We had been TTC for just over 6 months and figured we'd try it. Husband made me leave while he did the test - haha - when I returned the results were negative, or positve, whatever is bad... Meaning, low count. He said he messed up part of it though so it may not have been 100% accurate.... And then about 2 weeks later I was pregnant. </p> <p>So... like SweetKate &amp; MerryC said -- it's probably better to test motility/morphology than these at home tests that are REALLY easy to screw up, and may not be that accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82952 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:06:53 +0000 mrsjyw 82952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it 3 or 4 months from now after a good 6 months of trying to find out if there are unknown issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82942 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:44:23 +0000 KT326 82942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with MerryC, there is so much more involved than just sperm count. A man can have a great count but if the motility and morphology aren't good than you could still have problems getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82938 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:39:28 +0000 tequiero21 82938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would only do it if we've been ttc for awhile with no results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82925 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:28:58 +0000 heffalump 82925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only do it if we were having problems TTC. I've gotten pregnant twice.... so I'm hoping I'll never need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82915 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:22:53 +0000 twinmama 82915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The price varies a ton depending on the medical facility, but we were able to get a full semen analysis at our local hospital for about $65. Any problems often lie in factors of morphology, motility, etc. rather than just count. So my 2 cents is that I'd rather have an SA performed with a true medical analysis, because otherwise you're not getting the full picture, and could therefore get a false sense of security or worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82910 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:14:03 +0000 Lozza 82910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here, it sounds neat and I'd be interested just for the fun of it, but we don't NEED it so I wouldn't shell out the cash. But it would be cool to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82908 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:11:01 +0000 chopsuey 82908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. Wow. I might do it out of curiosity, but not at a $40 price tag! :) lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-your-sos-sperm-count-at-home-for-40#post-82907 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:09:19 +0000 daniellemybelle 82907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A new product called SpermCheck (<a href="http://www.spermcheck.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spermcheck.com/</a>) is available now at Walgreens.com and CVS.com. I read about it today in TIME magazine.</p> <p>Would any of you try this out? We're not even TTC and I admit I am really tempted! </p>
