PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for infertility uses a small amount of your own blood, concentrated for its platelets, placed into the uterus to support healing and tissue growth. At FemRenew in Toronto, Dr. Fay Weisberg discusses PRP as a treatment option for women facing thin endometrium and recurrent implantation failure, as part of a personalized fertility conversation.
Overview & How PRP Is Being Studied
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a procedure in which a patient’s own blood platelets are concentrated and introduced into the affected area to encourage healing and regeneration. Because the platelets come from your own body, PRP is a minimally invasive, low-additive approach. FemRenew works with PRP for two specific fertility challenges, both described below.
Thin endometrium. A thin endometrial lining has long been linked to lower implantation rates, and it can be stubborn to improve with standard approaches. PRP has emerged more recently as a straightforward, relatively low-cost, minimally invasive option for resistant endometrium. Most published studies suggest that infusing PRP into the uterus during the endometrial stimulation phase is associated with greater endometrial thickness and improved pregnancy rates, though research is still developing.
Recurrent implantation failure. When good-quality embryos repeatedly fail to implant after IVF transfers, poor uterine receptivity is often a contributing factor. Studies looking at intrauterine PRP before embryo transfer have reported improvements in endometrial thickness, implantation, and ongoing pregnancy rates. It’s an active area of research, and whether it fits your situation is something to weigh carefully with your physician.
Who Might Consider PRP for Fertility
- Women with a persistently thin endometrial lining despite standard treatment
- Women who have experienced repeated implantation failure after IVF
- Patients looking for a minimally invasive option that uses their own blood
- Anyone wanting to understand, in plain terms, whether PRP could complement their existing fertility plan
How FemRenew Approaches PRP and Infertility
FemRenew was one of Canada’s first practices to work with PRP for women’s health, and Dr. Weisberg discusses it as one possible piece of a broader fertility strategy — never as a guarantee. PRP for fertility is non-surgical, and because it uses your own platelets, the process is designed to work with your body. Whether you’re a candidate depends on your diagnosis, your history, and your goals, which is exactly what the consultation is for. FemRenew works alongside a sister fertility clinic, so PRP can be considered in the wider context of your reproductive care rather than in isolation.
What to Expect — Your Consultation
