How does adenomyosis affect an IVF plan?

Topic:Fertility
Affected areas:pelvicabdominalsystemic

Adenomyosis can influence IVF by making implantation less predictable and by increasing the risk of certain pregnancy complications. Because of that, we often think about IVF planning in two phases: optimizing the uterus first, then timing embryo transfer when inflammation and uterine irritability are better controlled.


Depending on your symptoms, imaging findings, and prior IVF history, our team may recommend a period of medical suppression before transfer and may favor a frozen embryo transfer strategy rather than transferring in the same cycle as stimulation. There isn’t a single “right” protocol for everyone with adenomyosis, so we tailor the plan to your goals and your specific disease pattern—reach out to schedule a consultation and we’ll walk you through the options in detail.
