Q: Why should I test with YO?

Q: What does the YO Home Sperm Test analyze?
A: The YO Home Sperm Test analyzes your Motile Sperm Concentration (how many are moving) and Sperm Quality (YO Score) and compares your results to laboratory standards and to other men who have fathered children. You will also receive a video recording of your sample as part of the YO Test.

Q: What is Motile Sperm Concentration?

Q: What is YO Score?
A: YO Score is a ranking of your Motile Sperm Concentration (MSC) compared to other men who have fathered children. The result is 10 to 90 in intervals of 10. If your score is 20, you rank above 20% of fathers. If your score is 90, you rank above 90% of fathers.
