Endometrial Receptivity Analysis ERA®

Endometrial Receptivity Analysis ERA® testing available at Inspire IVF

ERA® is a diagnostic test that helps to evaluate the woman’s endometrial receptivity. It identifies a patient’s unique “window of implantation” (WOI) leading to a personalized embryo transfer (pET).

The ERA® test helps avoid implantation failure by establishing the best day for embryo transfer.

Who should use the ERA® test?

The ERA® test is recommended for:

  • Patients who have suffered recurrent implantation failure with high quality embryos.
  • 3 in every 10 patients have a displaced window of implantation.
  • Women with a morphologically normal uterus and normal endometrial thickness (≥ 6 mm), where the uterus and endometrium are unlikely to be the problem.

How is the test done?

  • Using a small sample of endometrial tissue the ERA® test establishes the best day for transferring the embryo.
  • The biopsy sample is easily and quickly taken by your gynaecologist during your appointment.
  • ERA will determine if the endometrium is receptive or not at the time of sampling, by analysing 248 genes involved in endometrial receptivity.
  • ERA® testing can find your personalized window of implantation in case of displacement, and will allow a personalized embryo transfer (pET).

Benefits

  • When performing the embryo transfer using the personalized “window of implantation” recommendations, the chances of getting pregnant are increased.
  • The ERA® test resulted in a 73% pregnancy rate in patients with previous implantation failure.*
