Trying can be hard

Yes, very. Our sampling method is validated by an independent hospital lab where capillary blood (the small finger-prick) was compared with traditional venous blood tests (taken from the arm) on 60-125 people per hormone.

The results show a correlation of 0.85-0.98 for the most important fertility and sex hormones, which in practice means the sample you take at home gives results comparable to traditional blood tests taken in healthcare.

Your samples are analyzed by ISO 15189-accredited laboratories (accredited via COFRAC) used by doctors and fertility specialists, following the same quality standards used in healthcare for clinical assessment.

Maybe Baby's test is for anyone who wants to understand their fertility better - whether you're curious, planning for the future or just want a better handle on your hormones and your health.

No test can answer with full certainty. But it can help explain common reasons why it's taking time to get pregnant. By analyzing fertility-related hormones, the test can highlight things like ovulation problems, PMOS or thyroid imbalance - and give you clarity and a way forward.

Maybe Baby Egg Check (AMH Test) analyzes just one hormone - AMH - and gives you an indication of your egg quantity.

Maybe Baby Complete (Fertility test) analyzes 12 markers and gives you a complete picture of your hormone profile, including thyroid health, signs of PMOS and more.

In short:
Maybe Baby Egg Check = A quick check of your egg reserve
Maybe Baby Complete = Full hormonal insight

Yes, absolutely! You can take the test even if you use a hormonal IUD, the pill or other hormonal contraception.

Once you've ordered your test you answer a number of questions about your health and any contraception. That information helps us adapt the analysis so you get as relevant and accurate a report as possible.

AMH Test (Maybe Baby Egg Check): AMH can be tested reliably even if you're on hormonal contraception.

Fertility test (Maybe Baby Complete): Hormonal contraception affects the body's own hormone production, so we exclude three specific hormones that could otherwise give misleading results (FSH, LH and prolactin). But you still get answers on 9 of 12 biomarkers that are important for understanding your body and fertility better.

The best time to take your home test is on day 3 of your cycle (day 1 is the first day you bleed). Then your hormones are at their baseline and the results are most reliable. Days 2-5 also work, but day 3 is optimal.

We recommend waiting until your period arrives to get the most out of the test. If your cycle is longer than 45 days you can test any time - the answers can then help identify what's causing the irregularity, so you get the information you deserve sooner.

You can take the test any time. With hormonal contraception we don't test LH, FSH and prolactin (since they're affected by the contraceptive and would give misleading results), but AMH and the other markers can still be analyzed.

When you're trying to conceive it's common to start wondering whether everything is working as it should. Testing your hormones can give more clarity around ovulation, hormone balance and other common factors that can affect fertility, and help you understand whether there's anything worth following up earlier.

It doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, or that you'll have trouble getting pregnant. Some values can sit outside the reference range without affecting fertility, while others may be worth following up.

That's why you don't just get numbers, but a personal report that helps you understand what the results mean for you. If you want to go further, you can also book a digital consultation with a fertility doctor as an add-on.

→ If something stands out, it can give you answers earlier in the process so you avoid going more cycles wondering.

With Maybe Baby Egg Check we analyze AMH - a biomarker that reflects your egg reserve.

With Maybe Baby Complete you get a broader picture with 12 markers covering egg reserve, ovulation, androgens and hormone balance, thyroid and energy.

Since a clinical fertility investigation can include several parts - such as blood tests, sperm tests and ultrasound - our test doesn't replace one. The Maybe Baby home test measures the hormones that are usually the first step in such an investigation.

You get a handle on your hormones at home, at your own pace. And if you want to go further the option is there - both digitally and in person. Via our selected partner clinics you can add, for example, an ultrasound for a complete medical assessment.
