Endometriosis and fertility—what does it really mean for your future?

This is the final article in our 4-part Endometriosis Awareness Month series—bringing together everything you need to know about fertility, pregnancy and planning ahead.

If you’re living with endometriosis, you might be wondering:
Can I get pregnant? Should I start trying earlier? What are my options?

The truth is, many people with endometriosis do conceive—sometimes naturally, sometimes with support. The key is understanding your body and getting the right advice early.

Our latest guide breaks it all down—clearly and without the overwhelm:
✔ fertility facts vs myths
✔ when to seek support
✔ treatment and planning options
✔ how to take control of your next steps.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

No fear. No fluff. Just clear, expert-backed guidance.

Endometriosis isn’t something you just have to “put up with.”

While there’s no cure (yet), there are ways to manage your symptoms, reduce pain, and feel more in control of your body and daily life.

From medications and hormonal treatments to surgery, lifestyle changes and support
networks—your care can be tailored to what matters most to you.

This third article in our Endometriosis Awareness Month series walks you through your options so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Endometriosis doesn’t look the same for everyone.

For some, it’s severe pelvic pain. For others, it might be bloating, fatigue, or no symptoms at all. That’s why recognising the signs early—and knowing when to seek help—matters.

In this second article in our Endometriosis Awareness series, we cover:
• common symptoms to look out for
• when to see a healthcare provider
• how endometriosis is diagnosed
• what to do if you’re not getting answers.

Persistent pelvic pain, heavy periods, pain during s*x, or changes in your bowel habits aren’t things you should have to “just put up with.”

Getting support early can make a real difference to your health and wellbeing.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your body and reach out.

💜 At True, we know health information only works when it meets people where they’re at.

This week, our team shone at A Culture of Health: Multicultural Health Symposium 2026 in Brisbane:

--> Jana Ventura shared youth-led research showing how culturally and linguistically diverse young people navigate s*xual health and how culturally responsive approaches strengthen knowledge and confidence.

--> Paw Tha Thaw Taw, with Anika Skinner-Samad, presented Health in My Language (HIML) — empowering migrant and refugee women to access trusted health information in ways that respect their culture.

Culturally responsive education builds trust, reduces stigma, and has real impact in communities. We’re proud of the incredible work our team is doing!

Painful periods aren’t something you should just have to live with.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness of this common but often misunderstood condition.

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 7 women in Australia, yet it can take years to diagnose.

We’ve broken down the basics of endometriosis — what it is, the symptoms to look for, and who it affects.

Health, connection and community in Gatton. 🌿

Nearly 50 Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) workers came together for a Wellness Day delivered by True in partnership with the Western Queensland Primary Health Network.

With support from 13 local health and community organisations, the day connected workers with information about s*xual and reproductive health, respectful relationships, cancer screening, COVID safety, and local STI screening and treatment services.

Queensland is home to more than 11,000 PALM workers, many based in agricultural regions like the Lockyer Valley. Events like this help strengthen health literacy and make it easier to access the care and services people need.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible, especially our stallholders 💙

Yesterday was International Women’s Day — at True, we’ve been reflecting on two of the women who began helping to balance the scales for Queensland women more than 50 years ago. ⚖️

Our courageous founders, June Morris and Marjorie Millburn, helped open the door to contraception, s*xual health information and reproductive care at a time when these conversations were still taboo.

Their courage helped change lives, their impact is still felt today, and the current team at True are continuing to build on their extraordinary work.
