The Egg Whisperer Show Endometrial Analysis with Dr. Allison Rogers and Dr. Aimee hosted by Dr. Tiffany Stankewicz
Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I’m honored to be sharing a conversation all about endometrial analysis. Originally hosted by Tiffany Stankewicz and Nasser Al Asmar of Igenomix / Vitrolife Group, this interview included Dr. Allison Rodgers and Dr. Aimee
We did a deep dive on how endometrial analysis works, and the tools that are available for fertility patients to get a better understanding of what may be happening with their endometrial lining. We also talk about how endometrial receptivity testing can lead to better outcomes for patients. The truth is that up to 30% of women have pathogenic bacteria in their endometrial lining that can negatively affect an embryo’s ability to implant, and the good news is that there are simple antibiotics that can improve the lining.
Dr. Rodgers and I have both had a lot of experience using the tools that Igenomix has created to test the endometrium, and we have both found that they can improve a patient’s chance for a successful pregnancy. They call the trio of tests “Endometrio” and it includes EMMA, ALICE, and ERA. These three tests do the following:
ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) - The ERA test evaluates the stage of an endometrium to determine if a receptive or non-receptive genetic profile is present at the time of biopsy.
EMMA (Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis) - A screening test to evaluate the endometrium at the microbiological level.
ALICE (Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis) - ALICE detects the bacteria causing chronic endometritis to improve your patient’s reproductive prognosis.
Tune in to learn more about endometrial analysis and how these tests, and the science behind them, can give fertility patients more insights about their endometrium, implantation, and chances for pregnancy.
Thank you for hosting, Tiffany and Nasser, and thank you for the great discussion, Allison!
