SwimCount Sperm Quality Test

SwimCount is a home-testing kit that measures your sperm quality in 30 minutes. It is fast, easy and discreet. SwimCount works by measuring the sperm cells' ability to swim.

SwimCount is the only home test that is able to measure the concentration of progressive motile sperm cells which are the only sperm cells that can make a woman pregnant. SwimCount does not just measure your total count of cells in your sperm but is able to separate the "good and useable/progressive" sperm cells from the rest and thereby is able to give you an accurate answer to your fertility potential.

Other male fertility tests only measure sperm count, which is not an accurate way of assessing fertility. SwimCount both counts sperm and measures their ability to swim (sperm motility); a key factor in whether they are able to reach and fertilise an egg.

It works by using two chambers Ð only motile sperm can move from the first chamber to the second. Once they reach the second chamber they are stained with a dye, so the more sperm there are in the chamber the darker blue the result window becomes. This makes it really easy to see at a glance what your fertility level is Ð dark blue means you have a high chance of conceiving in the next year while light blue indicates that you would benefit from seeing a doctor for help and advice.
