How long after excision of endometriosis and ovarian cyst removal can you start ivf (fet treatment)?

It depends: It will depend on how extensive the endometriosis was and the necessary time to heal from surgery. Generally, most Fertility MD's prefer not to wait beyond 3 months to decrease the risk of endometriosis' return interfering with the IVF process.

Up to IVF DOC: Each IVF doc will have a specific protocol and will want to individualize care for each person to optimize the outcome
