I guess there could still be some viable sperm left over in the ducts.
Whats the lifetime of a sperm cell?

Now I'm confused on this again... Everyone says its D. and I thought so too, but sperm only live a couple of days... so how can there be viable sperm in the ejaculate???

Fertility may still occur 90 days after vasectomy, that I learned when did my clerkship.

a vesectomized male has sperms still in the portion of his ducts distal to the location of vasectomy...
those sperms remain viable..
and sperm viability is 1-2 days OUTSIDE the body ...not inside the body...
if you remember, mature sperms stay in the vas deferens for quite some time...almost 4 weeks...
look it up.. I hope it will help
