Do the ERA test before FET?

Question

Hi, has anyone done the ERA test to find out the perfect time for a frozen transfer? My dr recommends it, it is not mandatory, but it's result helps the dr. know when to transfer, the CM day and hour, and it increases the implantation chaces a lot. I had 3 failed iuis, 1

pregnancy that I lost at 8 weeks so I am not sure what to do as the

pregnancy did implant but the embryos stopped growing...also the test is expensive, aprox 900 eur almost as much as the transfer. We spent so much with all this baby journey it already seems exaggerated to keep on paying for maybe having a baby...But as this transfer is with my last frozen embryos I do want all to go well. Any advice or succes stories with the ERA test?

Answer

I did pgs and we have had 1 failed FET. I had a conversation about the ERA with my doctor, who said studies on the test show that is actually makes very little difference in success rates. We did our own research and found this same data. We are going to do one more FET then will consider era.

Answer

I HIGHLY recommend it!!! We have to pay out of pocket also. And no we don’t have money to just throw away but I’m glad I did. My first transfer was a chemical pregnancy. After that I did a ERA test. It showed I needed another day of exposure to progesterone to be considered receptive. Had I not did it I would of never known and my embryos would of never implanted. Second transfer thrived. It ended in a miscarriage due to a subchronic hemorrhage. I’ll be transferring again next month same protocol 💕

Answer

Thank you all for your answers. I am leaning towards not takeing the test, I also read about it and I think it'snot a must. Unfortunately they do not do PGS testing here and my dr said he does not recommend it as the embryos might be hurt or lost in the pgs process of freezing etc. Thank you!

Answer

We did ERA and PGS and I’m 18.5 weeks with my first FET. Good luck 🙏🏼

Answer

Yes, do the era test, and genetically test your embryos. You need to make sure your embryos are genetically normal or the ERA is in vain. Worked for me at first transfer:)
