was the lowest cost option overall. I banked in September 2020, and the process of banking was nearly seamless and went as promised on the website.

Daniel McGee

Very awesome experience with Sppareme! Quick, discreet, and convenient service. Doesn’t get any easier than this. Very satisfied customer! Have recommend you guys to other friends who are interested in the same service!! Thank you :)

Abhisek Mohanty

Very good experience with Sppare. The process was simple and quick. I feel the only place of improvement is the quality of reporting, which in my case was not relevant. Cheers to you guys for providing this service,

Women White

I really enjoyed my experience using sspare me! The kit arrived in one day which was much faster than their competitor dadi whose estimated time was over a week. We needed the kit ASAP to save my husbands sperm before his vasectomy. The instructions in the emails we received were so clear and easy to follow. I’m glad we decided to use sspare me!

Sherry Bell

Incredibly convenient and easy, beyond what I could've imagined. Very clear and helpful instructions, alongside good support. If I weren't about to be infertile (hormone therapy) I'd probably do it again!

Andres Herrera

Easy and simple process, customer service was also quick and helpful. I accidentally ordered to be delivered on the wrong day and they quickly fixed it at the last second. Would recommend to anyone looking to use a storage service.

E LW

Simple enough, easy process. No complaints.

wad

Nothing to dislike about sppare.me

Sadie Pendleton

Very helpful and easy. Good experience. I have no complaints

Devi Gupta

The process was secure and convenient while in the privacy of my own home. Dropping the packages off was fairly discreet, and while I was worried about my sample in the mail everything worked out just fine. Definitely get the ultimate package and you won’t regret it!

Jesse

Great and easy to use program. They send through instructions for collection and pre paid packaging. Also the most cost effective place for storage. Highly recommend!
