What endometriosis feels like (with a top fertility nurse and lived experience)

What endometriosis feels like (with a top fertility nurse and lived experience)

What does it feel like to have endometriosis? Is there a cure? Is surgery always needed? Does endometriosis make you infertile?


In this episode of Too Much Information, guest Lucy talks through her life with endo: from years of misdiagnosis and excruciating pain, to surgery, recovery, and concerns about family planning and the future.


Answering the questions she has along the way is Francesca Steyn, an award-winning, outspoken fertility nurse who's taking a stand for women suffering with endometriosis.


We discuss what endometriosis really is, how it impacts your body and mental health, why it takes so long to be diagnosed, and what to do when you feel ignored by doctors.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone who is:

  • ​living with endometriosis
  • ​worried they might have endometriosis
  • ​preparing for laparoscopy surgery
  • ​struggling to get a diagnosis
  • ​supporting a loved one with endo.
