Home kit to test sperm count?

[Anna85]

I was wondering if it is worth buying those male home fertility test. They are kind of pricy, so it would be nice to hear other's experience before investing. Online reviews are mixed.

Hi Anna85, is there any reason why you can't get a referral for your partner to have his fertility tested via the NHS?

Hello Anna85, my hubby bought a test online. From memory though (unless you have found a better one) it only measured sperm count and didn't tell you anything about motility or morphology which are equally important. So, to be honest I would recommend going to your GP or a fertility clinic for this test as you will get a fuller picture from the result x

Totally agree with with Hopeful1982 - morphology and motility are really important and would be tested on the NHS or at a clinic.
