Alexandra Bennett, from Kidderminster, was diagnosed with endometriosis 18 months ago EVEN as a teenager, Alexandra Bennett somehow knew she would have problems getting pregnant when she was older. She had suffered with debilitating period pains throughout her late teens - some were so strong she would pass out in agony - but the contraception and pain relief doctors prescribed had little effect. It took around four years for Alexandra to be diagnosed with endometriosis. She woke up from surgery 18 months ago only to be told the news she had always feared - that she would be unable to conceive naturally.
