Why wait at least 15 minutes but not longer than 12 hours after adding the semen to the Liquefaction Cup to start the fertility test?
Semen is very thick (gel-like) and normally takes 30 to 60 minutes to thin (liquefy). Using the specially treated Liquefaction Cup provided with the fertility test kit, the semen sample should liquefy within 15 minutes. Waiting up to 12 hours before starting the test is acceptable. Keep the provided lid on the Liquefaction Cup and swirl the contents before beginning the fertility test.
