Endometriosis: What Really Changes When You (Finally) Get Pregnant

If you’re familiar with our site, you know that getting pregnant has taken a lot from my husband and me, surgeries, IVF, hormonal injections, and years. So, growing our family was a long and tough process for a real desire and a lifetime dream.
My doctors never agreed with the whole “pregnancy cure endometriosis” theory, and I don’t either (I’m actually already fearing the big come back), but whilst carrying my son, it’s true that I felt much better, and energized as my body wasn’t constantly fighting anymore. Don’t get me wrong, pregnancy can be wearying, and may take a lot from you from one day to another, but it’s far from comparable to living with endometriosis.
However, please, always keep in mind that getting pregnant to “cure” endometriosis is not something you should ever do, having a child is a real responsibility, and a forever change in your life.
Pregnancy is not a cure to endometriosis, and chances are, your endometriosis will unfortunately come back once your period resumes.
