UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONDITION

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other locations — most commonly on the outside of the uterus, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes. It affects up to 1 in 10 women of reproductive age.

Despite how prevalent it is, endometriosis remains significantly underdiagnosed. On average, it takes 4-12 years to receive a diagnosis often because symptoms are dismissed or mistaken for normal period pain. If you've recently received a diagnosis, you're not alone, and getting here is an important step.

The relationship between endometriosis and fertility is complex. For some people, it has no impact on their ability to conceive. For others, pelvic inflammation, impaired fallopian tube function, or interference with egg fertilization can make conception more challenging. The Béa Treatment is designed to help you maximize your chances at home without hormonal treatment.

Painful periods

Cramping that is more severe than typical and may not be relieved by standard pain medication.

Bleeding between periods

Spotting or heavier-than-usual bleeding outside of your regular menstrual cycle.

Pain during sex

Dyspareunia (pain with intercourse) is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of endometriosis.

Difficulty conceiving

Endometriosis can impact fertility — though for some people, it may have no effect on their ability to conceive at all.

Digestive issues

Symptoms like bloating, nausea, or changes in bowel habits (sometimes called "endo belly") that tend to flare around menstruation.

Pelvic & lower back pain

Persistent or cyclical pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or lower back — not just during periods.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Supporting your body with endometriosis

While there's no cure for endometriosis, several approaches can help manage symptoms and support fertility.

Dietary changes

An anti-inflammatory diet may help reduce pelvic pain and cramping, support hormone regulation, and improve gut health. Focus on omega-3-rich foods like salmon and flaxseeds, leafy greens, colorful vegetables, whole grains, and anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger. Limiting processed meats, trans fats, refined sugars, alcohol, and caffeine may also help reduce symptom severity.

Pain management options

Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen (Aleve) are often recommended as a first step for managing period pain. For more severe pain, your doctor may suggest a combination approach. Note that hormonal contraceptives can help with pain, but cannot be used while actively trying to conceive.

Surgical options

Laparoscopy is used both to investigate and to diagnose endometriosis. It can also be used to remove endometriosis tissue in more severe cases. Your OBGYN can advise on whether this is appropriate for your situation.

Hormone-free

The Béa Treatment contains no hormones — making it suitable for people whose endometriosis symptoms are worsened by hormonal treatments, and for those actively trying to conceive.

An alternative to intercourse

For people with endometriosis who find sex painful, Béa offers a comfortable at-home insemination method that doesn't require penetrative intercourse around the fertile window.

Maximizes each cycle

The cervical cap concentrates semen at the cervical opening, helping more sperm navigate toward the egg — supporting conception even when pelvic inflammation may be affecting the environment.

delivered to the cervix compared to sexual intercourse.¹ By concentrating sperm directly at the cervical opening, Béa gives more sperm the opportunity to reach the egg.

Based on a postcoital test of another cervical-cap device vs intercourse: 11/13 (85%) showed higher cervical-mucus sperm scores; among responders, average 3.23x (Pelekanos, 2015). Not Béa; no syringe comparison. PCT scores are semi-quantitative and don’t predict pregnancy. Results vary.

Endometriosis & fertility questions? We’ve got answers.

See all FAQs

Can I get pregnant if I have endometriosis?

Yes. Many people with endometriosis conceive, either naturally or with assistance. Severity can play a role, and more severe endometriosis tends to have a greater impact on fertility. But the relationship isn't fully understood, and some people with endometriosis experience no fertility impact at all. A fertility specialist can assess how endometriosis is affecting your specific situation.

How does endometriosis affect fertility?

Endometriosis affects up to 1 in 10 women.¹ It can cause inflammation in the pelvis, impair the function of the fallopian tubes, or interfere with egg fertilization. Not everyone with endometriosis will experience fertility challenges, and on average it takes 4-12 years to receive a diagnosis.¹

Is Béa hormone-free?

Yes. The Béa Treatment does not use any hormones. This is particularly important for endometriosis, since some fertility medications can cause endometriosis symptoms to flare and become more painful.

Does Béa work for endometriosis?

Yes, for mild to moderate endometriosis. Whether Béa is suitable depends on the stage of your condition:

Mild endometriosis — Béa is suitable if you have no other fertility conditions.
Moderate endometriosis — Béa is suitable if your fallopian tubes are open and your doctor has not recommended surgery.
Severe endometriosis — Béa may not be suitable. In some cases, a doctor may recommend surgically removing endometriosis tissue before trying to conceive. If you've had surgery and received the green light to try, Béa may be an option.

What if sex is painful?

For some people with endometriosis, intercourse is painful. With Béa, intercourse is not required — semen is collected separately and the cervical cap is inserted by hand. This removes sex from the equation while still allowing the insemination to take place at home.

What are my fertility options with endometriosis?

Options range from at-home approaches to clinical support. You can try naturally while your doctor monitors your cycle, or use Béa at home to help sperm reach the cervix during ovulation. Your doctor may also recommend hormonal treatment beforehand to reduce endometriosis activity (these methods are contraceptive, so they're not used while trying). Surgery to remove endometriosis tissue and, if needed, IUI or IVF are further options. A doctor can help determine the right approach for you.
