The BabyStart Male Infertility Test (FertilMARQ)

The BabyStart Male Infertility Test, also called "FertilMarq," is the world's first reliable, rapid, home screening test for male fertility. The test allows a man to measure his sperm count in the privacy of his own home.

Developed by scientists at Harvard University, this simple home test kit is designed to check whether a man's sperm concentration is above or below the 20 million per mL cut-off recommended by the World Health Organisation. The kit has US FDA approval for use in doctors offices and clinics.

Positive results with FertilMARQ are good news and provide some assurance of fertility potential. Negative results are not proof of infertility but are used as indicator that further professional evaluation should be sought.
