Fact or Myth? There is a higher incidence of birth defects in babies born to mothers who have Endometriosis.

Myth!

“About 15 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. In cases of untreated extensive endometriosis, the rate of miscarriage may be increased. For women whose endometriosis has been treated, the miscarriage rate seems to be the same as for women without endometriosis. There is no evidence linking the presence of endometriosis to birth defects. Care may be necessary, however, to avoid conception while a woman is receiving hormonal treatment for endometriosis. These hormone preparations could affect a developing fetus adversely.”
