Over the Australian Summer months I’m publishing 3 ‘reading lists’ for different topics, where I into the archives looking for articles on the topic and briefly summarise the content.
In this reading list I’m looking at fertility. Here are 5 articles all discussing different aspects of your fertility and how it relates to Endometriosis.
How inflammation affects your fertility and how diet can help
If you’ve been reading my articles, you’ll know that Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease. So in this article I want to delve a bit deeper into how this inflammation affects your fertility and how you can use your diet to reduce it.
So what role does inflammation play in your fertility? Well, in two roles: an indirect and direct role.

4 things about how Endometriosis affects your fertility
When you have Endometriosis and you know you want children, you might be worried about how it affects your fertility.
And yes, Endometriosis does pose some challenges for your fertility, but it does not necessarily mean you’ll be infertile.

When should you start to work on your fertility?
When you have Endometriosis, your fertility will be affected. It doesn’t automatically mean that you will be infertile, but you are likely to find it more difficult to fall pregnant.
But the good news is that nutrition can help to improve your fertility! But when is the best time to start working on your fertility?
Well, that depends on where you are in your fertility journey:
- Are you already trying?
- Do you plan to start trying in about 6-12 months?
- Do you know you would like to have children at some point, but not anytime soon?
Your approach and when to start is slightly different for each.

Egg quality: why it is key in fertility and how Endometriosis affects it
Reduced egg quality is the key factor in fertility for women with Endometriosis and/or who are over 35 years old. What is egg quality, and why is it so important? And of course, what can you do to improve it?
We are born with all the eggs we’ll ever have. When we were a foetus in our mother’s womb, we already had all the eggs we’d ever have, around 6 million in fact. But when we were born there were around 1 million left and by the time you hit puberty there are around 300 remaining. Then each cycle, around 300 to 400 eggs start a maturing process with usually only one egg remaining for ovulation.

3 Steps to optimise your ovulation and your chances of falling pregnant
If you are trying to fall pregnant naturally, spending some time considering how to optimise your ovulation is important. After all, it has taken your egg around 4 months of hard work to get ready for it.
Ovulation happens when a follicle in the ovary empties itself and the egg ‘jumps’ from the ovary into the Fallopian tube. It then travels down the Fallopian tube, where most fertilisation takes place, to the uterus.
There are a few factors that can hinder the ovulation process.
