I can't add any personal stories that anybody else hasn't already mentioned, but my experience (and those of the dozen-odd people I know who've done it) fell into the 'everything was fine and went normally' camp. Only one person got grapefruit balls from an internal bleed, the rest followed doctor's advice and didn't help their friends move the next day.

I had some blood in the first few loads but that went away by the time the second test came around and it didn't ever hurt.

Would recommend finding an experienced doctor if you have any say in who touches your junk. The one I went to had decades under his belt and did like a dozen of them every Thursday so his spontaneous reversal rate was almost a tenth of the national average.

Make no babby's.

I have my consult appt on Wednesday, is this something I should be asking about?

Doesn't hurt to ask imo. Average at the time was 1:500 and he claimed to be batting 1:4000. It wasn't gonna be the difference between getting me snipped or not but we humans love us some reassuring numbers, I guess.

National numbers are currently about one in a thousand for spontaneous reversals. If a doctor has been doing it long enough they might know their own stat.
