Questions

01 Why should I take the test?

You can decide in consultation with your doctor whether you want to take the test. The test is very simple, has no side effects, and the results are available relatively quickly. It gives you insight into the likelihood that an embryo transfer will result in a pregnancy. The test result is valid for the next two months. The test acts as a “timing tool”: you can base your decision about whether to proceed with an embryo transfer at that time on the test result. Treatment is often postponed until a later date when the score is low. Please note: All decisions are entirely yours.

02 How much does the test cost, and is it covered?

At the moment, patients have to pay for the test themselves. Of course, reimbursement by health insurers is an ongoing development. So always check with your doctor or insurer to see whether the test may be reimbursed for you.

The test costs €399 (including VAT) in the online store. If you get the test through your clinic, the cost may vary depending on any additional consultation fees. Ask your clinic for the exact price.

03 Where can I get the test?

You can check here to see where the test is available.

04 How exactly does the test (and sample collection) work?

The test is packaged in a small box, which you receive from your doctor or order yourself through the webshop. It contains a long cotton swab and a tube of liquid (buffer). You take the vaginal swab yourself. This means using the cotton swab to collect some vaginal mucus. Clear instructions are included. You then place the cotton swab (swab) in the tube of liquid.

If you received the test from your doctor, return it to them. They will ensure it is sent to the laboratory correctly for analysis.
For a home test, follow the instructions to send the collected sample back to the lab, and you can request the results yourself. Take the results to your doctor.

05 Can I take the test myself before contacting a doctor?

Because you can also order the test for home collection, this is possible. However, it is important to discuss ordering the test and when to take it with your doctor first. The test results may affect the choices you make during your fertility treatment. The test results are valid for a limited time only (a maximum of two months).

06 Are there any side effects from the test?

No, only a small amount of vaginal mucus is collected from you and analyzed.

07 Why do I collect the sample myself?

Collecting vaginal mucus is very straightforward with the cotton swab. The cotton swab is suitable for self-collection. The advanced processing and analyses are carried out in the laboratory.

08 How long will it take to get my results?

The results will be sent to your doctor after about a week. If you take the test at home, you can request the results yourself after about a week.

09 Does it make sense to take the test again later?

The test result is validated for two months from the date the test is taken. Over time, the composition of bacteria can change. So it can certainly be useful to take the test again after some time to see whether the timing is more suitable for an embryo transfer. You can discuss this with your doctor.

10 Is the test anonymous?

Yes, the test is anonymous. This means that the sample collected contains only a unique number. If you received the test through your doctor, your doctor knows that the number belongs to you. The laboratory and ARTPred staff only see the number, and never your personal details.

For a home test, you have the unique number, which you can use to access your results (so make sure you keep this number safe!). In this case too, the laboratory and ARTPred staff only see the number, never your personal details.
