Tim* previously underwent cancer treatment and wasn’t sure if his fertility was affected by chemotherapy.
His semen analysis indicated that he had low sperm concentration and total motile count.
However, Path SpermQT results showed Tim had an excellent sperm quality profile. Knowing this, he and his partner decided with their providers that they would try to conceive naturally.
Three months later, they were pregnant.
Without the information provided by Path QT about Tim’s sperm quality, this couple likely would have been directed to start medication or even to consider IUI or IVF considering his situation, but this would have bene unnecessary.

Jesse*, a 38 year old male with normal semen parameters, attempted 6 IUI cycles with his partner. All 6 cycles failed. 6 rounds can cost between $9,000 to $12,000 and take more than a year.
After 15 months, Jesse and his partner consulted their providers and decided to try Path SpermQT.
His results indicated that he had a Poor sperm quality profile. So, even though Jesse’s sperm count, concentration, morphology was within normal range, epigenetic factors made him much less likely to find success through IUI.
If Jesse and his partner had Path SpermQT results earlier, they could have bypassed IUI and tried IVF instead, saving thousands of dollars and precious time.
