Can new endometriosis treatments preserve fertility or work with IVF?

Some emerging therapies are being studied with the goal of reducing endometriosis symptoms without prolonged ovarian suppression, which may matter if you’re trying to conceive or planning IVF. That said, many investigational options are available only through clinical trials, and trials often require contraception and specific “washout” windows that can affect your treatment timeline.


If fertility is a priority, the key is aligning any new-treatment plan with your reproductive goals and any planned egg retrieval or embryo transfer. Our team can help you weigh potential benefits, timing constraints, and how a given option might fit alongside fertility treatment, and we can coordinate next steps with your fertility care when needed.
