Fertility Enhancement Options: ERA & PRP for Improved Pregnancy Success
When trying to conceive, some individuals and couples face challenges that require advanced fertility treatments. At NewLife Fertility, we offer innovative solutions to enhance your chances of a successful pregnancy. Two leading options—Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy—help optimize implantation and improve reproductive health.
Fertility Enhancement Options
1. Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA)
ERA is a groundbreaking fertility test that analyzes the uterine lining to determine the best time for embryo transfer, increasing the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.
How ERA Works
- A sample of the uterine lining is collected during a minimally invasive procedure.
- The sample is examined for genetic markers and signs of inflammation.
- Results pinpoint the optimal implantation window for embryo transfer.
It is important to note that ERA is performed during a mock FET (frozen embryo transfer) cycle using the same treatment plan intended for the actual FET. This approach helps mimic the circumstances of the real cycle and accurately diagnose the optimum window for implantation.
Who Can Benefit from ERA?
ERA is recommended for individuals who:
✔️ Have experienced multiple miscarriages or recurrent pregnancy loss.
✔️ Have undergone unsuccessful IVF cycles due to implantation failure.
Benefits of ERA
✅ Identifies the most receptive time for embryo transfer.
✅ May reduce the number of IVF attempts needed.
✅ Provides a personalized, data-driven approach to fertility treatment.
2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy is an innovative fertility treatment that uses the body’s natural healing properties to improve uterine lining quality and reproductive health.
How PRP Works
- A blood sample (10-20 CC) is taken from the patient.
- The blood is processed to extract and concentrate platelets and growth factors.
- The PRP is then injected into the uterine cavity to promote tissue regeneration and improve receptivity.
There are two types of PRP treatment:
- Uterine PRP: This involves flushing the uterus with platelet concentrate to enhance implantation by improving endometrial receptivity.
- Ovarian PRP (Ovarian Rejuvenation): This procedure involves injecting PRP directly into the ovaries to improve egg quality, particularly in older patients. Ovarian PRP is performed in the operating room (OR), similar to an egg retrieval procedure, and has a different pricing structure. Unlike uterine PRP, it does not affect uterine receptivity or thickness but aims to enhance ovarian function.
Who Can Benefit from PRP?
PRP therapy may help individuals who:
✔️ Have a thin uterine lining that makes implantation difficult.
✔️ Have had multiple failed embryo transfers.
✔️ Are looking to improve egg quality through ovarian rejuvenation.
Benefits of PRP
✅ May improve endometrial thickness and enhance implantation success.
✅ Uses the body’s natural growth factors to support fertility.
✅ Can be used alongside other fertility treatments like IVF for better outcomes.
Additional Fertility Enhancement Options
At NewLife Fertility, we offer other advanced treatments and tests that fall under fertility enhancement, including:
- CD138 Biopsy, EMMA/ALICE Biopsy, and Diagnostic Tampon Test: These tests assess the uterine microbiome and detect chronic endometritis (inflammation). If results indicate an issue, treatment is provided accordingly.
- Intralipid Infusion, Neupogen Wash, and Embryo Glue: These treatments are used before embryo transfer to improve implantation success rates.
Next Steps: Finding the Right Treatment for You
Deciding on the best fertility enhancement option requires a thorough evaluation by a specialist. The appropriate enhancement options must be determined and approved by your doctor, and the decision to proceed with the recommended treatments is entirely up to the patient.
