SEMEN PRODUCTION
Your semen sample MUST be produced at home. It MUST arrive at the laboratory within 60
minutes of production and be kept at body temperature in transit.
The semen sample should be collected by masturbation making sure ALL the fluid is collected
into the sterile container you have been provided. If any of the sample is lost please note this
on your form or on the sample container.
Your semen sample must be collected under conditions of cleanliness. We therefore ask that
you wash your penis thoroughly with water before producing the specimen.
We strongly recommend a 2-3 day period of sexual abstinence prior to producing any
specimen for analysis. This will make sure that we are provided with the best quality sample
possible. It is not advisable to abstain for any longer than 7 days as this may reduce the
quality of your semen sample.
1) Label your specimen pot clearly with your name and date of birth.
2) Fill in the form completely. It is essential that the shaded area is completed.
3) Return your sample as directed, at your appointment time. Samples arriving late will
not be processed.
