WE GOT YOU.
If you are struggling with infertility and feel you haven’t been getting convincing answers, the Fertilysis Female microbiome is our 1st go-to test for unexplained infertility. It allows easy and early detection, diagnosis & treatment of Endometritis, Vaginitis & microbiome dysbiosis, all of which have been strongly associated with female reproductive system pathologies & infertility, RIF, RPL, chemical pregnancies and serious complications of the 2nd & 3rd trimesters.
The Role of a Healthy Baby-friendly Microbiome
A healthy pregnancy requires maintaining a "baby-friendly" uterine environment, achieved through an ideal microbiome dominated by beneficial Lactobacilli. These friendly normal bacteria act as guardians, fortifying the endometrial barrier, altering pH to prevent pathogens, and stimulating antimicrobial peptide production. They also preserve tight junction integrity, promote mucus production, and regulate essential processes like inflammation and hormone production.
A healthy microbiome contributes to immune system regulation, facilitating a transition towards an anti-inflammatory, baby-friendly environment that supports pregnancy.
The Abnormal (Dysbiotic) Microbiome
This silent condition involves persistent uterine inflammation due to bacterial pathogens and an abnormal Endometrial microbiome. It is extremely common to go completely without symptoms and for this reason, CE often remains underdiagnosed. It can make successful implantation challenging or even impossible, leading to implantation failure, chemical pregnancies, and recurrent miscarriage.
Some uterine infections may even be directly toxic for the embryo or cause infections of the fetus and chorioamnionitis during later stages of pregnancy, with very serious, often devastative complications.
Microbiome & Chronic endometritis (CE)
This silent condition involves persistent uterine inflammation due to bacterial pathogens and an abnormal Endometrial microbiome. It is extremely common to go completely without symptoms and for this reason, CE often remains underdiagnosed. It can make successful implantation challenging or even impossible, leading to implantation failure, chemical pregnancies, and recurrent miscarriage. Some uterine infections may even be directly toxic for the embryo or cause infections of the fetus and chorioamnionitis during later stages of pregnancy, with very serious, often devastative complications.
Microbiome & Dysregulation of Immunity
Α Dysbiotic uterus may cause a transition from an immunologically baby-friendly anti-inflammatory environment, towards a toxic, proinflammatory environment which can be hostile to the embryo, promoting the Th1 response. This dysregulation is characterized by production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), TNF-α and interleukin-2 (IL-2) and induces activation and proliferation of cytotoxic T cells and macrophages. Typically involved in defense against viral infections, intracellular bacteria, and tumors, a dysregulation of Th1 responses can contribute to autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation and immunologically-mediated pregnancy loss.
Consider Fertilysis Female Microbiome test:
If you experience primary or secondary infertility, naturally or through IVF with:
When experiencing symptoms such as:
When you have been diagnosed with:
And proactively when:
The Fertilysis Microbiome test aims to thoroughly analyze the uterine and vaginal microbiomes, identify any imbalances or dysbiosis, and intervene therapeutically. This involves eliminating pathogenic infections, restoring optimal levels of Lactobacilli, and promoting a healthy microbiota to ensure a favorable environment for pregnancy.
Once we have your results, we will take into consideration the combined data from both your uterine and vaginal microbiomes and assess their clinical significance in order to provide you with a diagnosis and its clinical significance level.

Is your infertility really ‘’unexplained’’ or are you still undiagnosed?If you have been struggling with infertility and haven’t been getting convincing answers, chances are you are still missing a piece of the puzzle.
Did you receive treatment? Retest to confirm.
Retesting is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of your treatment and making necessary adjustments. It allows us to determine if the treatment was effective or needs to be repeated, preventing recurring infections. Through careful reevaluation, we ensure that your personalized treatment plan remains effective. Additionally, it helps to identify any microbiome imbalances that may have arisen post-treatment. Consequently, it is recommended that the retesting occurs no later than 1 – 2 months following completion of treatment, and, in any case, it should take place no longer than 6 months from the initial test.

Sure, you can use a menstrual cup to collect your sample; however, remember not to leave the cup for more than 1-2 hours, as there may be a risk of sample contamination.
There are 2 differences between our Full and our Vaginal microbiome panels. The full version of our Female Microbiome panel, investigates both uterine and vaginal microbiomes, providing a full view on the female microbiome status and not “half the story” if we only tested the uterine or the vaginal one. It allows easy and early detection, diagnosis & treatment of Endometritis, Vaginitis, Bacterial Vaginosis & Microbiome Dysbiosis, all of which have been strongly associated with female reproductive system pathologies & infertility, RIF, RPL, chemical pregnancies and serious complications of the 2nd & 3rd trimesters. It detects 27 pathogens (STIs, fungi & normal microflora) and includes an extended virus panel detecting CMV, EBV, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HHV-6. The vaginal version of our Fertilysis microbiome focuses on the assessment of vaginal microbiome only, through vaginal swabs. It allows detection, diagnosis & treatment of Vaginitis, Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) & Vaginal Dysbiosis. While these conditions along with lower genital tract inflammation have links to infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy complications, this test solely focuses on the vaginal microbiome. We reserve this panel for women with symptoms such as abnormal discharge, odor, genital itching, discomfort during urination or sex, or a history of recurrent vaginitis, BV, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It includes basic STI/opportunistic infection testing, fungi & normal microflora and a simple herpes virus infection testing (HSV-1 & HSV-2).
Absolutely! Our tests are accessible worldwide, allowing you to conveniently perform them from the comfort of your home, regardless of your location. We ship worldwide!
