Natalie was prescribed the pill for a few years to ease her endometriosis symptoms, but she came off it in a bid to manage her condition naturally. She and her partner Alex started trying for a baby as soon as they got married. Natalie suspected she had endometriosis but a succession of doctors didn’t think that she had ‘all the symptoms’. One even suggested she should get pregnant to relieve the pain.Even though she had not been formally diagnosed, Natalie felt her symptoms may affect her ability to conceive when she began trying for her first baby. After trying for a while, the couple underwent fertility tests that concluded they were suffering from ‘unexplained infertility’. They decided on a course of fertility treatment, which was successful the second time, and Arthur was born last December.Read the full story here: moredetails.uk/3PD3A2K

Endometriosis can block the fallopian tubes and may have implications for IVF treatment if it affects the function of, or access to, the ovaries.Find out more here:

We have recently partnered with Fertility Network UK, to support its Fertility in the Workplace initiative, which aims to help employers understand what they can do to support those members of their workforce who may be struggling with infertility. Past patient, Carlene, benefited from a workplace fertility policy and has shared her story with us in our latest blog post.Carlene and her husband, Lewis, had been trying for a baby for five years and were told they would need fertility treatment after Carlene was diagnosed with endometriosis.Thankfully, her employer had a fertility policy in place, which meant she was allowed paid time off for appointments, scans and the IVF treatment itself.Treatment was successful on the second attempt and the couple are now the proud parents to two-year-old Leo.Read more about their story here: moredetails.uk/3TLt9RO
