I had an endometrial ablation last year, as my gyn. thought this was best as I had heavy and long periods coupled with ongoing anemia. He told me that pregnancy after ablation can be difficult. I am wondering If we went through IVF is there a treatment that could help me carry a baby to term? I feel I have made a desperate decision as I was in so much pain every month and my life became so hard, but I really feel we need another baby. Please help
Hi, Thanks for the query. In IVF embryo can be grown to certain stage outside. But after that it should be inserted into uterus and finally endometrium is needed for its growth. So, as your doctor told it may be difficult to continue a pregnancy. You once go for ultrasound. Ultrasound helps in finding out the endometrial thickness. If there is sufficient endometrial thickness left and if it's undergoing cycling changes there is some possibility. If total functioning endometrium was removed, the chances of pregnancy are somewhat less. Take care.
