ENDOMETRIAL STUDIES (ERA, EMA, ALICE)

At ViaFERT fertility clinic, we offer cutting-edge technology, including endometrial studies, to enhance success rates, particularly beneficial for cases with a history of failed IVF attempts. These studies provide precise and detailed information about each patient’s endometrial status. By understanding individual endometrial characteristics and receptivity, we can make informed decisions and tailor treatment protocols accurately.

Through these studies, we optimize the timing of embryo transfer, assess the endometrial microbiome, and address potential immune or inflammatory factors that may affect implantation, contributing to IVF failures.

Our highly trained team interprets the results of these studies and applies findings to fertility treatment planning and execution. Our primary goal is to provide patients with the best care, utilizing evidence-based treatment options. We work tirelessly to increase success chances at every stage of the assisted reproductive process, helping patients achieve their dream of starting a family.

• ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis)

The Endometrial Receptivity Analysis, known as the ERA Test, analyzes endometrial gene expression to determine its receptive state. A sample of the endometrium is taken and gene expression is evaluated at different points in the menstrual cycle.

The main goal of this study is to identify the exact days of the implantation window and align embryo transfer with peak endometrial receptivity. This significantly enhances pregnancy probability, even for patients with a history of failed IVF.

• EMMA (Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis)

  The EMMA study assesses endometrial flora levels and recommends optimal treatment to balance it. It focuses on analyzing the endometrial microbiome, the community of microorganisms residing in this area.

  Using metagenomics techniques, the composition and diversity of these microorganisms are studied to understand their potential influence on fertility and endometrial receptivity. A balanced and healthy microbiome is believed to positively impact embryo implantation and pregnancy success.

• ALICE (Analysis of Intrauterine Cytokines Expression).

The ALICE study is a diagnostic test that detects pathogenic bacteria causing chronic endometritis and recommends appropriate antibiotic and probiotic treatment.

Chronic endometritis is persistent inflammation of the endometrial lining caused by uterine cavity infection, primarily by bacterial pathogens not detectable through conventional testing methods.

Pathogenic bacteria causing chronic endometritis are linked to implantation failures and recurrent miscarriages.
