When having my semen analyzed for fertility tests, how long should I abstain from sex beforehand?
Semen analysis in fertility testing is greatly affected by the collection method. Ideally, you should wait for 3 to 5 days after an ejaculation before giving a sample. A sperm sample given less than 3 days after an ejaculation will have a low sperm count and a sperm sample given after 5 days may cause a decrease in sperm motility.
"I want you to know that I am positively thrilled, really, just to know that this kind of email support exists. You are really thorough and you follow up. Do you know how rare that is? Anyway, sooner or later I will try this but in the meantime I am so glad to have the quality support." (Dave G.)
