Facing the risk of losing her uterus due to large fibroids, she underwent a 5½-hour surgery to remove 9 fibroids. Years later, IVF led to 3 healthy children, including one from a trisomy 16 mosaic embryo.
IVF Success: Uterine issues
Stories involving fibroids, uterine polyps, thin lining, adhesions, or uterine septum that impacted embryo transfer or implantation.
💬 These stories are part of the Uterine Wall of Fame — a growing collection of real IVF success stories submitted by patients who faced challenging scenarios like poor-quality embryos or low AMH. The UWOF is a project by Remembryo / Embryoman, a site that highlights new IVF research. All UWOF posts are free to access (no subscription required).
⚠️ These stories are personal experiences, not medical advice or scientific evidence. Success stories are more likely to be shared than unsuccessful ones, so they should not be interpreted as proof that a treatment works. Always discuss treatment decisions with your doctor.
