Contraception/Endometriosis/Inferttility

So I've been diagnosed with endometriosis since 2008, awaiting my 4th surgery on 15th May during which they were going to replace my coil. However I decided I wanted it removing and to see what my body did naturally as it's been 25 years since I haven't been on any hormonal contraception...not an issue until I've entered a new relationship where we both hate condoms (both been STI screened before we stopped using them)

HOWEVER I had fertility screening last year privately as part of a health MOT and was told that I have barely any viable eggs and that the ones I do have are very low quality (my fertility age is around 50 despite me being 37).

My partner has children already but even though we are in a fairly new relationship isn't averse to having more so originally the plan was to have my coil removed and see if nature took its course - with my low egg numbers I was fairly sure it wouldn't happen but the quality issue has thrown me - I really don't want to run the risk of foetal abnormalities if I can help it as I know I'm not mentally strong enough to deal with that

I just don't know what to do...
