Fertility test for men
These kits usually have cups where you should put your sperm in. You will also find a dropper in the kit and with the help of this dropper put your sperm in a test cassette. After doing this, you should be patient for 15 minutes and when this time passes, you can add a blue solution in the cassette. After this, you will notice that your sperm changes its color. The color can be blue or light blue and these colors mean different things. When your sperm is colored in blue, you have enough sperm to fertilize the egg. On the other hand, if the color is light blue, you may have problems with low sperm count, and in these cases, you should seek for professional help.
Fertility test for women
When it comes to women, the fertility is determined by the level of FSH or follicle stimulating hormones, which is why the fertility tests for women are made to detect the levels of this hormone. On the third day of your menstruation, take the first urine and put the absorbent tip in the steam of your urine, holding it there for ten seconds minimum. After half an hour, the results will appear, and by the lines that occur, you will be able to see if you are fertile or not. However, if your test shows that your FSH level is too low, you should repeat the test. If you get two negative results, you should seek for medical help. Be sure to perform tests exactly as it is written in the instruction.
