What is ERA testing in IVF?

During your menstrual cycle, there is a short period of time during which your endometrium is in this optimal condition, this is referred to as your ‘implantation window’. The ‘implantation window’ is thought to be around 6-10 days after ovulation.

ERA test can optimize the chances for successful implantation, especially if there is a concern about your endometrial lining, which is not evident in any of the other tests.

The ERA test can determine whether this ‘implantation window’ is happening for you at the expected time. Thus, allowing your doctors to better time your embryo transfer.

Evidence shows that 25 percent of recurrent implantation failure patients who undergo the ERA test had a non-receptive lining at the expected implantation time. Embryo transfer at this time is likely to lead to implantation failure, causing IVF failure, and consequent emotional and financial distress.
