Pregnant with Endo & PCOS: Marika’s Story [EP 20]
Manage episode 464053247 series 3613373
Each fertility journey comes with unique challenges.
My client Marika was diagnosed with PCOS at 22 and subsequently endometriosis and diabetes.
After many unsuccessful egg retrievals, doctors told her there was nothing she could do, so she started working with me.
I supported her through her IVF journey and subsequent pregnancy.
We focused on diet, lifestyle, and sleep as non-negotiables in fertility care.
In this episode, Marika talks about her experience, the crucial temporary shift in your priorities, and the lack of education in women's health from fertility doctors.
