Description

If you’ve found a known donor through Match Me’s self-match option, this at-home semen analysis provides peace of mind about the donor’s sperm health—ensuring you have a snapshot of key sperm parameters before proceeding. It’s also an excellent choice if you’re considering a donor egg pathway and want to confirm there are no hidden male-factor issues.

The entire process can be done from the donor’s home. A courier picks up the sample, which is then analyzed in our accredited lab—delivering a hassle-free yet comprehensive look at sperm count, motility, and morphology.

Key Parameters Assessed:

• Volume & Concentration: Confirms there are enough sperm per milliliter for successful fertilization.
• Total Count: Gauges if the sample meets the threshold for a viable attempt, whether you’re using donor eggs or not.
• Motility: Measures how actively sperm are moving—critical for fertilization success, whether at home or in a clinic.
• Morphology: Checks the shape/structure of sperm; significant abnormalities may reduce fertilization odds.
• pH & Appearance: May uncover underlying issues if values fall outside the normal range.
• Viscosity: Evaluates how easily sperm can move, impacting their ability to reach and fertilize the egg.

What’s Included:

• At-home sperm collection kit
• Courier pick-up from the donor’s home
• Discreet, lab-safe packaging

Why It Matters for Donor-Assisted Conception:

• Reassurance About Donor Quality: If you’ve self-matched through Match Me, ensure your chosen donor’s sperm meets healthy parameters.
