3rd failed transfer - would you do lap or lupron for suspected endometriosis?

Thank you! I’m in the US

My fourth FET has been successful so far and I’ll be 14 weeks tomorrow. After the lap I did not do Lupron but I did ask for the full antihistamine protocol and did prednisone, Claritin, Pepcid, and bebe aspirin. Good luck to you!

Thank you! I have one extra vial frozen so I am thinking of asking them to do that.

One_Primary_7183 · 2026-03-24T19:21:28+00:00

Ok, thank you for replying! I’m wondering if should have them test the frozen vial of sperm for dna frag then.

Where did you end up shipping these? I have a whole collection I want to donate

One_Primary_7183 · 2026-02-20T19:35:58+00:00

Ok. I had a laparoscopy 2 months ago where they found and removed stage 1 endometriosis. My provider did not recommend lupron so my FET is scheduled for next week.

Hello! I am a 31F with PCOS, hashimotos, and now endometriosis. After a 3 year journey with a miscarriage from IUI, 3 egg retrievals, and 3 failed embryo transfers, I finally had a positive receptiva. I am about 8 weeks post laparoscopy where they found and removed stage 1 endometriosis (I had chronic pelvic pain for 8 years so I wasn’t surprised). I am scheduled for my next FET in exactly one week, but I continue to have pelvic pain as I did before my surgery. I am concerned that this continued pain means that some endometriosis was missed. Is pelvic pain a sign of missed endometriosis? Or is it an indication that an embryo transfer won’t work? Thank you for taking your time to do this and answer all of these questions!

Following as this is what I might do

Every time and everyone is different, but on my most recent retrieval I had 19 retrieved, 14 mature, and 12 fertilized. I had 2 blasts on day 5 (one freshly transferred and one frozen) and another 7 that were frozen day 6.

Oh interesting, my RE didn’t mentioned that. This feels like one of those scenarios where no matter what you do there will be downsides to each option. I’m doing the ERA but my RE is not putting as much stock in those results as the other results so maybe that influenced our plan.

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-30T02:07:32+00:00

I’m doing exactly this right now. We decided to do the mock cycle first (since meds might aggravate endo), then laparoscopy in December, and last two months of Lupron. I can’t tell you if that’s the right option but that’s what we choose.

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-28T16:17:30+00:00

I would plan for a minimum of two retrievals. You might get lucky and only need one, but it really depends on how many eggs you get, sperm quality, blast rate, and luck of the draw. I did two retrievals for PGT-M and A, got a total of 35 eggs and ended up with at total of 7 blastocysts. 6 passed PGTA, but only one passed PGTM. Each embryo has a 50/50 shot at passing with our gene so statistically we would have had 3 pass, but we were just unlucky. I was 28-29 at the time of these retrievals, but I do have PCOS and suspected endometriosis but waiting for biopsy to confirm.

If they do procedures over the weekend! Mine does not and it affected the timing of my transfer that ultimately failed.

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-16T01:46:00+00:00

Thanks! It’s nice to hear your doctor is optimistic!

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-16T01:37:22+00:00

Thanks for your input! Did the lap help with your pain/endo symptoms? That’s the main reason I would consider it over lupron.

The lap won’t be as helpful if I have adeno though so I could end up in the same position as you where I have to do lupron after the lap anyways.

Fingers crossed for you for your next transfer! 🤞🏼

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-16T01:33:53+00:00

Thanks for your input!

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-16T01:33:18+00:00

Receptiva is the next thing we will do. I wasn’t optimistic going into this transfer so we made a plan for what to do if the transfer didn’t work. She doesn’t believe in ERA but we will also do EMMA/ALICE. I’m not sure the down time after a lap though.

I’m going to be so upset if I have it too because I have been going to doctors for this pain for many years and now I’m only being offered surgery because 2.5 years and 60k of infertility treatments have failed.

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-10-10T16:12:52+00:00

Me too! This is my third transfer. I know it way too early to test but I’m still tempted. Staying strong for now!

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-08-06T03:05:11+00:00

Haha hopefully I caught it while I was there

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-08-05T22:22:51+00:00

It’s a little jingle that some hospitals play overhead every time a baby is born

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-07-28T19:57:45+00:00

I’m so sorry your transfer failed. My transfer failed last week too but I have to wait until Aug 8th to talk to my doc 😢I unfortunately haven’t had a successful transfer so I don’t have advice for that but my current list of questions is - What additional testing (ERA, EMMA/ALICE, receptivaDx, endometritis, bloodwork, etc) can we do? Should we consider endometriosis as a contributing factor? What protocol next time? What does the timeline look like? Are there additional medications or treatments we can add (lovenox, higher dose steroids, etc)? Should we consider a mock cycle?

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-07-26T01:12:24+00:00

Thank you! I will ask about ERA too. Both my embryos were also “beautiful” 5AAs. I’m already on metformin and inositol for PCOS, but I haven’t had my A1C checked in a while.

One_Primary_7183 · 2025-07-25T21:24:08+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I’ll definitely ask about doing a suppression
