EF#1: My Endo Fertility Struggle Changed my Life

Ethan and Lizzie - Endofertility Specialist

In this debut podcast episode, I wanted to share a bit about myself and my personal journey with Endometriosis, which took 25 years to get a diagnosis, my struggle to get pregnant, and how I finally became pregnant and gave birth at 39 to our miracle baby. There is too much to tell in one episode, but I give you the basics, and other bits will come out during future episodes I am sure.

I wanted to tell you my story, as I want you to understand why I understand how you are feeling, the frustration, fear, anger, sadness, pain and so much more. I want to give you hope and empowerment that you can make changes to your health and increase your chances of getting pregnant as you increase your fertility. I have learnt so much about myself on my healing journey. I want to share how my diagnosis has since changed my life, how it helped me heal so many of my symptoms, and how I then decided I wanted to change my career to become a nutrition and health coach and help other women with their own Endo Fertility struggle.

Here are some of the episode highlights:

  • My unexplained fertility diagnosis and persistence to find out more
