Due to the amount of tests we offer, please be sure to confirm what type of appointment you need to schedule with the ordering physician prior to calling.

• Semen Analysis (including Critical Morphology)
• Sperm Freeze (Cryopreservation)
• Sperm Wash
• Retrograde Ejaculation
• Semen Culture

1. Picture ID is required at the time of drop off for all IUI, ART, and semen freeze patients.
2. In order to collect an optimal specimen, please abstain from ejaculation or intercourse for at least one but not more than two days before the test.
3. The specimen must be collected into a dry sterile container which will be provided by our office. Do not use soaps, lotions, or lubricants (i.e. KY Jelly, saliva, etc.) as they can be toxic to sperm. You may use mineral oil (available at any pharmacy) or other lubricants available at our office.
4. You will be provided with a label for the specimen container in our office that confirms your full name, date of birth, and social security number.
5. The specimen must be delivered to our office within 1 hour of collection. If this is not possible, you may collect in our office. Please notify us when scheduling if this is the case.
6. To avoid temperature extremes, keep the specimen next to your body during transport. Please keep the container upright.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify our office. Lab results are typically available 3-5 business days after receipt of the specimen.

NOTE: If your semen sample shows a potential of infection, a portion of the sample will be sent to another laboratory for a culture analysis. In this case, you will receive an additional bill from that laboratory for the culture analysis.
