The Best Fertility Tests for Couples at Home: How to Check Fertility for Men and Women
Share
Overview
At-home fertility testing is now one of the simplest, most private ways for couples to start their conception journey. By testing together, you can build a clear picture of both partners’ fertility health before visiting a clinic—reducing stress, saving time, and making every month feel more confident and controlled.
This guide explains the best fertility tests for couples at home and shows how to check fertility for men and women at home with three proven kits: the SP-10 Male Fertility Test, LH Ovulation Test, and HCG Pregnancy Test. Use them individually—or together via our Couples Fertility Bundle—to turn a single cycle into clear, actionable insight.
Why Couples Should Test Together
Fertility is shared—male factors contribute to around 40–50% of infertility cases. Testing together keeps both partners informed and engaged, and gives a complete view: sperm concentration for him (SP-10), ovulation timing for her (LH), and early confirmation for both (HCG). It’s a calm, structured first step that often answers key questions without immediate clinic appointments.
The Three Core At-Home Fertility Tests
SP-10: Male Fertility Test
What it measures: A sperm-specific protein (SP-10) that correlates with sperm concentration—an important marker of male fertility potential. Results in about 15 minutes: two lines indicate a normal (fertile-range) concentration; one line suggests the level may be below the fertile threshold.

LH: Ovulation Test (Female)
What it measures: The luteinising hormone surge that happens 24–36 hours before ovulation. Daily testing around mid-cycle helps pinpoint the most fertile days so you can time intercourse with precision.
HCG: Pregnancy Test
What it measures: Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the pregnancy hormone released after implantation. From the first missed period, the test confirms success with over 99% accuracy.
When to Use Each Test: A Simple Plan for Couples
Week 1: He takes the SP-10 test to establish a baseline. If needed, plan lifestyle tweaks and retest in 8–12 weeks.
Week 2–3: She starts daily LH testing around mid-cycle to catch the surge; plan intercourse the day of the surge and the following 24–36 hours.
Week 4: If the period doesn’t arrive, take an HCG test using first-morning urine. If negative but still no period, retest after 48 hours.
Repeat monthly until you confirm pregnancy or decide to speak to a GP or fertility specialist for tailored guidance.

FAQs
Can couples test fertility at home accurately?
Yes—SP-10, LH, and HCG are clinically validated for home use and provide a complete view when combined.
Do we need all three tests?
Not always, but using all three answers the full set of questions: male baseline (SP-10), ovulation timing (LH), and early confirmation (HCG).
How long should we try before seeking help?
Many couples try timed cycles for 6–12 months. If conception hasn’t happened—or if SP-10 remains low or cycles are irregular—speak to your GP or a fertility specialist.
