TL;DR
Superovulation seems to be associated with a better cycle fecundity rate but not a better CPR than expectant management in infertile women with endometriosis stages I and II.
Abstract
Superovulation seems to be associated with a better cycle fecundity rate but not a better CPR than expectant management in infertile women with endometriosis stages I and II. The efficacy and side effects of this therapeutic approach should be evaluated in larger series.

Treatment with IUI in hMG cycles, alleviating the need for invasive oocyte retrieval, should be considered for inclusion in a randomized, controlled trial in comparison with IVF-ET and GIFT.

It is found that aneuploidy is associated with a poorer clinical outcome in Stage 111 disease, regardless of the amount of residual tumor after primary surgery and the degree of cellular differentiation.

120 Citations1987Eric J. Thomas, I.D. Cooke
This study failed to show any impact of treatment or the absence or presence of asymptomatic endometriosis on future fertility compared with patients with unexplained infertility, and the findings therefore question any causal role of the disease in infertility.

It is concluded that cycle fecundity rates and cumulative pregnancy rates are significantly greater using a combination of hMG and IUI compared with either modality alone in the treatment of male factor, cervical factor, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility.

It is suggested that infertile patients with minimal endometriosis should be given an opportunity to conceive after laparoscopy, D and C, and tubal lavage, particularly in older patients where a 6-month delay in permitting attempts at conception represents a significant interval of time.

Characteristics of follicular development and hormonal patterns were evaluated in 17 women with minimal endometriosis and 11 with unexplained infertility and found women with unexplainedertility had lower LH surges and a trend to a shorter follicular phase.

The carbon‐dioxide laser used laparoscopically provides a precise and virtually bloodless technique for the vaporization of endometriotic implants in the pelvis and patients may be treated at the time of diagnosis with less need for medication and no delay before conception is attempted.

87 Citations1988Sakari Telimaa
In summary, correction of infertility alone does not appear to be an indication for the use of danazol or MPA in the treatment of endometriosis, and ovarian endometricriotic lesions but not peritoneal ones do make a worse prognosis as regards fecundation in endometiosis.

Pulsatile treatment is recommended in the treatment of welldiagnosed and carefully selected cases of incomplete IHH, as the pump proved to yield better results, compared with intermittent injections, in respect to endocrine responses, spermatogenesis, and fertility capacity.

It is suggested that a trial of induction of multiple follicular development be performed in couples with male-related or unexplained infertility before their inclusion in protocols for invasive procedures, such as IVF or gamete intrafallopian transfer.

The results obtained after the 12th month showed that the group treated with AID had a CPR of 80.9% and an MFR of 0.201, much higher than the grouptreated with EM, in which the CPR was 47.5% and the MFR 0.060.

Glandular and stromal mitoses, basal vacuolated cells, and the ciliated:nonciliated cell ratio were significantly reduced in the endometriosis group compared with the controls, and further studies are needed to clarify the role of the observed endometrial anomalies in the pathogenesis of infertility associated with endometRIosis.
