Q:

What does Evvy test for?

A:

700+ bacteria and fungi

Evvy's vaginal microbiome test screens for all bacteria and fungi that have been found in the vaginal and urinary microbiomes — with one swab.

Unlike other tests (even at the doctor’s office) that only screen for a short list of microbes, Evvy uses metagenomics—an advanced method that sequences everything present. It's the first and only test of its kind that is peer-reviewed and CLIA, CAP, and CLEP validated.
‍
That means you don’t have to order several tests to know what’s up down there — just one.

Want STI or PCR results too? Add our Expanded PCR Panel to also screen for 4 common STIs, 10 antibiotic resistances, and microbial load for 11 key microbes. (Note that Evvy doesn’t test for STIs unless you choose this add-on.)

ORDER YOUR TEST

We test for all disruptive and protective microbes that research has shown are related to...

Aerobic Vaginitis (AV)
e.g. E.coli, Group B streptococci
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
e.g. Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Prevotella bivia
Cytolytic Vaginosis (CV)
e.g. Lactobacillus crispatus
Fertility
e.g. Microbiome Diversity Score, Fertility Disruptors
STIs*
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich, Mycoplasma genitalium. *Only with our Expanded PCR Panel.

Good Health
e.g. Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri
Recurrent UTIs
e.g. E. coli, Staphylococcus, Aerococcus
Yeast Infections
e.g. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata
Mycoplasma / Ureaplasma
e.g. Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum

And hundreds more!

Curious what Evvy test results actually look like? Here’s a sample report:

01 --> At A Glance

The first results you’ll receive are your overall health scores, which give a sense of how well-protected your microbiome is.

Your report also includes an interactive visualization of your microbiome, broken down by protective, disruptive, neutral, and unknown microbes.

02 --> Vaginal Microbiome Type

Next, you’ll get your Community State Type (CST), based on your full microbiome. There are at least 5 CSTs that research has associated with outcomes like infections or fertility.

03 --> Detailed Results

Evvy’s detailed results reveal all bacteria and fungi and their relative amounts.

Note: These bacteria are NOT an exhaustive list of what we test for — just what was present in this particular sample.

We provide an in-depth description of what it is, what it does, and what symptoms it might be associated with.

We also enable you to filter your list of microbes by the conditions they’ve been associated with in existing research.

04 --> Fertility Insights

Each Evvy test includes an analysis of how your vaginal microbiome may impact your fertility.

We look at four Microbiome Markers linked to fertility outcomes—helping you take proactive steps to support conception

With each Evvy test, you’ll see an analysis of how your vaginal microbiome may impact fertility outcomes.

This section looks at four Microbiome Markers associated with fertility outcomes to help you proactively improve your microbiome health for conception and fertility treatments, like IUI and IVF.

Each Microbiome Marker includes an overview of the research linking it to fertility outcomes to give you more insight into how this piece connects to the larger fertility puzzle.

Each Microbiome Marker comes with a breakdown of the scientific research behind it.

05 --> Trends and Insights (Evvy Members only)

The final part of your comprehensive results is the Trends & Insights section, which gives you a detailed comparison of your previous results and symptoms.

An Evvy Success Story

“I have not had BV come back, I have been UTI free and have not seen a hint of a yeast infection for over a year now.
‍
If I do see any sign of these conditions creep up again, I am not paralyzed by anxiety. I feel empowered to take care of myself and I don't feel alone in that journey.”

— Abigail M.
