Can I use medical therapy while trying to get pregnant?

Most medical therapies used for endometriosis symptom control are hormonal, which typically suppress ovulation. Because of that, they’re usually paused when you’re actively trying to conceive, and they generally don’t increase the chances of conceiving without assistance.


If you need symptom relief while pursuing pregnancy, our team can help you focus on non-hormonal options and align your plan with your fertility goals and timing. We can also talk through when it makes sense to pause medication, how to manage symptoms during that window, and what next steps may be appropriate if pregnancy isn’t happening as expected.
