Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses the fertility treatment add on called the ERA test or Endometrial Receptivity Analysis test. This test is used to look at the gene profile of the endometrium to see if it fits their definition of "perfect" implantation window timing. In this episode, Dr. Crawford reviews different studies of the ERA test and whether or not this test improves treatment outcomes.
