"It can be very challenging, especially with endometriosis or something chronic, or infertility issues like I've struggled with,"
"How do you bring that up to someone new and hope it doesn't scare them away?"
"I was having to explain... about injections and surgeries, and all of that, very unsexy topics to be talking about,"
Sophie, 29, who has endometriosis, began freezing her eggs because of potential fertility issues and visited a fertility clinic with her new partner on their third date. Endometriosis causes tissue similar to the womb lining to grow outside the uterus, producing pelvic pain, heavy periods, pain during or after sex, fatigue and possible infertility. The condition affects around one in 10 women in Wales. There is no cure, but treatments include surgery to remove lesions or affected tissue and other measures to relieve symptoms. Sophie said she felt compelled to be upfront about injections, surgeries and fertility challenges, and credited her partner's support.
