ERA success ?

[VG2021]

Hi All,

After 2 failed (BFN) transfers, I am scheduled for ERA this cycle.

Looking for any success stories and if the timing of transfer really can make a difference.

I have read mixed reviews about this online.

I think you'll get quite a few positive responses 😘 Some people swear this made the difference for them. My ERA found I needed a whole extra 24 hours of progesterone in an IVF transfer. My only transfer after getting the results didn't work, but I don't think that means the ERA wasn't valuable. If you think about it, the results were saying my womb wasn't receptive at the time the doctor was putting the blastocyst back, and that feels significant to me 😘 xx

Hey,I am sure the results of the ERA made the difference for me.

5 transfers all BFN. Adjusted to have 18 hours fewer days progesterone before transfer and got my BFP. I have a short cycle so I had a feeling it would be that way. I also had the Emma and Alice at the same time which showed low good bacteria so that might have helped too.

Good luck and hope it's helpful for you too and finally get your bfp too xx

Thank you - that’s helpful to me too. 5 BFN’s and about to do these tests x

Could you tell me what was the CD of transfer as I also have a short cycle so was just wondering it might help. There are all mixed up reviews/studies on era so some say yes rest say no,so debatable. I have also had 5 transfers all bfn😰

[Purple276 in reply to Star3129]

The ERA took a biopsy of my lining 114 hours after starting progesterone and showed that my implantation window had already passed so then did it again with fewer hours to eventually get the right timing. I fell pregnant naturally after having sex on CD 7 and 8 of my cycle as ovulate normally day 11/12 so this was which made me think I have an early window so the standard FET after 5 days of progesterone didn't quite work for me.

It's so hard to know what really makes the difference as there's not the evidence but we just have to try and eliminate the options! Hope this helps and wish you lots of luck x

Hi there, By discovering you had low good bacteria, did that mean you took more good bacteria in eg tablets to top up and improve the womb environment? Or something else (I'm just guessing)? Thanks!

Hey, I took Canesflor vaginal probiotics recommended by my clinic. The pack covers one a day for 7 days then one a week for 4 weeks. 🙂

Thanks! X

Thanks a ton. It would be good to have as much knowledge about the right time as much as possible. Cant leave everything to chance.
