"Kissing ovaries" is a term used when both ovaries become stuck together behind the uterus due to endometriosis adhesions — it's a sign of more advanced endometriosis. It can make conception more challenging, but it doesn't automatically mean pregnancy is impossible.
Many MyEndometriosisTeam members with advanced endometriosis have gone on to have children, both naturally and through assisted reproductive technology like IVF. Every journey looks different.
Some paths that members have explored include:
- Surgical treatment to remove adhesions and free the ovaries before trying to conceive
- IVF after consulting with a fertility specialist
- Natural conception following surgery, depending on the extent of the condition
It's really worth having an open conversation with a specialist — ideally one who focuses on endometriosis and fertility — to understand what options make the most sense for your specific situation.
While the road can feel daunting, stories of success do exist, and advances in reproductive medicine continue to improve outcomes. You're definitely not alone in navigating this. 💛
