You can't Manage What You Don't Measure
What's Measured in the Sperm Analysis
Semen Volume (Enhanced & Standard)
Semen volume measures how much fluid is in your ejaculate, in millilitres. A normal semen volume is ≥1.4 mL under WHO 6th edition reference values, against an average of 3.7 mL and a normal range of 0.1 to 10 mL. Low semen volume can limit the total number of sperm available, even when sperm concentration itself is healthy.
Sperm Concentration (Enhanced & Standard)
Sperm concentration is how many sperm are present in each millilitre of semen — what most people mean when they say "sperm count". A normal concentration is ≥16 million per mL (WHO 6th edition), with an average of 73 million per mL and a range of 0 to 279 million.
Your report also includes two concentration-based motility measures: motile sperm concentration (MSC), the number of moving sperm per mL, and progressive motile sperm concentration (PMSC), the number per mL that are swimming forward in a straight line. These matter because a high concentration is only useful if the sperm are actually moving.
Total Sperm Count (Enhanced & Standard)
Total sperm count is the number of sperm in the entire ejaculate, not just per millilitre — it's your concentration multiplied by your semen volume. A normal total sperm number is ≥39 million (WHO 6th edition).
This is the figure that reflects overall production. A low concentration paired with a high volume can still give a normal total count, and a good concentration in a very small volume can still fall short — which is why both numbers are reported alongside each other.
Sperm Motility & Progressive Motility (Enhanced & Standard)
Sperm motility is the percentage of your sperm that are actively moving — normal is ≥42% (WHO 6th edition). Sperm have to travel to reach an egg, so movement matters as much as numbers. Your report separates progressive motility (normal ≥30%), rapid and slow progressive, non-progressive and immotile sperm, showing how many are swimming purposefully forward rather than simply moving in place.
Total Motile Sperm Count (TMSC) (Enhanced & Standard)
Total motile sperm count is the total number of moving sperm in your entire sample, and it's widely regarded as the most important number in a semen analysis. A normal total motile count is above 40 million. Because TMSC combines volume, concentration and motility into one figure, it gives a fuller picture of male fertility than any single parameter on its own.
Post-Thaw Sperm Analysis (Enhanced & Standard)
Post-thaw analysis checks how your sperm holds up to freezing. After cryopreservation, a vial is thawed and re-analysed, so you receive the number of vials cryopreserved, concentration per vial, post-thaw concentration and post-thaw motility. Freezing always costs some motility, so this step confirms your banked sample is viable for future use — and tells you exactly what's in storage.
Sperm Morphology (Enhanced Only)
Sperm morphology is the percentage of your sperm with a normal shape — normal is ≥4% (WHO 6th edition). That threshold surprises most people, but abnormal sperm morphology is common and many fertile men have a high proportion of misshapen sperm. Your report breaks down abnormal heads, midpieces and tails, excess residual cytoplasm, and a Teratozoospermia Index (TZI) showing how many defects appear on each abnormal sperm.
Motility (Enhanced & Standard)
Motility is a measure of how well your sperm are swimming, at least 40% should be motile, or moving.
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 — the size, shape, and structure of individual sperm — is a key part of fertility assessment. Abnormalities in the head, midpiece, or tail can affect fertilization capacity, and analyzing the percentage of normally shaped sperm helps specialists predict conception likelihood and flag underlying health issues. Alongside count and motility, morphology gives a fuller picture of fertility health and can be an important step in family planning.

At-Home Sperm Testing: Frequently Asked Questions.
Are At Home Semen Analysis Accurate?
Yes, modern at-home semen analysis kits, like those offered by CryoChoice, are accurate, convenient, and clinically validated. Our tests are processed in CLIA-certified labs using the same standards applied in fertility clinics. They measure key fertility markers such as sperm count, motility, morphology, and volume, giving you a reliable overview of your reproductive health.
While in-clinic testing may offer more specialized diagnostics, at-home sperm testing is an effective first step for evaluating male fertility from the comfort of your home.
How long does it take to get my sperm analysis back?
Results from a CryoChoice sperm analysis typically return within 2 business days after your sample reaches our laboratory. You'll receive a secure, detailed digital report that outlines key fertility metrics and provides clear explanations of what they mean for your reproductive health.
Our fast turnaround time ensures quick insights and actionable next steps, without waiting weeks for a clinic appointment.
Are my results shareable with my healthcare provider?
Absolutely. Your CryoChoice sperm analysis results are yours to share. Each report is downloadable and formatted for easy review by fertility specialists, urologists, or primary care physicians. This makes it simple to integrate at-home testing into your broader fertility care plan.
Our results include all medically relevant metrics, allowing for professional interpretation and follow-up when needed.
Is a blood test required?
Infectious disease testing is not required to store your sample; however, it is recommended so you can use your sample in the future. Most fertility clinics require infectious disease testing to be completed within 60+/- days of your last collection.
What is the cancellation policy?
Used Kits: Within seven (7) days of your sample being processed, you may request a refund if your sample is not viable for storage. All monies paid will be refunded minus a $199 lab processing fee, a $75 kit fee (per kit) and shipping charges.
Current Client Cancellations: To cancel your storage, you need to email cancel@cryochoice.com. You'll need to send in a signed cancellation form and ensure your account is current. If you have an urgent inquiry, please call us at (404) 620-4607.
How do I retrieve my sample?
If you ever wish to retrieve your sample(s), simply contact CryoChoice. We will send you a Withdrawal Form to begin the process. Our CryoChoice Fertility Logistics Specialist will coordinate with your Fertility Clinic to arrange the logistics. A shipping and release fee will be assessed, and your sample will be prepared within 4 weeks of your request.
Your account must be in good standing and all shipping and release fees must be paid in full prior to your sample being released. These shipping and release costs include retrieving your sample(s), preparing the vial(s) for shipping, filling the cryogenic shipping tank with liquid nitrogen coolant, delivering your sample to the requested facility within the United States and returning the cryogenic shipping tank back to our lab.
Does insurance cover sperm testing with CryoChoice?
In most cases, insurance does not currently cover at-home sperm testing. However, some Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) may be eligible to reimburse the cost.
We recommend checking with your provider to determine if CryoChoice’s testing services qualify under your plan, and we’re happy to provide itemized receipts for documentation.
Does CryoChoice sell or donate my sperm?
No. CryoChoice does not sell, donate, or distribute sperm samples. Your sample is your private medical material and is stored, tested, or cryopreserved solely under your authorization. We adhere to strict confidentiality, ethical practices, and FDA guidelines for reproductive tissue storage.
Your sperm is never shared or accessed without your written consent.
Is sperm analysis the same as fertility testing for men?
Sperm analysis is a core component of male fertility testing, but it may not capture every aspect of male reproductive health. While a semen analysis provides critical data, like sperm count, movement, and shape, it doesn’t detect hormonal issues, DNA fragmentation, or anatomical concerns.
That said, sperm testing is often the first and most important step in understanding your fertility. If results show abnormalities, your provider may recommend additional evaluations or treatment.
