Episode 9 - Facing the odds and Endometriosis, with Holly
In this episode of the "My Story" Podcast, we had the opportunity to hear from Holly. Holly has been diagnosed with endometriosis. 1 in 10 women suffer from the disease, and most take 7 years to receive a diagnosis. In Holly's case, it is causing unexplained infertility. She opens up to us about her experience with 'Edno' and how she has managed to keep a positive mindset. Holly also shares some amazing tips for looking after yourself if you suffer from Endometriosis.
During our time together we will discuss:
- In Early 2019, after trying to have a baby for 5 years, Holly was diagnosed with stage 2 endometriosis (or 'Endo').
- The signs and symptoms Holly experiences during her menstruation cycle.
- Holly defines Endometriosis.
- In general, Holly is healthy in her eating, exercise regime.
- Holly's Endo causes Retrograde menstruation, meaning her eggs cannot be properly released.
- Holly's mental health suffered as a result of her infertility causing depression, anxiety and insomnia.
- Taking the steps to complete the less known method of IUI (intrauterine insemination).
- After un-successful rounds of surgery and fertility treatments, Holly almost gave up hope.
- Holly found unity and support when she attended a new fertility clinic, Life Fertility Clinic, and has started several rounds of IVF with Dr Glenn Sterling.
- There is no cure for Endo, however, there are support groups. We've listed all Holly's best go-to support connections below.
- Holly had her incision surgery just after she turned 30.
- Holly's tops items for managing pain: Magnesium spray or gel, Peppermint tea, Heat packs, Warm baths, avoid highly processed food, drink plenty of water and most important Rest, rest and rest!
- Holly regrets not listening to her body and wished she had pushed Doctors for answers sooner.
- Sympathy vs Empathy when looking after an ill loved one.
Without the support networks Holly sought out, she may have given up her journey to motherhood Holly encourages us all to keep going, no matter what we face.
