Evvy Unveils Innovative Vaginal Microbiome Test for Fertility Insights

2025-03-21 prevention

United States, Friday, 21 March 2025.
Evvy launches a first-of-its-kind test revealing fertility insights by analyzing the vaginal microbiome, crucially addressing an often neglected aspect of reproductive health, effective since March 18, 2025.

Groundbreaking Technology and Market Positioning

The newly launched test represents the first validated, at-home metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) vaginal microbiome test available in the market [1]. Priced at $129 and available across all 50 states, the test analyzes over 700 different bacteria and fungi species [2][3]. This comprehensive analysis is particularly significant given that one-third of all infertility cases are currently classified as ‘unexplained’ [4].

Scientific Foundation and Key Features

The test evaluates three crucial metrics for fertility assessment: a Protective Score measuring beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria levels, a Microbiome Diversity Score, and identification of Fertility Disruptors including specific bacteria such as Fannyhessea, Gardnerella, and Prevotella [5]. Research has demonstrated that a microbiome dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus is associated with improved fertility outcomes and successful implantation [6]. Women facing infertility are 3.3 times more likely to have bacterial vaginosis than those who aren’t [7], highlighting the importance of microbiome testing in fertility assessment.

Comprehensive Support and Future Developments

The service includes customized treatment plans and coaching sessions to help users optimize their vaginal microbiome health [8]. For enhanced screening, an expanded PCR panel offers testing for multiple STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, Mycoplasma genitalium, and trichomoniasis [9]. A validation study demonstrating the platform’s effectiveness in improving vaginal microbiome health is currently under review [alert! ‘publication pending peer review’] [10].
