Endometrial receptivity map

It is a diagnostic test performed by an endometrial biopsy.

What is its purpose?

To detect the most suitable time for the endometrium to carry out the embryo transfer. This moment is known as the implantation window, and it is the moment when embryo implantation is most likely to occur.

Who is this for?

Women who have suffered implantation failure.
Women who have failed to achieve pregnancy after good quality embryo transfer.
Women with no apparent endometrial problems, with normal uterus and endometrium, but who fail to achieve implantation.

endometrial biopsy n
 A procedure in which a sample of the uterine wall is taken and examined for abnormal cells.
endometrium
 The innermost layer of the uterus, which varies in thickness according to the phase of the menstrual cycle. It is the place where the baby grows.
implantation window n
 Period when the lining of the uterus is ready to receive the embryo. This period may vary in women with irregular menstrual cycles.
embryo transfer n
 The process of transferring an embryo into a woman's uterus to achieve pregnancy.
embryo implantation n
 The process by which the fertilised ovum attaches to the lining of the uterus to continue its development, resulting in a progressive pregnancy. This ensures that the embryo receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother during pregnancy.
implantation failure n
 A reproductive problem where pregnancy is not achieved after frequent unprotected sex or after several cycles of in vitro fertilisation or egg donation.
pregnancy n
 The condition or period during which a woman carries a developing foetus in her womb, usually about 40 weeks from conception to birth.
embryo transfer n
 The process of transferring an embryo into a woman's uterus to achieve pregnancy.
endometrium
 The innermost layer of the uterus, which varies in thickness according to the phase of the menstrual cycle. It is the place where the baby grows.
uterus n
 Organ of the female reproductive system in which the foetus develops during pregnancy.
