Common endometriosis medications suppress ovulation and have teratogenic effects, but may preserve fertility by reducing disease activity and preventing new implants, though other methods are ultimately needed for pregnancy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

It must to keep in mind that those common administrated drugs couldn’t help to restore the fertility potentials and in fact during their usage pregnancy cannot or should not be happened, regarding to inhibition of ovulation or teratogenic effects; of course by their administration with remission of disease (suppress the growth and activity of previous endometriotic implants) and reducing the chance of new peritoneal seeding, fertility may be preserved better; but at the end for achieving pregnancy other ways should be used.
