About Endometrial Receptivity Array
Key Highlights
-
Personalized embryo transfer timing based on molecular analysis.Specifically designed to address recurrent implantation failure (RIF).Minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery.Can identify a displaced 'window of implantation' that standard protocols miss.Helps optimize the chances of successful embryo implantation in a subsequent IVF cycle.
Who is this surgery for?
- History of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) with morphologically good-quality embryos.
- Unexplained infertility where other diagnostic tests are normal.
- Planning for a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle.
- Patients with a thin endometrium where optimal timing is critical.
- Prior to using donor eggs or embryos to synchronize the recipient's endometrium.
How to prepare
- A standard hormonal preparation cycle is followed, typically with estrogen and progesterone, to build the endometrial lining.
- The procedure is scheduled on a specific day (often day P+5) of the progesterone phase, as determined by the fertility specialist.
- No fasting or major dietary restrictions are typically required.
- Patients may be advised to take a mild pain reliever (like ibuprofen) about an hour before the procedure to minimize cramping.
- Informed consent discussing the procedure, purpose, and potential findings is obtained.
Risks & possible complications
- Mild to moderate cramping during and immediately after the biopsy, similar to menstrual cramps.
- Light spotting or vaginal bleeding for 1-2 days.
- Rare risk of infection (endometritis).
- Very rare risk of uterine perforation or significant bleeding.
- Emotional distress if the results indicate a non-receptive endometrium.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most patients can resume normal activities, including work, the same or next day.
- Over-the-counter pain medication can manage any residual cramping.
- Avoid tampons, douching, and sexual intercourse for a few days or as advised by the doctor to prevent infection.
- Results are typically available within 1-3 weeks and will guide the timing for the planned embryo transfer.
- Follow-up with the fertility specialist is essential to discuss the results and plan the personalized transfer cycle.
-
Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient procedure)
-
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days
