    I love the ivf clinic that I used, but they tried to see if I'd buy the era. I was 37 with one 4aa euploid, clean hycosy. My cycle was an all inclusive package and I felt it was just a way to bank another $1200+. I declined bc I already viewed videos saying the 6th day of progesterone was optimal for fet. I think it was one day before ovulation and 5 days afterwards. I used both the injection and vag tab. My pregnancy strips had faint lines 3 days later. I couldn't imagine having to drive 6 hours each way and waste a cycle, plus pay medications, ultrasounds and the test, on top of my package price. What I wish they would have done differently was give me levothyroxine and have me test/increase my vitamin d ahead of time so that my eggs could have received the benefit during my first ER.

    Hello Dr. Morris. I started an ERA test but it was cancelled because my progesterone level was 4 on the lining check/progesterone blood draw date. My cycles are usually 28 days. This was my protocol. I wasn't on BC. I started Estradiol patches on Day 4 of my cycle (Started with 2 patches). Changed patches on Day 6 (3 patches and continued to change every 3 days) The uterine lining check and P4 blood test was done on cycle Day 16. The progesterone level was 4 and Uterine lining was 10mm. The cycle was cancelled because of the P4 level. Do you have any suggestions of what can be done differently to avoid spontaneous ovulation next time? Will being on BC for a couple of weeks prior to the estrogen patches help? Thank you so much.

    Hello doctor,
    I have had 4 chemical pregnancies (concieved naturally).
    Then went for ivf.
    Cycle 1 failed even after transferring 2 pgs tested embryos.
    Then got ERA done. Its result was - EARLY RECEPTIVE BY 12 HOURS.
    So i want to know is there any connection between my naturally concieved pregnancies and this ERA result?

      @@InfertilityTV Thanks for the reply. Sure , I’ll be waiting to hear what’s new about the ERA. I just don’t feel comfortable doing a 3rd transfer just like the previous two that failed. I’m already terrified about losing more embryos. Losing 4 in just two transfers sounds too much. I talked with my doctor about the ERA and she thinks it’s probably a good idea to do it👍🏼
