Important reminders
Abstain from ejaculation (both sex and masturbation) for 2–5 days prior to collecting your sample.
The red padlock security seal included with your kit demonstrates to the lab that the vault has not been opened or tampered with..
Do not open or remove this padlock after it’s closed. For your security, if the padlock is not present, your kit cannot be processed at our lab.
Your sample should be shipped back the same day you produce it.
When you’re ready to produce your sample, start with the kit registration process to schedule a carrier pickup or plan for drop-off at a carrier location.
To expedite your order to meet your medical procedure date, please reach out to clientservices@givelegacy.com.
As time is of the essence, please note that there are several scenarios in which our lab can not proceed with an analysis or freezing. Keep reading to avoid common errors that may cause delays.
DO NOT:
1. Remove or open the red padlock seal once it’s applied.
2. Use lube or saliva to produce your sample, as it will contaminate your semen and affect sperm quality.
3. Refrigerate your sample before shipping it back.
We use the fastest and most reliable carriers in the industry to ship your kit and sample: UPS and FedEx. But even with the fastest services available, sometimes delays can occur. Our team will do everything possible to ensure a smooth and speedy experience. If any delays occur, we will make it right.
We’ll send you a new, complimentary kit if:
1. Shipment to the lab takes over 48 hours due to carrier error.
2. Your sample leaks in transit.

Start by registering your kit. Scan the QR code on the inner flap of the shipping box with your smartphone camera and tap the URL, or log in to your client dashboard.

Watch the demo video and carefully read the instructions, to ensure you understand the process before you begin.

Produce your semen sample by masturbating to ejaculation into the empty cup. Do not use lubricants or external aids, such as saliva.
