What you may be asking yourself right now
What sperm parameters does this test measure?
Motile sperm concentration is the most important sperm parameter when analyzing semen. It measures how many moving sperm are in the ejaculate sample. (Did you know that there’s no way the naked eye can tell if ejaculate contains sperm at all?) Sperm need to be able to swim forward to reach the egg—and that’s what motile sperm concentration reveals. Generally, the higher the better for fertility. Learning about your motile sperm concentration early can help you get support sooner if needed, rather than losing time trying at home unknowingly.
The test also provides a score that puts your result in the context of other people with sperm who have had children. Finally, you’ll get a recorded video of your sample (trust us, it’s cool!) that can be shared with your doctor or kept completely private inside the app.

What will I need to take this test?
The kit comes with a WiFi testing device that connects to your smartphone or computer, along with a power cable and all the testing accessories you’ll need. It works with iPhone (iOS 11 and above) and Android (Android 6 and above) phones and PC (Windows 7 and above) and Mac (Mojave and above) computers. Note: Not currently compatible with Google Pixel devices running Android 13.
The instructions cover how to download the testing app, and the app will take you step by step through the 20-minute testing process. You’ll then get results immediately on the app.

How do I take the test?
You’ll find directions in the test kit, but here’s a quick summary. First, you’ll want to download the app (get it on Android, iPhone, Windows PC or Mac). Then, follow these easy steps.
- Open the app and connect the testing device to WiFi by following the instructions on the screen.
- Lay out all the pieces from the box on a clean surface.
- Collect your sample in the provided cup.
- Add the liquefaction powder to your sample.
- Wait 10 minutes, then mix your sample. It should now be runny.
- Use the pipette to drop your sample onto the slide.
- Insert the slide into the device. The device will record a video of the moving sperm and send it to the app on your phone. Your results will appear in 2 minutes.
What should I do if I get a low score?
Don’t panic if you wind up with low motile sperm concentration or quality. Sperm are constantly regenerating and often respond to new healthy habits. We recommend loading up on the research-backed vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in The Power Prenatal for sperm, making helpful lifestyle changes, and consulting with your doctor if you’re trying to conceive.
Why are there two tests per box?
Because it takes about three months for sperm to mature—and because they typically respond well to positive lifestyle changes!—we’ve included a second test so that you can take it again and look for signs of improvement. The included WiFi testing device can actually be used up to 100 times, and we’ll soon offer refills for it too.
Can the At Home Sperm Test confirm a successful vasectomy?
The At-Home Sperm Test is optimized for fertility testing and reports motile sperm values above and below 6 million per ml. Currently, our test does not give a value of ZERO and is therefore not recommended for post-vasectomy testing. Our score ranks low, moderate/normal, so it wouldn't identify a ZERO.
