This is an excellent product. A very thorough process that’s well explained and easy enough to use at home. Suited my busy lifestyle and allowed me the freedom to do this in my own time.

Why don't guys think of this?? I never really thought about my fertility, my wife and I are thinking about kids, so we track her fertility but never even thought about mine. After a quick Google I found Malebox, 100% worth every penny. The process was really easy and the consultation was great to go through all my results. Would recommend to a friend.
Who it is for
This test suits men who want to proactively understand their fertility health, whether you are planning ahead before trying for a baby, or simply want a clear baseline. If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more, our Home Sperm Test and Male Hormone Profile follows NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidance by adding a full hormone panel. An at-home sperm test is a starting point, not a diagnosis, and results can vary between samples. What it gives you is a clear, accurate number you can act on, in a report designed to be understood without a medical degree. And if you would like expert guidance once you have read your report, you can add a video consultation with an NMC registered fertility practitioner at any time.
What an at-home sperm test measures
Your sample is analysed as a full semen analysis, the same assessment used in NHS and private fertility clinics. It covers nine key markers: semen volume, total count, concentration, progressive motility, non-progressive motility, total motility, immotile sperm, vitality, and morphology. Every result is compared against World Health Organisation (WHO) reference ranges, so you get a proper benchmark rather than a vague indicator.
How the at-home sperm test kit works
Order before 4pm on a weekday and your kit arrives the next day. You produce your sample at home, package it using the temperature-controlled kit, and drop it at your local Royal Mail post office. The kit includes a preservative that helps maintain the integrity of your sample in transit, and the temperature-controlled packaging, which is unique to Malebox, keeps it stable and stops it getting too hot or too cold. When your sample reaches the lab, detailed ageing models are applied to account for the time and conditions of transport, so your results reflect your true sperm health rather than the journey it took. You then have your results within 24 hours of your sample arriving.
Clinical-grade accuracy, explained clearly
Every sample is analysed by an andrologist who is HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered, following WHO guidelines. Your results are then delivered in an easy to read written fertility report, with interpretation notes from an NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registered fertility practitioner, designed to be understood without a medical degree. If you would like to talk your results through, you can add a video consultation with a fertility practitioner after your report arrives.
Key male fertility metrics measured
Semen volume
Semen volume
Semen volume refers to the total volume of your sample, before you added the preservative. A clinical threshold of 1.4ml is often referred to as ‘sufficient’.
Total count
Total count
This indicates the number of sperm present in the sample. Total count is the total number of sperm.
Concentration
Concentration
Concentration is the number of sperm per milliliter.
Progressive motility
Progressive motility
Progressive motility is the percentage of sperm swimming forwards in a straight line. The clinical threshold for this is 30%.
Non-progressive motility
Non-progressive motility
Non-progressive motility is the proportion of sperm that are moving but not forward and straight, i.e. they may be going backwards or in a circle or just wiggling on the spot.
Total motility
Total motility
Total motility is the combination of progressive and non-progressive sperm.
Immotile sperm
Immotile sperm
Immotile sperm is the proportion of sperm that are not moving at all.
Vitality
Vitality
Vitality measures the proportion of sperm cells that are alive. It assesses whether the sperm membrane is intact and hence whether it is a viable sperm. Vitality focuses on viability, indicating the ability of the sperm to fertilise an egg.
Morphology
Morphology
Morphology measurement assesses the shape of the sperm, this includes the head, mid-piece and tail. A normal form requires all parts of the sperm to be normal in appearance. It is very common to have a very low percentage of normal forms within your sample.
Easy-to-read semen analysis report
Your Malebox report breaks down the parameters of your semen analysis - volume, concentration, motility, morphology and more - with each result compared against WHO reference ranges. It's designed to be understood without a medical degree, so you're never left wondering what it means for you.
Removing barriers to testing
We make it easier for men to take control of their fertility health without the stress or inconvenience of clinic visits. Our discreet, at-home semen analysis kit fits around your schedule, with a simple process and clear instructions to guide you every step of the way.
Once your sample is returned, our accredited lab provides fast, reliable results. These are delivered via a video consultation by a fertility expert along with straightforward insights, so you can better understand your fertility health and take the next steps with confidence.

At-Home Sperm Test & Male Hormone Profile with Consultation
The Malebox at-home male fertility test gives you the fullest picture of your fertility from home, combining a complete semen analysis with a male hormone profile. It is designed for couples who have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more, in line with NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidance that both partners be investigated. You collect your samples in private at home, send them to our accredited partner lab, and have everything explained by a fertility nurse on a video call.
What this male fertility test measures
This test goes further than a standard sperm test. The semen analysis covers nine key markers: semen volume, total count, concentration, progressive motility, non-progressive motility, total motility, immotile sperm, vitality, and morphology, all compared against World Health Organisation (WHO) reference ranges. The male hormone profile then measures eight hormones from a blood sample: total testosterone, free testosterone (calculated), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), and DHEA sulphate. Together these show how well your body is signalling and supporting sperm production, giving you and your clinician context that a semen analysis alone cannot.
How the kits work
Your order arrives as two separate kits: one for your sperm sample and one for your blood sample. Order before 4pm on a weekday and your kits arrive the next day. You collect your sperm sample at home and package it using the temperature-controlled kit, which is unique to Malebox and helps keep the sample stable in transit. Once both samples reach the lab, your results are brought together and delivered in a single video consultation.
Clinical-grade accuracy, explained clearly
Your samples are analysed by an andrologist who is HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered, following WHO guidelines. Your combined results are then delivered in a video consultation with an NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registered fertility practitioner, who explains what each result means and what your options are. You also receive a clear written report, designed to be understood without a medical degree.
Who it is for
This is the right test if you and your partner have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more, or if you simply want the most complete view of your fertility health in one go. Because hormones play a central role in how sperm are produced, pairing the two tests can reveal context a sperm test on its own would miss. It is a starting point, not a diagnosis, but it gives you a clear, accurate picture you can act on, and the expert guidance to take the next steps with confidence.
