Male Fertility Test
An at-home semen analysis with laboratory review — count, motility and morphology, without a clinic appointment.
A member of the care team speaks with you before anything is ordered. The price above is the full cost of the test — there is nothing to add later.
Mechanism
The number that usually goes unmeasured.
Roughly half of fertility difficulty involves a male factor, and it is the half most often left untested because the test has historically meant a clinic visit.
The kit is collected at home and posted to a laboratory, which measures concentration, motility and morphology and returns a report a provider then reviews with you.
It is also the test to do before starting testosterone therapy, which suppresses sperm production.

Evidence
What the research shows.
Semen analysis is the first-line investigation for male fertility and measures concentration, motility and morphology against reference ranges.
Results vary between samples, so a single abnormal result is usually repeated before conclusions are drawn.
Testosterone therapy suppresses sperm production — baseline testing before starting matters if fertility is a consideration.
Results vary. Clinical trial results apply only to the FDA-approved branded medication specifically identified and do not apply to compounded medications. All medications must be prescribed by a licensed provider based on medical necessity.
Safety and eligibility
Your consult and labs screen for all of the following.
- Follow the abstinence window in the instructions or the result will not be interpretable.
- One sample is not conclusive. Abnormal results are normally repeated.
- Planning a family? Discuss this before starting testosterone therapy, not after.
FAQ
Male Fertility Test questions.
For a first-line screen, yes — the same measurements are made in a laboratory. Complex cases still get referred on to a specialist.
If fertility matters to you, yes. Testosterone therapy suppresses sperm production, and enclomiphene is often the better route for men who want to preserve it.
