Test Your Sperm From Home
At-home sperm collection and testing kits offer a convenient and private way for you to assess your reproductive health at a clinical-level without visiting a doctor's office. These easy-to-use sperm analysis kits allow you to collect a sample in the comfort of your own home and mail it to a lab for professional analysis. Within days, you will receive detailed results about your sperm count, motility, concentration, and morphology - key factors that impact fertility. This information can help identify potential issues early, guide lifestyle changes to improve sperm health, or indicate if further evaluation by a specialist may be needed. For couples trying to conceive, at-home testing provides a simple first step to understand your fertility status. The accessibility and affordability of these kits make it easier than ever for you to be proactive about your reproductive wellbeing.
You can't Manage What You Don't Measure
What's Measured in the Sperm Analysis
Volume (Enhanced & Standard)
Volume, also known as semen volume, is the amount of semen produced during ejaculation. It's usually between 1.5 and 5 milliliters, or about ¼ to 1 teaspoon, per ejaculation. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) says that semen volume can range from 0.8 to 7.6 milliliters, with an average of 1–5 milliliters.
Total Motile Count (Enhanced & Standard)
This is the number of moving sperm in the entire ejaculate. It is calculated by multiplying the volume by the concentration (million sperm/ml) by the motility (% moving). There should be more than 20 million motile sperm in the ejaculate.
Concentration (Enhanced & Standard)
Sperm concentration is also known as the density of the sperm. Number of sperms may vary from 10 million/ml to more than 200 million/ml or 39 million per ejaculate volume.
Motility (Enhanced & Standard)
Motility is a measure of how well your sperm are swimming, at least 40% should be motile, or moving.
Morphology (Enhanced Only)
Sperm morphology, which refers to the size and shape of sperm, is crucial because it affects the sperm's ability to swim properly and fertilize an egg.
Post-Thaw Analysis: Motility (Enhanced & Standard)
Post-thaw analysis is an additional step taken after analysis to ensure that the samples are still viable after thawing and can be used in the future. Your concentration will be measured again. It is normal for a sample to have lower motility post-thaw.
Post-Thaw Analysis: Concentration (Enhanced & Standard)
Post-thaw analysis is an additional step taken after analysis to ensure that the samples are still viable after thawing and can be used in the future. Your concentration will be measured again. It is normal for a sample to have lower motility post-thaw.
Why does sperm morphology matter?
Sperm morphology analysis is a crucial component of fertility assessment. This examination goes beyond simple sperm count, evaluating the size, shape, and structure of individual sperm cells. A comprehensive morphology analysis can reveal abnormalities in the sperm head, midpiece, or tail that may affect fertilization capacity. By analyzing the percentage of normally shaped sperm, fertility specialists can better predict the likelihood of successful conception and identify potential underlying health issues. While other factors like sperm count and motility are important, morphology offers a unique perspective on sperm's ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg. For anyone seeking a thorough evaluation of their reproductive health, including a morphology analysis provides a more complete picture of their fertility status and can be a crucial step in family planning or addressing fertility concerns.
