Semen Production Form
Semen samples must be collected by masturbation into a sterile, 4.5 ounce, screw-cap, wide-mouthed specimen
container. This can be obtained from Island Fertility or any pharmacy. Samples must be collected using masturbation
unless you have already obtained a semen collection device with instructions from our office. Intercourse without a semen
collection device is prohibited. Condoms should not be used to collect the sample, as they are usually spermicidal
