1  Q1 Can IVF flare up my endometriosis? A1. As stimulation only lasts for a short period of time this is unlikely. However, using a less aggressive stimulation protocol may be preferable.

2  Q2 Can you drain my endometrioma during the egg collection? A2. This is something that we actually try to avoid as it can cause infection which can occasionally be serious. Still this may inadvertently happen and is one of the recognized complications of the procedure. You will be receiving prophylactic antibiotics during your egg collection to decrease the risk of an infection.

3  Q3 Do I need surgery to remove the endometriomas before IVF? A3. This is controversial and answered on a case by case basis. Removing the endometriomas per se will not increase your chances of success.

4  Q4 Are my chances of conceiving good? A4. Women with endometriosis appear to have similar chances of live birth after IVF compared with women who don’t suffer with endometriosis.
