If you and your partner have not been successful in conceiving after a year (or less depending on age), then one of the first tests that your doctor will order will be a sperm analysis.

We ask that you abstain from intercourse and ejaculation during the first week following your vasectomy. Over the subsequent nine weeks, you will need to have 15-20 ejaculations.

If your store less, be aware that physician-assisted insemination procedures can greatly reduce the amount of sperm cells needed for a successful pregnancy. So a lower than average total count is not an immediate concern. If there are any problems or issues about your specimen, we will contact you and tell you. In the unlikely event your sample is not suitable for storage; we will tell you and encourage you to request a refund.

Washed sperm is supposed to only live for 6-12 hours, but sometimes as long as 24 -- not nearly as long as sperm can live in fertile cervical mucus (sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being pretty common). This is why timing is so important.
