Imagine what life would be like if you were at the doctor’s office at age 16 and were told you could not conceive. In this podcast, I share the diagnosis, symptoms, and aftermath of PCOS aka Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Endometriosis. In honor of Endometriosis Awareness Month, I share the stats. I am not a doctor. I am simply sharing my personal opinion, knowledge, and experience.
