At-home test · Results in minutes
Check your sperm count from home.
This test tells you whether your sperm count is above or below a level doctors often use as a guide: about 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen. You’ll see a clear positive or negative result in minutes. Sold in stores only — not online.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Always read the leaflet in your box before you test, and talk to a doctor about what your result means for you.
- ✓ Results ready in 5–10 minutes
- ✓ Based on a widely used sperm-count benchmark
- ✓ Private testing at home
- ✓ Easy-to-read test and control lines
What this test does
It measures whether your semen sample shows enough sperm to reach that about 15 million per millilitre mark — the same kind of cut-off many clinics refer to. You’ll use a small cassette: two lines mean different things, and the leaflet in your box explains every detail.

What’s in the box
- Collection cup
- Transfer tool (dropper)
- Solution bottle
- Test cassette
- Printed instructions
You’ll also need a watch or phone timer — not included.
After you add the drops, start your timer. Read your result between 5 and 10 minutes. Don’t read it after 10 minutes. Look in good light: you only need to see if lines show up — don’t worry about how dark they are.
The basics
Your printed instructions walk you through every step — this is just the big picture.

1. Give your sample
Wait at least 2 days (48 hours), but no more than 7 days, since your last ejaculation. Collect in the cup without lubricants, lotions, or condoms. Let the cup sit 20 minutes to 3 hours so the sample thins, then run the test within 3 hours of collecting.

2. Run the test
Follow the pictures in your leaflet: mix the sample, fill to the line, add it to the solution bottle, wait as directed, then put three drops in the cassette. Don’t touch the result window.

3. Read your result
You should always see a control line (C). No C line means the test didn’t work — use a new kit. If C is there: a test line (T) means your count is at or above that benchmark; no T line means it’s below. Light or dark doesn’t matter — only whether the line is there.

What your result means
Look for lines at C (control) and T (test). The full leaflet in your box has pictures — this is the short version.
Below the benchmark
You see C but no T: your sperm count is below about 15 million per millilitre on this test. That doesn’t prove you can’t father a child — other things matter too — but it’s a reason to follow up with a doctor if you’re trying to conceive.
At or above the benchmark
You see both C and T: your count is at least about 15 million per millilitre on this test. That’s a good sign by this measure, but it doesn’t guarantee pregnancy — talk to a doctor if you still have concerns.
Test didn’t work
No line at C means the test failed. Try again with a new kit. If it keeps happening, contact us with the lot number on the box.
Common questions
Why wait a few days after sex before testing?
The instructions ask for a sample collected at least 2 days (48 hours) and no more than 7 days after your last ejaculation so the result is reliable.
Can I use lube or a condom?
No. Lubricants, lotions, and condoms can ruin the result. Collect the sample by hand into the cup, as the leaflet describes.
What doesn’t this test tell me?
It only looks at how many sperm are in your sample — not how well they move or look. It isn’t birth control, doesn’t prove who the father is, and doesn’t test for STIs. Only a doctor can give you a full fertility picture.

Safety & storage
For self-testing only, using semen as described in your leaflet. Don’t swallow anything from the kit. One person, one test — don’t reuse. Don’t use after the expiry date or if the seal is broken. Keep out of reach of children. If fluid gets in your eyes, rinse with water. Store the sealed pouch in a cool, dry place (about 2–30°C / 36–86°F); don’t freeze. Once you open the pouch, use the cassette right away — don’t wait more than 30 minutes.
