Hey laura, followed you for a few years! I cant have children, i cannot have ivf, i have pcos, endometrial hyperplasia, and peecancer in the whomb! I totally understand and feel your pain! Thankyou for speaking up. No one deserves to go through the pain! Your amazing! X

[@samgeorgesunny]

Hi Laura, stage 4 endo and miscarriage last year. Got our funding approved for ivf last year but by some miracle got pregnant naturally. Our rainbow baby was born this august. He is worth all the years of heartache and pain. I really hope the same happens to you xxx

[@imlaurabradshaw]

I'm so happy to read this - thank you for the hope! Sending so much love and thank you for the kind comment xx

[@gabstar9009]

Thanks for being so candid and vulnerable. As someone that has been there and done that (ttc for 3 years, being diagnosed with pcos, undergoing ivf and very luckily now having a 2 month old) these videos are so reassuring and make people feel not as alone. I searched them out and still do because it’s such a big part of life that needs to be discussed more as you say. Wishing you the very best in your ivf journey, it is scary, lonely and uncertain but I have faith things will work out for you!!!

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm sorry you had to experience a tough journey to motherhood, but I'm so pleased you have your 2 month old now. Sending lots of love! xxx

Hi. 4 miscarriages in raw. Undiagnosed endometriosis which my doctor found out after 3 IUIs and during IVF egg retrieval ( biopsy). I can’t believe how many women go through this and never know what causes their pain. I’m so sorry and stay positive;)

[@BeYouWithLou]

I subscribed just watching this video alone, I have endometriosis and I have had losses. It is mentally and physically draining, it is so nice to see someone else being so open and honest about it. Thank you Laura.

[@imlaurabradshaw]

I totally understand how draining it is - I have felt this way often too. Sending you so much love xxxxx

[@nicolechang918]

I’m a stage 3 endo girl :) I’ve done 3 cycles in the US, one was covered by insurance. I found out about endometriosis after my first chemical pregnancy. I’ve learned a ton and am not giving up!! Keep going 😍

[@Handbagqueen23]

I love your courage and commitment to help others and raise awareness of fertility issues, you are so beautiful Laura and it just shows through so much in this video. I am praying that you get your hearts desire

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Ah thank you so much for such a kind comment - it really means so much xxx

[@karolinak566]

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Xx

[@michalinapuskarczyk8383]

All the best for you and your husband! I’m sorry you have to go through this! 🧡

[@imlaurabradshaw]

thank you so much xxx

[@alisonmonson8978]

Good luck on your journey! I was just curious, as my sister has endometriosis and has been unable to conceive, though she’s in her mid-30s. You’re very fortunate to have ivf available to you, as it’s very cost-prohibitive in the US. It’s kind of a weird irony that I have 3 kids, but have just recently become a single mother and don’t have a lot of money, and her life is the opposite, minus the kids. But I have experienced 2 miscarriages and 1 stillborn, and those were difficult…. anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. I know how stressful and emotional that whole journey can be. ❤️

[@boredoutmybrain]

I'm dealing with my 2nd miscarriage right now. Both miscarriages came about after IVF. I'm unable to get pregnant naturally. But then again I'm unable to stay pregnant through IVF. It's shit.

[@imlaurabradshaw]

So sorry to hear this, I know how hard it all is and I'm sending you so much love xxxxxx

[@kelleyxoxofoley3376]

Hi laura ..you are amazing how honest and open you are ❤️I was lucky to have three children by c/section but the scars have made my endometriosis worse I haven’t obviously had it as as bad a some but the pain can me horrendous and definitely got worse after the surgery..lots of love and luck on your journey you will make a amazing mum ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Thank you lovely and sending you so much love too! x

[@vivacefrancesca]

I have just start my journey too (fellow endo warrior)! Very scared about if all so nice to hear others talking about it ❤️

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Sending you lots of love! x

[@chrisjeslin4608]

Hii Laura, I have stage 4 endo, did laparoscopy, trying naturally no luck yet and planning to do ivf. Can you please suggest any good private fertility clinic in uk?

[@ness1078]

Thanks for doing this video. I'm due to have a laparoscopy in 3 weeks. Have you had one for your endometriosis? It would be good if you could share your experience with one.

[@imlaurabradshaw]

Hey Ness, yes I did have a laparoscopy - I will film a video on it soon if it will help people! :) I hope yours went okay x

[@namiellame4488]

Going through the same pain. Stage 4 endo and failed IVF. I really want to know if there’s any natural or medical treatment (not surgery) to prevent miscarriage. Please share any insights 🙏

[@PachoH]

The supplement NAC. You can take it safely during pregnancy. It also helps detoxify the liver which is needed for us with endo. I've my second FET the end of this month hopefully. Healthy & happiness to you x

[@inefabilis12]

Find a good endocrinologist and check your hormones. Women with endometriosis tend to have lower progesteron levels. Natural progesteron (utrogestan in Belgium) is safe to use during pregnancy. If endometriosis is affecting the ovaries or the tubes, surgery is required. Please check with a fertility/endo specialist in that case.

[@namiellame4488]

@@inefabilis12 - Thank you for sharing. I have been through excision surgery and ct guided drainage as well. Nothing helped! I’m worried about fertility treatments failing. I don’t know what’s causing it and if it is from inflammation or something else…

[@namiellame4488]

@@PachoH - thanks for sharing. I had NAC for some time but I don’t think it helped with my ovarian cyst. I am not sure if it is even available over the counter (in my region) anymore.

[@PachoH]

@@namiellame4488 have you tried serrapeptase?

[@eprohoda]

Interesting content!))),

[@auroracharming5531]

I have never wanted kids and had no idea about endometriosis, I thought it meant sore periods, or how difficult the IVF process was. I expected that regardless of were you live you would get help from the NHS. This has been eye opening, wishing you all the best.

[@imlaurabradshaw]

There is not much awareness of endometriosis it’s a horrible disease, but it does cause painful periods also. Thank you so much x
