We report a case of a 39-year-old woman with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) by using endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) test. According to a recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) study, the ERA test is expected as a helpful tool for the treatment of infertile patients with RIF. However, even in the recent RCT study, the efficacy for the ERA test for older patients (more than 38 years old) is still unclear, as the inclusion criterion for the patients in the RCT study was age 37 years or younger. In our research, the patient was 39 years old at the time of the first visit to our clinic. Therefore, the clinical utility of the ERA test may depend on the patient's age. In order to confirm the hypothesis, RCT study for older patients should be conducted. In conclusion, our research showed the limitation of ERA test in older patients with RIF. This will be a good step in the management of such patients.
