Sperm is half the equation.
Testing from home gives you the power of data in your hands (literally). Start here for more information on sperm testing and improving sperm quality to help you grow your family.

have difficulty with fertility.
And about 50% of infertility involves the male factor (AKA, your sperm health).
“The whole experience has been awesome. My wife and I are later in age and finally want to try and have a child. The Legacy team are true to their word. Got my kit, followed the easy instructions, sent it off, and like clockwork got my results the next day. Quick, fast and easy! I'm so confident that we will conceive, thanks to Legacy.”
“If it hadn’t been for the ability for my husband to collect his sample at home, I would have never had the option to carry and raise the child of the love of my life.”
“I was starting TRT and realized that I should freeze my sperm in case my fertility doesn’t come back. I collected my sample from home had my results back the next day.”
Legacy offers a variety of testing & freezing packages, for wherever you are in your journey.
Curious about your overall health?
Sperm can not only tell you about your ability to have children, but also if you’re at risk of other health issues like diabetes or heart disease. Order this kit to discover more about your overall health and sexual health.

Frequently asked questions
It's a good idea to test your sperm before you start trying to conceive — although anytime is a good time. Our standard semen analysis tests for the main parameters of sperm health (count, concentration, motility, morphology, and semen volume). Sperm testing can identify factors that may make conception difficult, and can reduce the time to pregnancy.
If you are over 35, planning IUI or IVF, or have a history of pregnancy loss, we recommend semen analysis plus sperm DNA fragmentation, a test that measures percentage of sperm that contain damaged DNA.
Once your kit arrives at the lab, your sample will be opened and labeled. The lab scientists will replenish the sperm transport media to ensure the health of the sperm is maintained during analysis.
Next, the sample will be spun in a piece of lab equipment called a centrifuge to separate the sperm from the semen. Once sperm is concentrated, the lab scientists load a slide containing a portion of the sample into the computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) system. This will report on sperm count, concentration, and motility (the percentage of sperm that are moving or "swimming"). Sperm morphology, the size and shape of sperm, is evaluated manually by an andrology scientist with a high-powered microscope.
If you choose to complete sperm DNA fragmentation analysis, that's performed using the Halosperm sperm chromatin dispersion technique. In this technique, a small portion of your sample is exposed to chemicals that denature, or separate, the strands of DNA in your sperm. This allows the lab scientists to assess which sperm contain broken or damaged DNA that could contribute to issues getting or staying pregnant.
Legacy’s at-home sperm analysis is a clinic-grade semen analysis without the clinic. It looks at all the key metrics of sperm health, including semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, total motile sperm count, sperm morphology, and sperm DNA fragmentation.
Many at-home sperm testing options don’t look at sperm motility, morphology, or DNA fragmentation, which are important parameters. We’re also the only at-home sperm freezing option that includes a post-thaw analysis, in which we freeze and thaw a small portion of your sample to assess if it’s a good candidate for cryopreservation (sperm freezing).
A sperm DNA fragmentation test analyzes what percentage of your sperm have damaged DNA. This damage can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and poor health outcomes for your future children.
Together with a semen analysis, sperm DNA fragmentation testing provides a more complete picture of your reproductive health and your chances of conception. To learn more, check out our guide to sperm DNA fragmentation.
No, we can assess sperm DNA fragmentation as part of the same kit that tests for the five basic parameters of sperm health (count, concentration, motility, morphology, and volume).
Please note: DNA fragmentation analysis can only be done in conjunction with a standard semen analysis.
The Legacy kit includes:
- The Legacy “vault,” an insulated zippered container that maintains a stable temperature during transportation.
- A sterile sample cup to easily collect your sample from home.
- The sperm transport liquid — a vial of pink fluid — to keep your sample viable during shipping.
- A security padlock to seal the vault + a strip of tamper-proof tape for extra security.
- Free overnight shipping to send your sample to our lab for analysis.
- Access to Legacy’s client dashboard, where you’ll be able to see your results, where your sample is frozen, and more.
Legacy’s semen analysis kit has been clinically validated. Our research team has compared the results of our kit to a conventional, in-person semen analysis and found no significant difference. There is likely to be a slight decline in sperm motility when using mail-in kits because of time spent in transit.
Legacy’s kit includes a sperm transport liquid that, when mixed with your semen sample, keeps sperm alive and healthy during shipment to our lab for testing.
From prep to results, it can take less than a week. As soon as you order your kit, it will be express shipped to you. You should abstain from ejaculating for 2–5 days before using the kit. You should collect and return your sample on the same day, between Monday and Thursday. Each kit includes free overnight shipping back to our lab.Your results will be available in your online dashboard within 48 hours of our lab receiving your sample. If you choose sperm freezing, your sample will be frozen immediately.
Yes, you can use frozen sperm for intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). If you’re doing a fertility treatment cycle, having a healthy frozen sperm sample on hand can be an important back-up plan.
