Kit Instructions

PS Detect Semen Analysis Kit

Important! Please Read Carefully

Plan ahead. You will need to ejaculate twice, 2 to 3 days apart. You will only collect the second ejaculation. Do not collect the first ejaculation. Following the first ejaculation abstain – including masturbation and sexual activity – for 2-3 days, before producing your second semen sample for collection and shipping. Ship your sample on the day that you produce and collect the second ejaculation. For example, if you first ejaculate on Friday, abstain until you produce your second sample for shipping on Monday morning.

1st ejaculation: Abstain 2-3 days (2nd ejaculation to produce sample)

If the first ejaculation is on: 

  • Monday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Wednesday or Thursday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Tuesday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Thursday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Wednesday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Monday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Thursday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Monday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Friday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Monday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Saturday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Monday or Tuesday. Collect and ship it on the same day.
  • Sunday: 2nd ejaculation should be on Tuesday or Wednesday. Collect and ship it on the same day.

Find your shipping location:

The day that you produce your sample, drop it off at a UPS store or UPS Access Point for overnight shipping back to our lab before the overnight shipping cutoff time, which is usually in the early afternoon. Please do not use a UPS Drop Box.

When you are ready to produce your best semen sample on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning, please follow these instructions:
