A Scots woman who suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis is embarking on an IVF journey with her partner in one last bid to conceive the child they have always dreamed of.
Lianne Stobo has struggled with heavy, irregular periods since the age of 14 but it wasn't until her 20s when she was diagnosed with the debilitating conditions which have seen her hospitalised in pain.
Over the years, the 32-year-old from South Lanarkshire has undergone two operations to remove cysts from her ovaries and 'burn away' the endometriosis, meaning parts of each ovary have been removed each time.
