Hi!
I’m Laura.
Thank you so much for visiting my page, and I hope I can support you wherever you are on your journey.
- I had heavy/severe periods from the age of 11.
- I would bleed through clothing, had severe back and abdominal pain, along with vomiting. I thought this was all normal.
- I was put on the pill by my GP to pause my periods.
- Nearly 20 years later, I was ready to start a family and so I stopped taking the pill. I thought it would be easy but my periods returned with a vengeance.
- I was eventually diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis and menorrhagia.
- I ended up having 12 surgeries, including a myomectomy, laparoscopies, and finally a hysterectomy in 2024.
- My husband and I went through 4 failed rounds of IVF (1 NHS round, and 3 rounds with a private clinic).
- I ended up leaving my job in 2023 because my severe periods caused me to exceed the number of absences allowed in a 12 month period.
- In 2025, I lost my lovely mum to Lewy body dementia after a horrific 5 year journey, and then my lovely dad to pancreatic cancer nearly 3 months later.
- It’s because of my own menstrual health journey, and my mum and dad that I felt inspired to support others through their own journeys.
