Learn About Fertility from Home
Fellow’s mail-in semen analysis delivers a comprehensive understanding of sperm health—without the awkward lab visit.
Whether you’re having difficulty conceiving or planning for the future, a semen analysis is an important step.
A semen analysis reveals how much sperm you are producing and how healthy it is. In the past, you’d have to wait for an appointment and produce a sample at a lab.
With Fellow, you can produce your sample at home and get your results in your email inbox within two days of when our lab receives your kit.
Using Fellow’s mail-in semen analysis kit is easy.
1. Purchase a kit.
Ask your provider about Fellow. You’ll have a testing kit fast, and it will come with everything you need to ship a sample to our lab.
2. Provide a sample at home.
You’ll use the instructions provided to produce a sample and drop it off at your nearest UPS Store that same day. Overnight shipping is paid for, and the label is already on the box.
3. Get your results.
Fellow’s easy-to-understand report includes all the metrics your provider needs to get a full picture of your sperm health. We’ll email results within two business days of receiving your sample.
For Vasectomies
Though most vasectomies are successful, they are not 100 percent guaranteed. That’s why patients need to use another form of birth control to avoid pregnancy until vasectomy test results show zero sperm in a sample. In some cases, achieving zero sperm takes weeks or months longer than expected, and in rare cases, a second vasectomy is required.
Testing the success of your vasectomy is the only way to know for sure that you are no longer fertile and not able to conceive. The Fellow Vasectomy Kit tests for the presence of sperm in your sample. If no sperm are found, American Urological Association guidelines recommend that you can stop using other forms of contraception.
