Have you suffered from fibroids, endometriosis, or surprise diagnosis? Our guest Brittney Jackson has.Brittney and her husband began their family expansion in the late summer of 2017 when Brittney stopped birth control. Brittney was no stranger to reproductive organ issues before 2017. She states that her menstrual cycles were painful for much of her life and she suffers from fibroids and recurrent cysts.Brittney sought the help of her ob/GYN after some time and in 2019 she and hubby completed a few rounds of medicated clomid cycles, unsuccessfully. Shortly after, Brittney was diagnosed with a blocked fallopian tube. While her doctor performed surgery to remove her blocked fallopian tube, endometriosis was found, which explained the years of painful periods. Through all of this, Brittney remained a faithful and devoted bonus mom of two. Brittney Jackson is a media professional, daughter, sister, aunt, wife, bonus-mom of two, entrepreneur, infertility advocate, and sufferer. Brittney is the host of "Fertility Aint Fair."
