Have any of you ladies ordered sperm tests to be used at home? I was wondering about ordering one for dh. I was looking at the ones on early-pregnancy-tests.com. Can you reuse the tests? How does it work?

Any info would be great, thanks.

I haven't actually used one... but I'm pretty sure they're not reusable, etc.

I would have to say though, that they're not entirely effective. They will tell you whether or not sperm is present over a certain amount... but that isn't necessarily the point. If your DH has a slightly low count, but perfect everything else, you'll be concerned there's a problem when there isn't... or it could be that his count is great, but motility and morphology are the issue, etc.

I would say, can't hurt, but if you want 'real' answers, you have to go through a lab...

Good luck!
