Dutch Femtech startup announces the publication of its clinical study with FERTI·LILY in the “Journal of Pregnancy and Newborn Care” (JPNBC)
Amsterdam, Netherlands – April 2021
The FERTI·LILY® Conception Cup is the first hormone-free fertility aid for use at home that has been clinically proven to help couples increase their chances of getting pregnant by 48% within 3 cycles. The JPBNC is an open-access peer-reviewed journal based in the US known for publishing original and scientifically relevant articles for gynecologists and other fertility specialists. The striking results of FERTI·LILY’s clinical study, performed with the support of leading European fertility specialists, were acknowledged by JPBNC for its original content and scientific relevance resulting in this publication.
The FERTI·LILY® Conception Cup
FERTI·LILY empowers couples who are consciously trying to conceive, enabling them to give nature a nudge in the right direction. No hormones, doctors, or invasive procedures required, it is a soft and flexible silicone cup that is inserted vaginally after sex. Pushed close to the cervix and preserved by cervical mucus, the sperm cells survive for longer, meaning more of them enter the uterus to ultimately reach the egg.
The Study
With the support of Dr. Grada van den Dool, Chairwoman of the Association of Fertility Doctors in the Netherlands, and Dr. Maarten Wiegerinck, one of Europe's leading fertility specialists, a prospective study involving 85 women showed that the use of the FERTI·LILY cup for 3 cycles significantly increased pregnancy rates (p<0.05).
The study results showed that by using the conception cup, the chances of getting pregnant are 48% higher than expected when compared to industry standard prognostic models. Results were even better for couples trying to conceive for over a year, who would be considered clinically infertile, (half of the participants) with a 180% more chance of becoming pregnant observed in the study.
