Abstrakt:	Background and Objectives: In contemporary society, socially active women are increasingly planning their fertility for later in life. The fertility outcomes for advanced-age patients, even with egg donation, are often suboptimal due to endometrial aging. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is one of the core problems for assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially for advanced-age patients. High-quality, euploid embryos and synchronization between the embryonic stage and the uterine endometrial lining are crucial for positive outcomes. The study aims to improve ART outcomes with personalized embryo transfer (pET) according to endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) in advanced-age patients with challenging reproductive histories, and RIF by utilizing, donor oocytes and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) for embryo testing. Methods: A randomized, controlled observational follow-up study was conducted from 2020 to 2023. After obtaining informed consent, 320 patients with RIF were selected. Patients were allocated into the study group and control group 1 based on consistent application of randomization principles, while control group 2 was selected separately. The study group included patients undergoing PGT-A and ERA, aged 35-45 years, with a mean age of 40.5±3.7 years. Control group 1 comprised patients undergoing PGT-A, aged 35-45 years, with a mean age of 40±4.2 years. Control group 2 consisted of patients undergoing PGT-A and ERA, aged less than 35 years, with a mean age of 31.6±2.2 years. Results: Results suggest that ERA may improve implantation and pregnancy outcomes in advanced-age patients, particularly those with RIFs. The pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the study group (77.9%), compared to control group 1 (57.6%) (p=0.0007), and no significant difference compared to control group 2 (77.3%) (p=0.94). The implantation rate was higher in the study group (54.1%) than in control group 1 (39.4%) (p=0.0009), and there was no significant difference between the study group and control group 2 (50%, p=0.87). The live birth rate was also higher in the study group (71.3%), compared to control group 1 (39.4%) (p<0.0001). There were no significant differences between the study group and control group 2 (65.9%, p=0.50). Conclusion: pET guided by ERA significantly improves pregnancy, implantation, and live birth rates in advanced-age patients with challenging reproductive histories. pET provides ART outcomes with no significant difference between advanced-age patients and younger patients with pET guided by ERA.
