ERA and NK biopsy - price

[ourbundleofjoy]

Hi ladies,

We had an egg collection at the beginning of May and now have one PGT-A tested embryo. We would like to give this embryo the best chance, therefore before FET, we will do tests: ERA and NK.

We received our new treatment plan, where the Natural Killer (NK) cells biopsy and Natural Killer (NK) cells blood are priced separately. Of course, ERA biopsy is also priced separately.

Surely, the biopsy for ERA and NK is the same one, or I misunderstood it. The question is, have they charged us twice for the same procedure?

Whilst we are waiting for a reply from our clinic, would you please comment if your clinic has priced it the same way. Thank you.

I wish you all the best on your journey*

HI!At my clinic the NK cells biopsy and ERA biopsy go to different labs and there for are separate biopsies / lab charges (even though done at the same time)

They charged us separately for NK cell biopsy (approx 1200) and ERA (approx 500).

Hope this helps x

ERA [Endometrial Receptivity Array ] is a test that aims to identify the best time for your embryo transfer , based on genetic testing to identify the window for implantation . For peripheral Natural Killer cells test it is a blood test that measures the quantity of NK cells in the bloodstream .Uterine NK cells testing can only be done via an endometrial biopsy . For more information so you can make an informed choice have a look at this website hfea.gov.uk "Treatment Add Ons " and see what they recommend .Thinking of you
