After the Diagnosis: Processing PCOS, Endometriosis, and Other Fertility-Impacting Conditions

More Than a Medical Report

Getting diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis can feel like stepping into an unknown future. Your doctor hands you test results and treatment options, but what no one talks about is the emotional earthquake that follows. The fear. The anger. The “why me?”

These diagnoses don’t just affect your ovaries or uterus—they challenge your identity, body image, and your sense of control. They can make you question your femininity, your timeline, and your worth.

The Unspoken Side of Reproductive Diagnoses

You may find yourself wondering:

  • Why does my body feel like it’s betraying me?
  • Will I ever be able to have children?
  • Why does nobody around me seem to understand how hard this is?

Mental health support after a diagnosis like PCOS or endometriosis is not optional—it’s essential. Without it, women often carry silent grief, resentment toward their bodies, or persistent anxiety about the future.

At Paloma Care, we offer space to:

  • Grieve a diagnosis without shame
  • Rebuild a compassionate relationship with your body
  • Develop coping skills for managing the uncertainty

Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place of clarity, strength, and emotional recalibration.
