One in 10 women of reproductive age is affected by endometriosis. It’s a condition in which endometrial tissue (tissue that lines the inside of the uterus) grows outside the uterus and eventually sheds into the abdominal cavity. Any degree of endometriosis can have a great impact on fertility, therefore it is important that you see a fertility specialist as soon as you’re diagnosed to discuss pregnancy options.

During the live event, hosted by Dr. Lauren Kendall-Rauchfuss, viewers will learn about the causes and symptoms of endometriosis, and the treatments that are now available to help women conceive. With proper counseling and care, the chances of getting pregnant with endometriosis are high for most women.

After the presentation, Dr. Kendall-Rauchfuss will host a live question and answer session.

Many women are unaware of what’s normal and what’s not when it comes to their period. A woman’s menstrual cycle can provide valuable insight to her fertility and overall ability to conceive. Most women with an irregular, heavy, painful, or nonexistent period should not wait to see a fertility specialist. Determining if your period is normal or not can be a very informative part of determining if you should see a fertility specialist.

Join Dr. Valerie Libby for our live webinar event to learn more. Dr. Libby will review the basics of menstruation and ovulation, irregular vs. normal cycles, and who should not wait to seek help from a fertility specialist.

Following the presentation, Dr. Libby will host a live question and answer session with viewers.
