Femasys Launches FemaSeed® Complete for OB/GYNs at ACOG 2026
Expanding commercialization of first-line fertility treatment in the OB/GYN office to increase patient access
ATLANTA, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a leading biomedical innovator focused on making fertility and non-surgical permanent birth control more accessible and cost-effective for women worldwide, announced today the commercial launch of FemaSeed Complete, a comprehensive fertility solution that enables OB/GYNs to perform first-line insemination entirely within their own practices.
An estimated 10 million women in the United States experience infertility, yet fewer than half access care, and only a very small percentage ultimately undergo IVF. At the same time, U.S. fertility rates declined again in 2025 to a record low, underscoring the growing need for earlier intervention and expanded access to care. While more than 40,000 OB/GYNs are accessible to patients, infertility specialists—fewer than 2,000 nationwide—are typically accessed by referral and concentrated in a declining number of centers, limiting access to treatment. By enabling first-line treatment in the OB/GYN office, FemaSeed Complete is positioned to expand access to care and substantially increase the addressable market.
“Current fertility care delivery is not aligned with where patients seek care, creating a significant opportunity for change,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, CEO and Founder of Femasys. “Our market research shows strong patient interest in accessing fertility care earlier and more cost-effectively within the OB/GYN setting. Through our Femasys fertility portfolio, we are enabling physicians to perform in-office procedures that can expand care, accelerate time to treatment, and give more women the opportunity to achieve pregnancy.”
The Company will showcase its portfolio of novel, in-office women’s reproductive health solutions at booth #524 at the ACOG Clinical and Scientific Meeting, taking place May 1–3, 2026 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

FemBloc® permanent birth control is the first and only non-surgical, in-office alternative to centuries-old surgical sterilization that received full regulatory approval in Europe in June 2025, the UK in August 2025, and New Zealand in September 2025.
