March is National Endometriosis Awareness Month. ?? Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility, affecting up to 10% of women between the ages of 15 and 44, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often surrounding the reproductive organs in the pelvis and abdomen. Signs of endometriosis may include heavy or irregular periods, painful menstrual cramps, and pain during or after intercourse, among other symptoms. People with endometriosis may also experience difficulty trying to conceive. Your pain is real. Your struggle is valid. If you're living with endometriosis, you're not alone, and help is out there. A fertility specialist can help you understand your options and create a treatment plan tailored to your journey.

The Fertility Institute ?? Does it feel like fertility treatment might be the next step on your journey? If you’re exploring Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), understanding the differences can help you feel more confident in your next steps. Whether you’re an individual or part of a couple, knowing your options is empowering! ? IUI: This minimally invasive procedure places sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing common barriers and increasing the chances of fertilization. It’s often a great option for male-factor infertility, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and single parents-to-be. ?? IVF: A more advanced treatment, IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the body and transferring a developed embryo into the uterus. It offers a higher success rate for infertility cases, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and those pursuing biological parenthood. ?? Every journey is unique, and we’re here to support yours with expert guidance and a personalized treatment plan. Click the link to learn more! https://lnkd.in/eDPjCjVP #Fertility #IVF #IUI
