Endometriosis is a common disease in which the tissue that is similar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body. Up to 10 per cent of women suffer with endometriosis at some point in their life with the disease often starting in teenagers. Symptoms are variable and this may contribute to the seven to 10 year delay in diagnosis. Common symptoms include pelvic pain that puts life on hold around or during a woman's period. It can affect fertility. While endometriosis most often affects the reproductive organs, it is frequently found in the bowel and bladder and has been found in muscle, joints, the lungs and the brain.

Having been diagnosed with endometriosis at the start of 2018, she underwent surgery hoping she would be able to have more children. 'I had the surgery, and typically doctors say that you really need to fall pregnant within the first six months after,' she told New Idea. 'That's your best chance because the endometriosis hasn't started to grow back yet. She continued: 'The next step for us was IVF. So to fall pregnant in the fifth month – we just felt such relief and gratitude.' The painful condition, which affects one in 10 Australian women, made it difficult for her to conceive.
