Steps for IVF with adenomyosis

Current medical knowledge has taught patients that they will generally feel depressed after they have adenomyosis. In addition to making patients suffer from a long-term fate worse than death and seriously affecting their work and life, this disease is not easy to treat and is more likely to lead to infertility. However, with the development of science and technology, the technology of in vitro fertilization has become very mature. Data show that the natural pregnancy rate of adenomyosis patients is about 10%, and the IVF pregnancy rate is 30-40%. Therefore, there are many adenomyosis patients who need IVF. Let us use a case to let everyone understand the steps of IVF for adenomyosis.

I have had endometriosis for 6 years. First, I had uterine fibroids (as big as eggs) and bilateral ovarian cysts. I had an open abdominal surgery in 2010, and then the adenomyosis recurred. From 2010 to 2014, I kept trying to treat the adenomyosis, but it kept getting bigger, until my uterus grew to 8CM-9CM. Looking back, I am already 35 years old and have never been pregnant. From the age of 28 to 35, the most prime years of my life, endometriosis has been plaguing me. I only received treatment for it, so I have come to the conclusion that endometriosis is very prone to recurrence and cannot be cured. When I tried both Chinese and Western medicine, I found that they were not curable and my condition was getting worse. So I met a doctor who told me to try IVF. The second experience I learned is that endometriosis does not conflict with having children. You don’t have to cure the endometriosis before having a baby. (God knows why I had the weird logic that I had to cure the disease before I could have a baby. At this point, the money I spent on the treatment was enough for two IVF cycles, and the most important thing was that it delayed a woman’s most precious years.) When I found a reproductive doctor, my disease was already very serious, and my uterus had grown as big as if I was three months pregnant. We can only try our best to save the situation. Upon examination, it was found that the ovarian function was declining, a sequela of bilateral ovarian cystectomy. Only one ovary was ovulating, and it was declining like that of a 40-year-old woman. So, experience four, don’t move your ovaries easily. After the operation, your ovarian function will usually decline.
