Pain. Fertility. Inflammation. Earlier Answers.
A Live Virtual Education Forum
When symptoms are dismissed…
When IVF fails without explanation…
When pain is called “normal”…
The search for answers can take years.
Join a panel of leading physicians and patient voices for a grounded, evidence-informed conversation about endometriosis, uterine inflammation, and what earlier clarity can change.
📅 Thursday, March 19
⏰ 5:00pm PDT
📍 Live Virtual Event (Zoom Registration Required)
Why This Conversation Matters
Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women.
Diagnosis takes an average of 7–10 years.
Some women experience severe pain.
Some women experience infertility.
Some women experience both.
Some women experience neither — and still have the disease.
Inflammation can exist quietly.
Implantation can fail without an obvious cause.
Surgery can be delayed — or performed prematurely.
This forum will bring together multiple clinical perspectives to discuss what is often overlooked and how earlier insight can shape better conversations between patients and providers.
What We’ll Discuss
This is an educational panel designed to elevate understanding. It is not a promotional webinar.
Topics include:
• Why endometriosis diagnosis is often delayed
• What “silent endometriosis” means clinically
• The impact of uterine inflammation on implantation
• When surgery is indicated — and when it may not be
• How fertility specialists evaluate unexplained IVF failure
• What earlier clarity changes — and the importance of recognizing symptoms
Our goal is a focus on understanding endometriosis, how to advocate for diagnosis and the options around management and treatment.

Hannah Sanders
Fertility Journey Advocate & Patient Voice
