East Weymouth, MA

I have been very lucky with my endometriosis journey. Diagnosed at 16, and generally well managed with continuous birth control for 15 years. I stopped taking the pill almost 4 years ago, had fertility testing done and no issues were found with me or my husband. We weren’t trying to get pregnant, but also were not preventing for 3 years. In the last year and a half we were actively trying and I had 3 miscarriages consecutively. We are beginning IVF, and I’m nervous that the endo is affecting my… read more

What are your chances of conception with IVF after experiencing 3 consecutive miscarriages with endometriosis?

First, it's understandable to feel anxious after what you've been through. The good news is that IVF can be an excellent option for people with endometriosis, especially when other approaches haven't been successful.

IVF is particularly helpful for those with more severe endometriosis or when the condition affects the ovaries or fallopian tubes. The process bypasses many of the obstacles that endometriosis creates by stimulating egg maturation, fertilizing eggs outside the body, and depositing fertilized eggs directly into the uterus.

Here are some encouraging statistics:
- Around 70% of women with mild to moderate endometriosis can become pregnant without treatment
- Women with severe endometriosis (stages 3 and 4) have an excellent chance of getting pregnant with proper support
- Overall, about 75% of people with endometriosis can achieve pregnancy with the right treatment approach

Endometriosis can affect fertility through inflammation, which may impact the uterine lining and interfere with embryo implantation. However, working with a fertility specialist who understands your endometriosis can help address these challenges. Many MyEndometriosisTeam members have shared hopeful experiences:

- One member tried for four years before successfully having a baby girl: "I hope you all are as lucky as I am to have just one miracle baby. Don't give up hope."

- Another member was scheduled for a hysterectomy when she discovered she was pregnant: "Never give up. Your body is amazing, even though some days you hate it."

- A member who tried for two years while undergoing fertility treatments encourages: "Stay strong, stay very active and healthy, and never lose hope!"

It's worth discussing your miscarriage history and concerns about endometriosis-related inflammation with your fertility specialist. They can tailor your IVF protocol to give you the best possible chance of success. Don't give up—many people with endometriosis do achieve successful pregnancies with IVF support.
