In this episode, your host Amber-lee, speaks to Danni-Leigh about her experiences and challenges with infertility living in rural Queensland, Australia, receiving a late diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the emotional rollercoaster of navigating in-vitro-fertilisation (IVF), and the unforeseen emergency surgery to drain her ovaries and remove her fallopian tubes.
Throughout the conversation, Danni sheds light on the physical, emotional and financial toll infertility takes on her life. She speaks candidly about the unspoken struggles and longing for a family that she has been fighting for relentlessly for years. With refreshing honesty, Danni addresses the lack of education surrounding menstrual cycles and conditions like PCOS, emphasising the importance of early education about our bodies for empowerment, particularly when wanting to start a family.
Danni also delves into the loneliness, anger and sadness during her IVF journey. By sharing her vulnerabilities, Danni highlights the need for greater understanding, empathy, and support for those battling infertility.
