Recurrent Implantation Failure

Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcriptome-based endometrial receptivity analysis (tb-ERA) and investigate the molecular mechanisms of abnormal receptivity in young women with unexplained recurrent implantation failure (RIF).
Detailed description
Young women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) will be prospectively recruited and classified based on their Window of Implantation (WOI) status. Clinical outcomes will be compared between patients undergoing personalized embryo transfer (pET) and those receiving standard transfer. Concurrently, endometrial tissues collected at P+3 and P+5 will undergo RNA sequencing to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal receptivity. Integrating these clinical and transcriptomic data, we aim to develop a clinical prediction model for displaced WOI and validate the efficacy of pET in improving pregnancy outcomes for this specific population.
