Important information
Important information
- Store the preservative for the at-home sperm test in the freezer on arrival.
- Keep all the packaging for returning your samples to the lab.
1. Collect your sample at home
Collect both samples at home, in private. Add the included preservative to your sperm sample to keep it stable, and take your hormone sample using the arm draw kit provided.
2. Send them back
Post both kits back using the prepaid packaging provided. Your sperm sample travels in temperature controlled packaging to protect it in transit, and each kit goes to its specialist lab.
3. Lab analysis
Your samples are analysed by registered specialists at trusted UK labs, so your results are accurate and clinically sound.
4. Consultation
Once both results are ready, talk them through over a video consultation with an NMC registered (Nursing and Midwifery Council) fertility practitioner, with clear next steps.
5. Get your reports
Receive two comprehensive fertility reports covering both your sperm analysis and hormone profile, written 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 gives you a clear, accurate picture you can act on, with expert guidance to take the next steps with confidence. These tests are offered in line with national guidance.
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, easy to read written report, designed to be understood without a medical degree.
Key metrics from sperm sample
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.
Key metrics from blood sample
DHEA sulphate
DHEA sulphate
A hormone made by the adrenal glands that supports testosterone production and overall hormone balance.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
A hormone from the brain that tells the testicles to make sperm. It helps us understand how well sperm production is working.
LH (Luteinising Hormone)
LH (Luteinising Hormone)
Another brain hormone that tells the testicles to produce testosterone.
Oestradiol (E2)
Oestradiol (E2)
A form of oestrogen. Men need small amounts, but higher levels can interfere with testosterone, libido, and fertility.
Total Testosterone
Total Testosterone
The main male hormone, important for sex drive, energy levels, mood, muscle strength, and sperm production.
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
The amount of testosterone your body can actually use. This often explains symptoms better than total testosterone alone.
Prolactin
Prolactin
A hormone that can affect testosterone levels. If it’s high, it may impact sex drive and fertility.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to testosterone. If SHBG is high, less testosterone is available for your body to use; if it’s low, more is available.

Frequentally asked questions
What does the male hormone profile actually test?
What does the male hormone profile actually test?
Alongside a full semen analysis, this test measures eight hormones from a small blood sample: total testosterone, free testosterone, FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG and DHEA sulphate. These hormones drive how sperm are produced, so reading them together gives a fuller picture than sperm alone.
How is this different from the standard at-home sperm test?

The £240 test is a semen analysis on its own. This one adds the eight-hormone blood profile, making it the more complete option. If you and your partner have been trying for 12 months or more, NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidance points towards this fuller investigation.
Is the sperm and hormone test right for me?

At-Home Sperm Test with Consultation
A Malebox at-home sperm test gives you a clear, clinical-grade picture of your sperm health, without a GP referral, a clinic visit, or a long wait. You collect your sample in private at home, send it to our accredited partner lab, and have your results explained by an expert fertility practitioner on a video call. It is the simplest way for men in the UK to understand where they stand.
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 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. Temperature-controlled packaging is unique to Malebox Health and matters more than most people realise, because a sample that gets too warm or too cold in transit can read lower than it truly is. Once it reaches the lab, you have your results within 24 hours.
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 a video consultation with an NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registered fertility practitioner, who walks you through what each number means and what your options are. You also receive a written fertility report designed to be understood without a medical degree.
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, and the expert guidance to take the next steps with confidence.
