A member asked:
Can drugs in ivf make endometriosis worse? if yes, what is the solution to get pregnant and deal with endo? how can depo-provera lupron (leuprolide) help?

Yes, ask REI.: Your questions are astute and complicated. Long story short: ivf hormones can make your endometriosis worse; Lupron (leuprolide) can help but not during ivf cycles; surgical extirpation of endometriosis before ivf best bet, if possible. Seek help from a reputable rei center in your area, take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and best of luck!

No: IVF treatment should not worsen endometriosis. IVF can often overcome the negative impact of endometriosis on fertility. Depo lupron (leuprolide) has not been found to improve fertility in women with endometriosis. It is however useful to control symptoms.

Endometriosis: You need an evaluation from your Obstetrician-Gynecologist to find out your options. It is appropriate to obtain a second opinion from another Doctor if you have concerns about your treatment.
