Where do I even start with this episode…   This is the episode to listen to if you have Endometriosis and have ever wonder about how it will affect your fertility.    This is the episode to listen to if you have ever wondered about contraception, and its long term affects and implications on the body.   This is the episode to listen to if you have ever felt discriminated against in the fertility game because of your BMI.   Listeners this is Maddi…    Maddi and her husband lived in rural Queensland. They loved their community and wanted to make their home there. Maddi dreamed of raising their own little cowboy or cowgirl in this vibrant community, enjoying all the spoils of outback living. However, that’s not to be. See Maddi and her husband have had to move to Sydney to continue their fertility treatment, a decision thrust upon them due to travel, cost, and access to health care services.     Maddi’s story is remarkable, and she is inspired to share it because she wants others to learn.    Learn to ask more questions and ask them again. Learn to do your research. Learn how to speak up. Learn how to say no, to challenge medical professionals if something doesn’t feel right. Learn how and where to get a second opinion and. Learn that it is never just a straightforward quick little keyhole procedure…   Maddi has been through it all, and just when you think you have heard it all, she goes around again. Maddi strength and termination is evident throughout this chat, and it is a testament to the women, sister, friend, and wife she is, along with the mother I know she will be.    Strap in because this is a roller-coaster. As always thank you so much to Maddi for sharing her story, we wait with her in shared hope for her good news. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
