Endometriosis and IVF

6 Replies

After a year of trying to conceive and suffering recurrent miscarriages , I was diagnosed with endometriosis. My doctor suggested IVF with genetic testing as our best chance of pregnancy. We just experienced a failed IVF cycle and my doctor thinks it was likely due to the endometriosis. We have three frozen blastocysts left that have been genetically screened. Has anyone had a successful transfer with endometriosis? Has anyone found any dietary or lifestyle changes that have improved fertility? Any help and success stories are greatly appreciated. :-)

Hi Jen ! I am actually doing the ERA test this morning, (not sure if this is the same, writing from the US), but I will look into this. Thank you.

I'm in NYC, they offer it in addition to ERA I think. I think Receptiva is brand name

Hi jess. I don't know which protocol you had, but I think I would favour a long one to enable your endometriosis to quieten down before stimulation. Perhaps ask about blood thinners too to ensure an even blood flow to the womb lining and hopefully prevent any clot formation. Good luck with whatever you decide. Diane

Thank you Diane ! We had stimulation and retrieval in July so now just working up to a transfer. I am on an aspirin but will ask about other blood thinning options.
