ERA®: Helping to Improve Uterine Implantation Results
Vital to securing successful implantation, ERA® (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) is recommended for women who have had multiple implantation failures, despite high-quality embryos. The test, which is easily and rapidly administered, shows the best day for transferring the embryo. ERA®:
-
Requires a small sample of endometrial tissue during your gynecologist appointment
-
Analyzes 248 genes involved in endometrial receptivity
-
Determines if the endometrium is receptive at the time of sampling
-
Allows finding a personalized window of implantation in the event of displacement, facilitating a personalized embryo transfer (pET)
ERA® testing has a high success rate, resulting in a 73% pregnancy rate in women who have experienced implantation failure. We will be happy to discuss this option with you, a potentially essential step in your journey to parenthood.
ERA FAQs
-
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus that plays a critical role in reproduction. Each month, the endometrium thickens in response to hormonal changes in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If an embryo successfully implants in the endometrium, pregnancy begins. If no implantation occurs, the endometrial lining sheds during menstruation. A healthy, properly functioning endometrium is essential for embryo implantation and the overall success of pregnancy.
-
A receptive endometrium refers to the state when the uterine lining is ready for an embryo to implant. During this period, the endometrial cells undergo specific changes in response to hormonal signals, primarily from progesterone. These changes make the endometrium more conducive to supporting the attachment of an embryo, which is crucial for the early stages of pregnancy. Endometrial receptivity is a key factor in the success of fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
-
Typically including days 19-21 of the menstrual cycle, this is the time frame during which the endometrium is most receptive to implantation.
