**trigger warning we talk about pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy  & miscarriage. 

Lauren now 29, from Hampshire, UK began to have heavy periods and pain at age 11, her Mum did as well. She thought this was normal. At 14 years old she began birth control and remained on it for 14 years.  (changes pills often and not tolerating it well) Her sister has PCOS.

She was in and out of A & E with pain over the past 7 years. Where nothing was found to be wrong with her. 

We chat about NHS, the medical system in the UK, and how a doctor laughed in her face, which provoked her to demand the correct referrals and treatment.  

Listen to the rest of her story here.
