AI Article Synopsis
- Women with endometriosis benefit from using oral contraception for 6 to 8 weeks before undergoing assisted reproduction treatment (ART), achieving similar results to those without endometriosis.
- Patients with endometriosis who don't use oral contraception prior to ART see significantly worse outcomes.
- Pre-ART use of oral contraception does not negatively affect ovarian responsiveness to stimulation, even for those with poor response and endometriomas.
Article Abstract
In women with endometriosis, including those with endometriomas, 6 to 8 weeks of continuous use of oral contraception (OC) before assisted reproduction treatment (ART) maintains ART outcomes comparable with the outcomes of age-matched controls without endometriosis. In contrast, ART outcomes are markedly compromised in endometriosis patients who are not pretreated with OC. Ovarian responsiveness to stimulation was not altered by 6 to 8 weeks' use of pre-ART OC, including in poor responders with endometriomas.
