Should I be tested for endometritis after IVF failures?

Yes—endometritis (often chronic, low-grade inflammation of the uterine lining) can be worth evaluating after repeated IVF failures, especially when embryos appear good-quality, transfers are well-timed, and implantation or early pregnancy loss keeps happening. It’s not the only possible explanation, but it’s one of the “missed” contributors that can coexist with endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, polyps, or immune/hormonal factors that affect the uterine environment.

The key is choosing a workup that’s targeted to your exact pattern—failed implantation vs recurrent miscarriage vs poor embryo development—because the testing pathway can differ. In our evaluation process, we zoom out and look for coexisting drivers that can be treated or optimized before you commit to another cycle, using a careful history, imaging interpreted with endometriosis/uterine expertise, and selective testing when the story fits.

If IVF hasn’t worked despite multiple attempts, reach out to our team so we can review your full fertility timeline and symptoms and decide whether endometritis testing makes sense as part of a broader, actionable plan.
