Receptiva test - endometriosis diagnosis + treatment.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi! Has anyone been diagnosed with endometriosis through the Receptiva test, with a high test score? I'm wondering if anyone has any information about only using birth control as a method of treating a high receptiva test score (3.6), or if using Lupron really is the best treatment (in regards to fertility)? Thank you for your advice!

Thanks. I am also wondering how much endometriosis really affects fertility? It seems there's studies that show both sides - and my doctor is on the fence about how much it actually affects fertility. So looking for more information. Thanks.

What a great question! The ReceptivaDx test measures BCL6 protein levels in the uterine lining, and a score of 3.6 is considered elevated, which can be associated with endometriosis affecting implantation and fertility.

When it comes to treatment options for a high ReceptivaDx score, the two most commonly discussed Show Full Answer

What a great question! The ReceptivaDx test measures BCL6 protein levels in the uterine lining, and a score of 3.6 is considered elevated, which can be associated with endometriosis affecting implantation and fertility.

When it comes to treatment options for a high ReceptivaDx score, the two most commonly discussed approaches are:

- Birth control pills – Can help suppress endometriosis-related inflammation but may have limited impact on BCL6 levels specifically
- Lupron (leuprolide) – A GnRH agonist that more aggressively suppresses estrogen, which some fertility specialists prefer for high BCL6 scores before embryo transfer

Some fertility specialists do favor Lupron over birth control for high scores, as research suggests it may more effectively reduce BCL6 levels and improve implantation outcomes. However, the right choice really depends on your individual situation, including your overall fertility goals and timeline. This is absolutely a conversation worth having in depth with a reproductive endocrinologist or endometriosis specialist, as they can tailor the approach to your specific score and circumstances.

A MyEndometriosisTeam member shared that finding the right specialist made all the difference in getting proper answers and a clear treatment plan. Advocating for yourself and asking your doctor directly about both options — and their success rates — is always a smart move! 💪
