This method represents a comprehensive endometrial receptivity analysis, designed to evaluate the optimal timing for embryo transfer during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. It assesses the expression of a panel of genes in the endometrium to determine its receptivity status. For example, if the analysis indicates a pre-receptive endometrium, the embryo transfer can be postponed to a later date to coincide with the predicted window of implantation.
The significance of this analysis lies in its potential to improve implantation rates and pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). By identifying the personal window of implantation, the process helps to minimize the risk of transferring embryos when the endometrium is not adequately prepared, ultimately leading to a higher chance of successful implantation and viable pregnancy. Historically, the timing of embryo transfer was based on standard protocols; this analysis offers a personalized approach.
