Treatments The first step is to confirm the diagnosis and check both you and your partner, just to be sure endometriosis is the ONLY issue. The next step is to decide which assisted reproductive technology (ART) to use. Cost can play a role in this choice unfortunately:
Intra-uterine insemination (IUI) – the sperm is artificially inserted into the uterine cavity to give a better chance of finding its egg.
In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) – the eggs are artificially inseminated before being introduced into the uterus What are the chances of becoming pregnant with endometriosis? Endometriosis does seem to cause infertility and conception problems, but it's not a lost cause. While approximately two-thirds who suffer are unable to conceive...a whopping ONE THIRD do get pregnant once they begin treatment – what is the source of this statement – I don’t think it is correct – too many other confounders to make a sweeping statement – a 25 year-old woman with endometriosis has WAY better success than a 39 year-old with endometriosis. In clinical terms that's a very good chance of success. Don't wait, conceiving is a precious gift and we can help. Contact us now. 7 Endometriosis Myths
