In our BONUS 135th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with two guests, Meg King and Hayley Anderson, all about their endometriosis journeys. Endometriosis is a condition that affects so many women; we couldn’t speak about it from our personal experience, so we thought why not bring two amazing guests to share their personal stories with you!

- When did Hayley get her first period? And when did her periods start to cause her problems?
- What are some ways that Hayley managed her pain?
