We tried it - test came out that we had a problem - cant remember if negative or positive was a good thing.

Anyway.... DH said you had to make sure to get all of it on the test or it could be read wrong... So he said he did miss some of it.

We ended up being pregnant about 3 weeks later!

I would just ask your OBGYN or RE to ask for a semen analysis. DH had to do two of them - no big deal!

@Sugar.Biscuit: Haha, that's very sweet of him! It's great that he's willing to get checked - not every man is brave enough to do so!

We've used this. It most likely does what it says it does - indicate whether count is over or under a certain threshold. But the problem is that unless you get a negative result on this test (basically saying there could be low count), you're left without any useful information. Things could be totally fine, or there could be low motility/morphology going on.

If a SA is covered by your insurance, then the copay can't be much more than this (if at all) and you'll get much more useful information out of it.

We did it and despite following all directions to a T we kind of got a faulty result (it didn't do anything). When we added one more drop (as I thought that on one or two the drops hadn't been enough) then it worked and said we didn't have an issue. We couldn't trust the results.

I definitely recommend getting a semen analysis. It tells you much more than this test and even if it isn't covered by your insurance it only costs about $100 (at least it did for us).
