83. Did not have pain but had stage 4 endometriosis that was discovered during her fertility journey and now has her "miracle babies."
Join me today as I chat with Jill; we talk about her treatment with Clear Passage and how it helped her on her fertility journey. Jill did not have any pain with her cycles- she did have heavy bleeding, and her Mother had endo, but because she did not present with the pain, she did not think she could have endo. Jill started to have cysts and pain when she started fertility treatments which led her to three surgeries and a stage 4 endo diagnosis. She wanted to find alternative methods to help her, and she went to Clear Passage- Larry joins us to tell us more about the method they use to break up adhesions and scar tissue. TW: we do chat about pregnancy loss in this episode Thanks to Jill for sharing her story.
