My journey to being diagnosed with endometriosis, with all the twists and turns!

In this bonus episode, I am opening up about my recent personal journey of being diagnosed with endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting reproductive organs and other parts of the body which can affect a woman's fertility and general health and wellbeing. This condition affects 1 in 10 Australian women. 

In this personal recount of experience, I open up on how I pulled the pieces of the puzzle together and worked out I had endometriosis which started about 5 years ago.
