Abstract
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) was performed on women with tubal disease only (28 women, 40 cycles), endometriosis grade I (15 women, 24 cycles), grade II (25 women, 37 cycles), grade III (26 women, 36 cycles), or grade IV (31 women, 52 cycles). Rates of oocyte recovery and fertilization were not affected by the presence of endometriosis. Pregnancy rates per cycle were similar to that of the tubal group (18%) for women with grade I (13%) or grade II (14%) endometriosis, lower in women with grade III endometriosis (6%) and significantly reduced in women with grade IV (2%, P less than 0.05).
