A sperm test, also known as a semen analysis, is a simple test to check a man's sperm health. It measures the sperm count, concentration, motility, morphology, and semen volume. These factors provide insights into fertility potential and can help identify issues that may affect the ability to conceive. It is important to note that sperm quality can vary over time, so multiple tests may be needed for a comprehensive evaluation. The results can help guide treatment plans to improve the chances of successful conception.

In short, we believe our test is for any person with sperm.

Sperm testing is beneficial for a wide range of individuals and couples. Whether you're currently concerned about fertility issues or planning ahead for the future, sperm testing can provide valuable insights and help you take positive steps towards optimising your reproductive health. 1 in 6 couples today struggle with infertility, but by being informed and taking positive steps, sperm testing can be a first step towards achieving your desired family goals.

The main groups that commonly undergo sperm testing include, but are not limited to:

• Those proactively planning for future children and seeking to ensure optimal sperm health.

• Couples experiencing difficulty conceiving.

• Individuals leading lifestyles associated with higher risk for fertility issues.

• People curious about their reproductive health and seeking insights.

• Individuals who have undergone a vasectomy and want to confirm its success

Testing your sperm is a courageous step. It offers valuable insights into fertility potential, detects underlying conditions, empowers decision-making, provides peace of mind, and guides personalised next steps for your journey. Acting today to maximise the chances of having a healthy family and optimising sperm health can lead to quicker conception, better pregnancy outcomes, and healthier children, serving as a vital indicator of your overall wellness. Moreover, it helps shift the testing burden from female partners, promoting a more balanced and equitable approach to fertility assessment.

Our sperm test results are highly comparable to those you would receive at an in-person clinic.

We conduct every semen analysis in a clinic-grade lab using the same testing method and equipment as clinics do. All results and reviewed by an embryologist before being securely sent to you.

The main difference in our approach is the addition of a preservative fluid to extend the "shelf life" of your sample and the application of an ageing algorithm to your results. This is how we are able to accurately test sperm samples up to 120 hours after they produced, compared with the strict requirement to test samples within one hour of production at an in-person clinic.

It's fundamentally the same sperm test as clinics offer and provides you with the same results, just delivered differently and optimised for your convenience.
