Over the counter sperm analysis?

Question

has anyone used the walgreens or other over the counter sperm analysis kit? If so was it accurate?

Answer 1

HOnestly the only thing they test for is to make sure the man has at least the minimum of 20mil/ml of sperm.  It doesnt test for morphology or motility, which are key to getting pregnant.  If you want to test at home, buy a kids microscope for around $25 at Toys R US, Target, etc that has magnification for 100x and 400x.  Then get a "sample" from your partner.  Take one drop and set it on a slide, put on a slide cover and wait about 15-30 min for it to liquify.. Then view it at 100x.  It should look like pepper flakes.  Then switch to 400x and you should see the actual sperm.  To know a count, take the number you see and divide it by 2.  That is the millions of sperm/ml.  (20 mil/ml is the end of normal range for sperm counts).  HTH!
