Summary
This trial is looking to see if home semen testing is a feasible and useful way to screen for male factor infertility. They will also be looking at the impact that home semen testing has on fertility-related quality of life and whether or not it increases the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 without children, who are starting to try for a baby with their female partner. They should not have tried conceiving for more than 3 months and must be able to use smart devices compatible with the YoSperm test. Men with a history of infertility or certain medical conditions, or women with irregular periods or infertility history cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of home semen testing using YoSperm as an early screening tool for male infertility. It aims to see if this method is user-friendly and whether it can reduce anxiety related to fertility while speeding up diagnosis and treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves home semen testing rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with the intervention being studied.
