Can stress or anxiety affect my results?

Yes, stress, fatigue, or anxiety can have a short-term effect on sperm quality and motility. Feeling nervous about the test is completely normal, but our team will do everything possible to put you at ease. We recommend planning your appointment for a calm day, getting enough rest, and avoiding alcohol or excessive caffeine beforehand. If your results are borderline or unexpected, your consultant may suggest repeating the test at a later date to ensure an accurate picture.
