You’re trying or planning to have a baby.
If you and your partner are trying to conceive or planning to get pregnant, a semen analysis is the first step to rule out male fertility issues. It’s never too soon — we recommend proactive semen analysis. Testing sperm early can help you avoid costly and unnecessary tests or treatments down the line, and can help you get more quickly to your goal of starting a family.
You want to improve your fertility.
Sperm takes about 72 days to produce. That means it will take at least 2–3 months for any changes you make to have a measurable impact on your sperm health. We recommend starting with a baseline semen analysis, and then testing every 3 months to see if your healthier lifestyle, surgery, or medication is helping to improve your fertility.
You might want to freeze your sperm.
If you’re freezing your sperm for the future, start with a semen analysis to ensure your sperm is healthy and fertile before freezing. One semen sample will be split into 4 vials. These vials can be sent to multiple labs for risk-free storage.
4 vials = Unlimited IVF/ICSI treatments and up to 4 IUI treatments
If you know you want to freeze multiple semen samples, check out the For Tomorrow or Forever bundles for a better value.
You’ve had a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal.
If you have a vasectomy for long-term birth control, you should get a semen analysis around 12 weeks after the procedure, to confirm there’s no sperm left in your semen.
If you have surgery to reverse a previous vasectomy, we recommend getting a semen analysis every month for 12 months to ensure your sperm quality, count, and motility is recovering.
Semen volume: How much semen you’re producing
Sperm concentration: How many sperm are present in your semen
Sperm motility: How many of your sperm are moving — a crucial indicator of your sperm’s health and fertility
Total motile sperm count: The final calculation of your sperm quantity and quality, which is highly correlated to your chances of creating a pregnancy
Sperm morphology: How many of your sperm are the proper size and shape
Post-thaw analysis: We freeze and thaw a small portion of your sample to assess if it’s a good candidate for cryopreservation (sperm freezing)
Legacy’s semen analysis looks at all the key metrics of sperm health. Many at-home sperm testing options don’t look at sperm motility or morphology, which are important parameters. We’re the only at-home sperm freezing option that includes a post-thaw analysis.
Our semen analysis is a clinic-grade semen analysis, without the clinic

What key factors do we measure?
Our semen analysis includes all the key metrics of sperm health, just like a fertility clinic or traditional lab.
HOW MUCH SEMEN YOU PRODUCE
Semen plays a crucial role in carrying sperm through the reproductive tract. Producing the right amount means giving sperm the best chance at reaching the egg for fertilization.
TOTAL NUMBER OF SPERM IN YOUR SAMPLE
A healthy sperm count means you’re producing and ejaculating enough sperm. A higher number improves your chances of conception, naturally or via fertility treatments.
THE RATIO BETWEEN SEMEN AND SPERM
Sperm concentration is the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. This number helps us compare your sample to others.
HOW MANY OF YOUR SPERM ARE MOVING
Motility is the percentage of your sperm that are moving properly; in order to fertilize an egg, your sperm must be “swimming.” Many at-home sperm count tests don’t include this essential metric, one of the most important factors in your fertility.
HOW MANY OF YOUR SPERM ARE THE PROPER SIZE AND SHAPE
A sperm’s structure affects its ability to reach and fertilize an egg. Morphology is the percentage of sperm that are normally shaped; abnormalities may indicate poor sperm development or genetic issues. Fun fact: most sperm are abnormally shaped. Morphology as low as 4–14% is totally normal.

Frequently asked questions
If your analysis reveals that your sample isn’t viable for freezing — for example, if no sperm was found in your sample — you have a few options. You can speak to one of our male fertility specialists to understand what may be affecting your fertility, as well as some next steps you may want to take. You also may want to re-test to confirm any abnormal results.
Don’t worry: if your sample is deemed not viable for storage by our lab, we’ll refund you for the storage plan you purchased as well as any unused services, such as additional testing that could not be performed.
