The main sign of low sperm count is difficulty in achieving pregnancy with a partner. Other possible indicators of a low sperm count may include:
Understanding sperm concentration levels is essential as you prepare for your fertility journey.
A variety of factors can impact sperm count, including:
Monitoring sperm count over time can help you identify factors that may be impacting your reproductive health. Using a male at-home fertility test such as the Men’s Rapid Fertility Test can help you understand your fertility status better. Since fertility can change over time, you can order a refill kit to continue tracking your sperm count.
Taking a sperm test at home helps you get a clearer picture of your sperm health so you know where to start on your reproductive health journey. If you have questions or concerns about your fertility, share your results with your provider to get a jump start on your process. In addition, if you’re continually testing low, it can be a great indicator that further analysis by your healthcare provider may be necessary.
Adopting healthy habits can also improve your reproductive health and chances of conceiving. Common suggestions include4:
Your sperm count can change daily, weekly and monthly due to changes in your health, lifestyle and the world around you. To get the most accurate benchmark results, we recommend testing twice to establish a baseline for measuring progress. After that, test monthly outside of your partner’s fertile window (the six-day interval when pregnancy can occur, ending on her ovulation day) to avoid conflicting with any attempts to get pregnant. There are a range of health and lifestyle changes that may help to improve your sperm concentration and semen volume, so please consult with your physician to find which may work best for you.
Many men start to see improvements from those changes starting after one month, but because it takes sperm a while to fully develop, it may take two months or longer to see meaningful increases after implementing health and lifestyle changes. The Men’s Rapid Fertility Test comes with two tests, and refill packs are available so that you can test regularly to track changes over time.
To ensure accuracy, we recommend collecting your sample by masturbation only.
