DH is about 3 weeks out from his. We have to drop a sample off at a lab anytime after 12 weeks/50 ejaculates. I have a log going in the bedroom. Unfortunately for DH he has to fess up every time he masterbates.
He was put under for his procedure, so I had to drive him. He was pretty miserable for the first week or so.
You had to keep track? Wow, is that common? I am trying to get my H to get thus done. He is all for it..in theory. He has yet to even call his doctor and my littlest one is two.

I don't know that the log is completely necessary. It just makes me feel better. I guess there's no point in taking the 12 week sample in if DH hasn't flushed them out enough times.
My H just had one in May and is the BIGGEST baby ever. He was sore for about a week after and even admits that is was not a big deal. He wore briefs for two weeks and he thinks that helped.
He has to have 30 ejaculations before being tested and if it's clear, he has to retest one more time before they consider it safe.
I can't remember really well, but I know he had multiple checks. And he had the option to get checked again whenever he was concerned. I want to say he went back 3x? He was clear every time so we don't use any other birth control.
Oh also his recovery was very easy. He had it done in the office with local anesthesia on a Thursday or Friday, took it easy for the weekend and was fine by Monday.

I don't post much over here, but DH's experience was different. He was told to clear everything out, and was given 2 take home tests. He got the results within a few minutes.
Also, his experience was horrible. Tons of pain during the procedure, swelling to grapefruit size, couldn't walk or stand without pain for weeks. It's been over a year and he still has a quarter-sized lump. Awful.

Just a check-in at 12 weeks and he was told he needed to cum around 25 times before the 12 week deadline.
He definitely got the weekend, maybe a week, for me to baby him. The frozen peas and frozen corn were the best, along with a spare jock strap.
It's our only form of bc because most other methods are ruled out for us. It took a good couple months before I stopped having a mild freak out in the days before my period.
