Learn more about how your Full Semen Analysis sample makes it back to us!

Fellow developed a way to keep sperm viable through the shipping process, whether you live down the street from our lab or across the country! Your full semen analysis kit includes a vial of preservation solution that is used to stabilize your sample during the shipping process, as well as a gel pack that keeps your sample insulated.

We also cover the cost of expedited return shipping to ensure that your sample finds its way back to our Lab right away!

Finally, we developed an algorithm that accurately models the rate of sperm degradation over time, allowing us to calculate your sample’s metrics as if it were produced in a clinic. Other mail-in semen analyses simply report on the sperm’s quality at the time they receive it—typically 52 hours later—and these results aren’t representative of your actual fertility metrics.
