ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) Test in London

An ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test in London assesses your womb lining to help determine the optimal timing for embryo transfer.

At The Luna Clinic, our fertility specialists provide personalised ERA testing based on your fertility history and treatment needs.

Book a consultation in London to discuss your fertility concerns, understand your options and find out whether an ERA test is right for you.

What Is an ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) Test?

An ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test is a specialised fertility test that examines the lining of your womb to assess its receptivity and help identify your potential window of implantation.

The test involves taking a small endometrial biopsy at a specific stage of your cycle. The tissue is then analysed for gene-expression patterns linked to endometrial receptivity.

The results can indicate whether the lining appears receptive, pre-receptive or post-receptive at the time of testing.

At The Luna Clinic, we use ERA testing as part of a personalised fertility assessment where appropriate.

While the test may provide additional information for selected patients, it does not diagnose infertility or guarantee successful embryo implantation or pregnancy.

Process of an ERA at Our Clinic in London

We make the ERA testing process at our fertility clinic in London simple, clear, and personalised.

1. Fertility Consultation

We review your fertility history, previous treatments, and embryo-transfer outcomes. This helps us understand your individual needs.

Your specialist will also discuss your fertility goals and explain whether an ERA test may be suitable for you.

2. Cycle Planning

We plan the test around the right stage of your menstrual or treatment cycle. Your specialist will explain the timing and any preparation you may need.

You will receive clear guidance throughout the process, so you know what to expect at each stage.

3. Endometrial Biopsy

A small sample is taken from the lining of your womb at the planned stage of your cycle. The procedure is carried out as part of your fertility assessment.

You may experience some mild, temporary discomfort or cramping, but your specialist will explain the procedure and what to expect.

4. Results & Treatment Planning

The sample is analysed to assess patterns linked to endometrial receptivity. Once your results are available, your specialist will explain them clearly.

We then discuss what the findings may mean for your fertility treatment and whether they could help guide future embryo-transfer planning.

Conditions and Fertility Concerns We Assess With an ERA Test

An ERA test focuses specifically on endometrial receptivity and is used to assess concerns related to embryo implantation and transfer timing.

It is relevant for:

Repeated unsuccessful embryo transfers
Implantation difficulties
Previous unsuccessful IVF treatment
Concerns about embryo-transfer timing
Personalised embryo-transfer planning

At our IVF clinic in London, we also assess fertility concerns such as PCOS, ovulation problems, diminished ovarian reserve, fibroids, and endometriosis as part of a wider fertility assessment.

Who Can Benefit From an ERA Test in London?

An ERA test in London is designed for selected fertility patients where assessing endometrial receptivity can provide additional information for treatment planning.

It is particularly relevant for patients with:

Repeated unsuccessful embryo transfers
Previous unsuccessful IVF treatment
Recurrent implantation concerns
Questions about embryo-transfer timing
A complex or unsuccessful fertility treatment history

At The Luna Clinic, our fertility specialists review your medical and treatment history to determine whether ERA testing is appropriate and relevant to your individual fertility plan.

What Does an ERA Test Detect?

An ERA test evaluates gene-expression patterns in the endometrial tissue to classify the lining according to its predicted receptivity.

The intended purpose is to identify whether the sample appears:

Receptive – consistent with the proposed window of implantation
Pre-receptive – suggesting the sample may have been taken before the predicted receptive period
Post-receptive – suggesting the sample may have been taken after the predicted receptive period

The result is intended to provide information about the timing of the endometrium rather than identify every reason an embryo may fail to implant.

ERA Test for Fertility Treatment

At The Luna Clinic, an ERA test provides additional information about the receptivity of the womb lining during fertility treatment.

This can help your specialist assess the timing of embryo transfer as part of a personalised treatment plan.

How ERA Testing Supports Fertility Treatment

The test can provide information about:

Endometrial receptivity: Assessing whether the womb lining is receptive at the time of testing.
Embryo-transfer timing: Helping your specialist understand the timing of your potential implantation window.
Personalised treatment planning: Using your results alongside your fertility history to guide discussions about future treatment.

Your specialist will explain your ERA results clearly and consider them alongside other fertility factors when planning your next steps.

How Much Does an ERA Test Cost in London?

The cost of an ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test in London can vary depending on the clinic, testing requirements, and services included.

At The Luna Clinic, ERA testing is available within a personalised fertility care pathway.

What Can Affect the ERA Test Cost?

The overall cost can depend on:

ERA laboratory testing
Ultrasound scans and cycle monitoring
Fertility consultations
Medication or additional investigations, where required
Individual treatment and monitoring needs

As a general guide, ERA testing in London can range from around £1,000 to £1,500, depending on what is included in the package.

Your specialist will explain the costs clearly before you proceed.

Benefits of Having a Specialised ERA Test in London

For appropriately selected patients, ERA testing can provide additional information about the biology of the endometrial lining.

Potential benefits of discussing the test with a IVF specialist include:

A more detailed assessment of endometrial receptivity
Better understanding of the proposed implantation window
Individualised discussion around embryo-transfer timing
A structured review after previous unsuccessful treatment
Personalised fertility planning based on your wider medical history

It is equally important to understand the limitations.

The HFEA currently advises that endometrial receptivity testing has not been shown to improve the chance of having a baby for most fertility patients.
