From my understanding his viewpoint was that it didn’t aid in standard protocol patients, but it could assist with those with repeat implantation failure or adenomyosis. I am the latter, so we decided to give it a shot anyway (I actually asked for the test, he really pushed the UtimPro over the Trio, but I wanted it all since I was doing the biopsy anyway for the UtimPro).

Studies have been really conflicted on whether it helps or not. It hasn’t hindered cycles from what I have read in the research. Here are a couple more studies I referenced when I decided to go with the ERA. There has been a lot of criticism of it, and I think that’s valid given the added cost. Had it been an a-la-cart test, not included with EMMA and ALICE, I probably would have forgone it.

I also had tests done and will be doing a retest in a couple of weeks. I am curious to know what your doctor thinks of the ERA tests since it has been recently shown not to be clear in its results.
