Step 1

At home

Order and receive your kit

Your semen collection kit is delivered directly to your door — expedited shipping included. No prescription or doctor’s order required.

Collect your sample

Register your kit online. Produce a semen sample, via masturbation, from the comfort of home. Follow the simple instructions to prepare it for shipping.

Ship the kit back to our lab

Overnight shipping is included. Legacy’s sperm transport liquid maintains the health of your sperm until it arrives at the lab for analysis and freezing.

Step 2

At our lab

Your sample is analyzed

Our andrology scientists assess key measures of sperm health, including sperm count, motility (how many sperm are swimming), and morphology (how many sperm are the right shape). Advanced DNA fragmentation testing is also available, that looks at the genetic integrity of your sperm — we’re the only at-home solution that offers it.

Your sample is frozen

If you choose, we can store your sample for up to 25 years. We conduct a post-thaw analysis — in which we thaw a tiny portion of your sample and re-analyze it — to ensure it’s viable for long-term sperm freezing.

Get your results

Semen analysis results are delivered securely to your phone within 48 hours, along with personalized recommendations to improve sperm health.

Step 3

In long-term storage

Your sample is safe

Your sperm is divided and stored in multiple geographic locations as an extra level of protection against any risk. You can see exactly where your sperm is stored on your client dashboard.

Your sample is secure

Our facilities are monitored 24/7, and your sample is stored with redundant liquid nitrogen to protect against power outages.

Your sample is easy to use

Withdraw your sample and send it to a healthcare provider at any time. We’ll renew your plan until you’re ready. Sperm frozen for up to 40 years has been used to produce healthy children
