Her cycle started painful, heavy, and irregular. She thought it was normal and was told this was just something she had to live with.  We chat about how the symptoms start to build as time goes on until the time that endo pain becomes daily. How the pain can vary from day to day and month to month.  She often had cyst ruptures. We also talk about why do we second guess ourselves when we know the pain is real?

Listen in to her story here.

Rebecca joins us on the show to share her story with endo. Her pain was normalized and was told her pain was in her head. She was dismissed many times, told to get pregnant (which is a myth and not a cure for endo), and had pain, as well as heavy bleeding from a young age. We also talk about medical care in South Africa. We talk about how strong & incredible people are with endo. 

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