Trying to conceive and still don’t have clear answers?
This is a simple screening step you can do at home to see if HHV‑6A is worth discussing with a licensed clinician.

$200 Infertility Case Study:
Check One Overlooked Factor (HHV‑6A) Using an At‑Home Period Sample

Not a diagnosis. Not medical advice.
Your results are delivered in a secure portal and meant to support discussion with a licensed clinician.

  • Clear result: HHV‑6A detected or not detected (also checks HHV‑6B)

  • Next steps included: a simple summary + doctor‑ready discussion pack

  • Major savings: $795 off (limited to 200 participants)

  • Trade‑off: slower results (up to 30 days) and you provide feedback.

  • Want faster results? Choose the standard option ($995, 7-day turnaround)

US only. Some states require provider authorization (we can help). Shipping + timing details below.

Wait—what is HHV‑6A?

HHV‑6A is a virus commonly found in the uterus of infertile women, but not fertile women.

In infertile women, it's ONLY found in the uterine tissue and NOT in blood or saliva, so standard testing won't find it.

The question this case study is exploring is different:

This study focuses on uterine‑relevant screening, using an at‑home menstrual fluid collection (instead of a biopsy).

Bottom line: this is a way to get clarity—either a direction to discuss, or confidence to focus elsewhere.

What this is (and what it isn't)

What this is:

A limited, confidential case study designed to expand access to screening and publish de‑identified findings that help move this topic toward mainstream awareness.

You get:

  • results in a secure portal
  • a simple explanation of what they mean
  • a next‑steps checklist + doctor discussion pack

What this is not:

  • Not a diagnosis
  • Not a guarantee of pregnancy
  • Not a replacement for medical care
  • Not a DIY treatment program

Why we're running this case study

It’s been nearly 10 years since HHV‑6A was linked to infertility—yet it's not being checked for until women fail multiple rounds of IVF.

We believe:

  • research clearly indicates testing and treatment improves pregnancy success rates
  • women deserve access to simple non-invasive testing

What you'll learn

You'll get practical, plain-language answers such as:

  • Is HHV‑6A detected or not detected?

  • If detected, what does this mean (in plain English)?

  • What are the next steps to discuss with a clinician?

  • If not detected, what does that allow you to rule out and focus elsewhere?

Bonus:

Participants get early access to study findings before public release

Important: Results are intended to support discussion with a licensed clinician.
