00:21 When I was 23, I started to try for a child with my first husband when I was 25.
00:28 For two years nothing happened, so I went to the doctors and they even didn't put me in the right diagnosis in Poland.
00:36 So they only noticed that I don't really have ovulation.
00:40 They gave me injections for ovulation and we were like visiting different doctors.
00:45 Nothing really helped.
00:47 When I was 32, I met my second husband and I thought from the beginning that I have those problems.
00:53 So he knew that maybe we will need to adopt.
00:55 We started very fast to try to get pregnant, but nothing happened.
01:01 So I went to the doctors in Germany.
01:03 Here finally they put the right diagnosis for me.
01:06 It was endometriosis.
01:07 I got an operation and I have a heavy endometriosis, really like a lot.
01:13 And that was also a reason why I didn't have ovulation because of my endometriosis.
01:17 Then when we decided to go for adoption again, that we don't want to do IVF anymore,
01:22 I got pregnant naturally.
01:25 I'm happily 7 months pregnant right now, but it was a real struggle.
01:29 It was not easy and I was trying for a long time.
01:33 I was trying like 15 years to get pregnant.
01:36 So yeah, that's the story.
