Six transfers, had successful implantation twice, will ERA test be a waste of money? What else should I try?

[MofM]

Hello everyone,

I am back after a long break in which I had a few more failures.

Some context: 3 fresh cycles, a total of 8 embryos transferred on 6 different occasions, got a positive pregnancy with a single embryo transfer in 2018 (miscarried at 6w+5) and in 2019 (double embryo transfer, chemical pregnancy).

Diagnosed with anticardiolipin antibody (been on heparin in my last three transfers) and with slightly raised anti-TPO antibody (been on Levothyroxine in my last two transfers).

I am now wondering whether I should invest in an ERA test. To the best of my understanding, these are used in case of failed implantation, to see whether the "progesterone window" should be increased. I had two successful implantations (but not pregnancy) before. Does it make sense to try it, or will I just waste my money?

What else should I try?

Thanks, everyone!

It costs around £1,200 so probably worth it, small vs the amount of money spent on multiple cycles

That’s a good point!

I also had a positive on my first fresh round and had a mm at 7 weeks. Then two failed transfers. I’ve had the era and it showed I needed an extra 12 hours which my consultant said could have an effect on the early stages so I’m hoping a change in protocol will help me xx

Good to know. My miscarriage was a hatching blasto, so a bit more advanced. On the other hand, my last failure was from two hatching blastos... I will take your experience into account, thanks!
