General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
If you have endometriosis and want to become pregnant, ask for a preconception consultation. It allows you to discuss symptoms, concerns and plans with a doctor or midwife.
Endometriosis can reduce fertility in some situations, but spontaneous pregnancy remains possible. Pain intensity alone cannot predict fertility.
Assessment and a care plan are adapted to your circumstances and discussed with you. Bring available reports and mention previous treatments and operations.
Some hormonal treatments for pain work by stopping periods. Before changing a prescription for pregnancy planning, ask your doctor how to organise the transition.
Depending on assessment, the team may discuss assisted reproduction or other options. Surgery is not automatic: its benefits and risks are weighed for your situation.
If pregnancy occurs, tell the team about your endometriosis and history so follow-up can be arranged. Ask about pain, treatments and upcoming appointments.
