Despite endometriosis, unsuccessful IVF attempts, and having only one fallopian tube, she became pregnant using OvulaRing

Interview Q&A

Dear Lisa, what health issues have made it difficult for you to have children?

My name is Lisa and I’m 31 years old. When I was 23, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. My condition had already spread quite extensively, meaning that other organs were also affected. This resulted in numerous surgeries and a colostomy. Unfortunately, I also experienced repeated relapses, as this disease is not yet curable. In 2015, my husband and I visited a fertility clinic for the first time. There, we were assured that we only through artificial insemination can become pregnant.

So you tried that, then. How did it go?

We didn’t want to waste any time, so we immediately started trying countless hormone therapies. It was a very exhausting and stressful time. We started with IVF, switched to ICSI, and were finally rewarded with embryos. Unfortunately, I never got pregnant, and none of the other cryotransfer attempts resulted in a single positive test.

But then things got even worse…

Exactly. In 2018, I had emergency surgery, during which I unfortunately lost my left fallopian tube. According to the surgeon, the right one was in very poor condition as well, but it wasn’t removed. Our hope of having the child we longed for grew smaller and smaller. After more than 10 abdominal surgeries, we had pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that we would never become parents. All the hormones had completely thrown my cycle off its natural rhythm. I just couldn’t stand the side effects anymore, so I started looking for a natural method.

So how did you end up at OvulaRing?

While searching for a natural method, I came across OvulaRing attentive. At first, I wasn’t sure if I’d even be able to use it, given my chronic pain. I saw on Instagram that they were giving away a ring, so I quickly entered the giveaway. And as if fate had willed it so, I actually won it! I was so happy and used it right away. Before that, I always used these ovulation tests I’ve been using trackers that never showed that I was ovulating. I always thought there was something wrong with me. So many questions: Why don’t I ever ovulate? Could I already be going through menopause?

How exactly did OvulaRing help you?

Thanks to the ring, I could immediately tell that my body was doing everything right! That really helped me regain a lot of confidence in my body. After my third cycle with the OvulaRing, my period didn’t come. That wasn’t unusual for me, but I suddenly started feeling very nauseous, and eventually I took a test—which showed me right away POSITIVE Wow! I’m actually pregnant, and we still can’t believe our luck.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

I’m so grateful, and I highly recommend OvulaRing. It’s a real HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Not only in the Time to Start Trying for a Baby, but also for natural, hormone-free birth control and to get to know your cycle. It’s super easy to use, and any questions that come up are answered quickly and professionally. The whole OvulaRing team is very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for everything!
