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 collection of real IVF success stories submitted by patients who overcame difficult fertility journeys. 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. People are much more likely to share success stories than unsuccessful ones, so they should not be interpreted as evidence that any particular test, treatment, protocol, or clinic caused that success. Always discuss treatment decisions with your fertility specialist.

After three failed transfers of euploid embryos, this patient discovered she had hydrosalpinx. After surgery to remove her damaged tube, she spontaneously conceived identical twins — and is now 14 weeks pregnant.
Eight fibroids were removed in an abdominal myomectomy after a failed transfer. Just five months later, a donor egg embryo led to pregnancy.
A day 6 mosaic embryo led to pregnancy at 41 for a patient who had undergone trachelectomy, faced cancer, and endured 13 IUIs and multiple losses.
