Preparing for IVF - endometriosis and potential APS

I've been preparing to begin IVF treatment, doing blood tests etc. One of my blood tests came back positive for beta-2 glycoprotein IgM antibodies, which may indicate antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). I'm still waiting for a further consult but a quick search online showed that APS can cause difficulties with implantation and recurrent miscarriages.

From what I've read, it seems that with proper treatment for APS during pregnancy, there is a good chance for a success. However, is this still the case factoring in my endometriosis and adenomyosis? It just seems to be yet another hurdle in our TTC journey. I wonder if anyone else has any experience with this? x
