I"m going to start this off by saying this is not meant to be rude. You
have posted the question could I be pregnant so many times and everyone
has given you the same answer. To me, it seems like you're not really
taking the advice everyone is giving you. The tests aren't that
expensive, and stress can make your pain WORSE!. I really think you
should take a test to ease your mind. Vasectomy is not 100% birth
control. Good Luck and I hope you get some answers soon.
