Can I produce my sample at home?
Sample production can be done at home if you live within 1 hour of your clinic. It is
important that samples must be kept at body temperature during transportation and this
can be done by keeping it in your pockets or close to your chest.
We have had a miscarriage. Can the test help us?
Yes. We, along with other leading groups, have just reviewed all the scientific studies and
found that sperm DNA damage is closely linked to miscarriage
(Robinson 2012). This test
may give you a reason for this sad happening and new choices to have your much longed for
family.
My husband has had chemotherapy. Will the test help him?
Yes. Chemotherapy is also linked with sperm DNA damage that decreases with time. You
may want to know if your husband’s sperm are back to normal before you try for a family.
What happens after I get my results?
Lifestyle changes such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, recreational drugs and
unhealthy diets can all contribute to fertility problems. When you receive your results you
will be advised on what your percentage damage means and how changes can be made to
your lifestyle and fertility treatments in order to improve your chances of conceiving.
