Finding answers where standard practices fail
OUR MISSION
At FERTILYSIS we strongly believe that UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY is NOT a diagnosis. We choose "unexplored" over unexplained. Unless you are certain that you have completed your diagnostic investigation, your infertility is still only “unexplored”.
We envision a future where fertility struggles are met with hope, knowledge and understanding that forms the foundation towards an effective plan. To make this happen, we highlight the critical importance of getting real answers. Understanding why previous attempts may not have succeeded or ensuring that everything is as it should be, is not only a key to helping you make well-informed decisions and create an effective plan, but also increasing your chances.
Our mission is to make specialized infertility testing accessible to all individuals and couples around the world struggling in their fertility journey, from the privacy and comfort of their home. By removing barriers and obstacles such as limited access to comprehensive specialized testing, we urge you to pursue answers where standard practices fail, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
