Over the past few years Endometriosis awareness has increased significantly, and with it the understanding of how debilitating it can be and how it can affect a woman’s fertility.

Now imagine going through that fertility journey, while also having to lose 60 KG and doing so without a partner.

That is just the tip of the iceberg of Jo Bird’s journey that we will be hearing about in today’s episode.

In this episode Jo shares:

-      Just how long it took to get an endometriosis diagnosis

-      The shocking number of surgeries she has had to endure to treat endometriosis

-      What motivated her to lose 60 kg and how she did it

-      Her IVF journey and what it was like doing it as a single woman

-      What it was like finding out she would be having twins

-      Her pregnancy journey as a single woman

Key Quotes

“Watching my brother and sister have children, I was over the moon happy for them but at the same time I just wanted it to be me.”

“I have had people judge me. Not to my face. I’ve heard second hand the reason why certain friends aren’t contacting me anymore is because I made that choice.”
