Which specialist performs endometrial receptivity testing?

Short answer

A reproductive medicine specialist or fertility doctor orders and coordinates endometrial receptivity testing, with laboratory specialists analysing the sample.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

How the test is organised

Endometrial receptivity testing, sometimes called an implantation window test, examines a sample from the uterine lining at a planned point in a treatment cycle. The fertility doctor sets the medicine schedule, arranges the timing, and performs the sampling procedure, which is commonly obtained through the cervix. A laboratory then processes the tissue and sends a report to the clinic. The doctor discusses what the result may mean for the timing of a future embryo transfer.

What to clarify beforehand

Ask which medicines and cycle dates control the sample timing, what pain relief is available, and when to report bleeding or illness that could affect the appointment. Tell the clinic about pregnancy possibility, allergies, anticoagulants, and previous cervical or uterine procedures. Confirm how the result will change the plan and whether the test is being recommended for your particular fertility history.

When to contact the clinic

Call the clinic about persistent or heavy bleeding, increasing pelvic pain, fever, unusual discharge, dizziness, or feeling unwell after sampling. Seek urgent care for severe pain, fainting, or heavy bleeding with weakness. Use the clinic's own aftercare instructions because the expected discomfort and recovery can differ between patients.

Questions for your doctor

Ask who will take the sample, how the timing is calculated, how the laboratory report is interpreted, and exactly what treatment decision will follow each possible result.

Questions people ask

Does the laboratory doctor perform the sampling?

The fertility specialist usually obtains the sample; laboratory specialists analyse it and return a report.

Can the test be done at any time?

Timing is planned around the treatment cycle because the sample is intended to reflect a specific stage of the uterine lining.
