Recurrent IVF failure can be a heart-wrenching experience, leaving many couples feeling lost and uncertain about their next steps. If you’re one of them, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into the complex world of endometriosis and uterine factors, exploring how they impact IVF success and what you can do to improve your chances.
Endometriosis: The hidden culprit
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions. This can affect up to 50% of women with infertility, making it a significant contributor to IVF failure.
How endometriosis affects IVF?
- Poor egg quality: Endometriosis can lead to chronic inflammation, affecting egg quality and quantity.
- Implantation failure: Endometrial lesions can release toxins, making it difficult for embryos to implant.
- Uterine receptivity: Endometriosis can alter uterine contractions, making it harder for embryos to attach.
Endometriosis & Uterine Factors in IVF Failure
Uterine factors: The forgotten piece
Uterine factors, such as:
- Uterine polyps: Benign growths that can interfere with implantation.
- Fibroids: Tumors that can distort the uterine cavity.
Adenomyosis: Endometrial tissue growing into the uterine wall, leading to heavy bleeding and infertility.
The Interplay between Endometriosis and Uterine Factors
Endometriosis and uterine factors often coexist, making it crucial to address both issues simultaneously. For instance, women with endometriosis are more likely to have uterine fibroids or polyps, further complicating IVF success.

| Cause of Recurrent IVF Failure | How It Disrupts Implantation | Investigation or Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Endometriosis | Inflammatory environment in pelvis alters egg quality, fallopian tube function, and uterine receptivity | Laparoscopy + excision; pre-transfer suppression with GnRH agonist |
| Submucous fibroids or polyps | Protrude into cavity; mechanically block embryo from implanting | Hysteroscopic resection before next IVF cycle |
| Uterine septum | Embryo implants on poorly vascularised fibrous septum tissue | Hysteroscopic septum resection; wait 3 months before transfer |
| Thin endometrium (<7 mm) | Insufficient blood supply and thickness for embryo to embed | Extended oestrogen prep; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion; HRT protocol |
| Adenomyosis | Myometrium invasion causes junctional zone dysfunction, disrupting embryo attachment | GnRH agonist downregulation for 3–6 months; consider surrogacy if severe |
