Endometrioma effect on fertility

by ScotchGal, Oct 27, 2008 10:49AM
I had failed IVF last year and I know at that time I had 3 endometriomas all measuring around 3cm but they were not removed.  I am currently going through IVF but when I had my scan it showed I had a couple of large endometriomas, one 7cm & the other 5cm both on my left ovary - when they done the laparoscopy the 2 cysts were actually one v large cyst which has been removed and they also found endo on bladder & right side which was lasered off.  Could the endometriomas have been the cause of the IVF failing last year?  This is our last chance at IVF and I am worried that if the endo returns it could have a detrimental effect on our chances of conceiving.  Is pegnancy or hysterectomy the only alternatives??  :0(

I'm sorry but I don't know much about endometriosis and its affect on fertility moving forward.  The endometriomas could have affected your IVF as they can alter your hormones.  Another woman may come along who knows or you might be able to ask on the women's health forum.   What does your doctor say?
