I ran two fertility tests six days apart and got one positive and one negative result. Why do I need to wait 10 weeks to repeat the test (see Interpreting Results)?
Since waves of sperm are produced every 70 days, waiting 10 weeks allows time for a new batch of sperm to be produced before retesting. Sperm production is influenced by physical, emotional and psychological factors, such as the concentration of hormones in the blood, stress, high fever, exercise, traveling, surgery, medication, and changes in diet. These factors may result in a decreased sperm concentration. By waiting 10 weeks, you will testing a new batch of sperm sample and reduce the chance that the results of both fertility test series are affected by these factors.
