“It wasn’t in the plans yet, but we went for a pre-conception visit to see if everything was okay, and I found out I had endometriosisThat’s why my ovaries and low ovarian reserve hurt a lot, aggravated by age, ”he said.
This disease is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which can cause fertility problems.

The treatment
The model said that it is a very expensive process and that the Isapre covers very little of it.
“There are women who have been trying various fertility treatments and go into debt, pay credits, cards, and on top of that they don’t have their baby. At least I pay for it and I’m happy that I have my baby growing up “, he claimed.
In the treatment, “what is done is that it is fertilized in a laboratory with a sperm from him, luckily everything was fine”.
“It is also sent to analyze, to see that there is no disease or anything. I also did many studies, a series of injections, everything is planned and luckily it turned out. We are very lucky, ”he said.
“I was full of fears”
The process generated a lot of uncertainty in her, so she joined a support group of a foundation “which has been very helpful to me.”
“I was full of fears regarding motherhood, that it was great and that it would not work,” she acknowledged.
To that concern, the pandemic and possible infections were also added. “I am more confined than an only child, because I did not get vaccinated when we started the treatment, so I am like a hermit working here with the computer. I don’t go out, ”he said.
Endometrosis
It is estimated that about 15% of the female population of reproductive age around the world suffers from endometriosis.
Although the causes are not clear, the symptoms are described as chronic pain in the abdominal area, dysmenorrhea (very painful periods), irregular vaginal bleeding, dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse) and, in many cases, infertility.
Despite all the above, women who suffer from endometriosis say that one of the most complex facets of the disease are the social, family and work effects it produces.
