What can I expect from the results?
You get peace of mind, or life changing information.
Most people get peace of mind.
Most people find out they are healthy carriers of at least one condition. However, most genetic conditions can only be passed on to your child if you and your partner are carriers of the same condition.
The good thing is, most couples who have this test find out that they are not carriers of the same condition. Knowing this in advance can give you confidence, reassurance and peace of mind that you have significantly reduced your risk of having a child born with one of these conditions.
Others get life changing information.
Some couples find out that they are carriers of the same condition. For these couples, there’s a 25% (1 in 4) chance that they could have a child that is affected by the condition.
This can be overwhelming, but honestly, it’s really important to know. Knowing your risk can help you make empowered choices about how you plan your pregnancy, or even significantly reduce the risk of having a child affected by the condition.
What our community is saying
Jasmine
"From the moment I reached out for a genetic screening for my partner and I, Eugene ensured that the entire process was smooth and easy to navigate. As someone who lives in a remote area, accessing such services can be challenging, but Eugene made it effortless through their excellent online communication platform."
Aliza
“Carrier screening is so simple Eugene sends you a testing kit, you & your partner do a saliva sample, and sent it back. The DNA from saliva is analysed. You then meet with a genetic counsellor who runs through both of your results, what it means if there are any risks and the next steps.”
Sarah
Very easy to use. From shipping straight to my door, saliva sample & prepaid return shipping, the longest part was waiting for the results (which only took 2-3 weeks). For the peace of mind, I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to fall pregnant. So much so, I just ordered the expanded carrier screening kit.

"From ordering to the genetic counselling itself, 10/10! Everyone in the Eugene team is lovely, knowledgeable, and genuinely wants to make the experience a great one. It’s still wild to me that such a simple test can tell us so much, go science!"
Millie
"The testing process is quick; it takes 3-6 weeks from the day they receive your sample to get the results back and schedule your appointment with a genetic counsellor to learn about your results and have an opportunity to ask any questions.
We did a Eugene test because we knew it would be the quickest way to get some reassurance before planning our next round of IVF and for our future."
Jamie
“Getting the results was an amazing experience as not only did it, give myself and my wife, a great sense of peace , but it was also really helpful to go through it with our OB. I would recommend the service to anyone who’s trying to have children. They really care about your experience and giving you the right information away that you can understand.”

Our honesty policy.
Genetics is only one part of the pregnancy puzzle. Our reproductive tests do not cover all risks associated with pregnancy, so always stick to best practices and guidelines regardless of the result and regularly consult with your obstetrician or GP during your pregnancy.
