Ep.214: Endo Surgery, Recurrence, and Still No Baby: A Real Case Study — Natural Fertility with Dr. Jane

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: drjanelevesque.com/application.

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

If you had endometriosis surgery, were told “everything looks great,” but 6-18 months later you’re still not pregnant and your symptoms are creeping back, this episode is for you. I walk through a real client case to show why surgery alone often isn’t enough, what her functional labs were really saying through a fertility lens, and what we are doing next to lower recurrence and move her toward pregnancy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Surgery removes the tissue but never removes the environment that caused it to grow in the first place
If you haven't conceived within 3 to 6 months post-surgery, that's a red flag worth investigating now, not at 18 months
High beta-glucuronidase in the gut means your body is recycling estrogen, which directly feeds endometriosis recurrence
A general functional practitioner without a fertility lens will likely hyper-focus on the wrong markers for an endo patient
Estrogen dominance, sluggish digestion, and low secretory IgA are connected patterns, not isolated problems to treat separately
Developing PCOS and endometriosis can co-exist long before any conventional diagnosis is made
