In episode 8 we talk with the amazing Olivia. Oliva has suffered from PCOS and endometriosis since she was a teenager, which has led her to needing 6 laparoscopic surgeries all before the age of 28. She conceived her first baby naturally which was much to her surprise, she then went on to experience secondary infertility and go down the path of IVF.

Olivia’s journey includes in the ups and downs of IVF, loss, failed implantation, feeling unsupported from her clinic and then having to go into artificial menopause to try and help her embryos have the best chance of implantation.

Olivia’s journey has been a long 5 years but she is not giving up yet, she has shown us that when you put your mind to anything (even putting yourself into a form of menopause) anything is possible!
