ARIA-nominated artist shares how endometriosis cost her unborn twins

Taylor Moss lost three pregnancies in a year because of stage 4 endometriosis. Now she is calling for more support.

Taylor Moss was diagnosed with endometriosis at 18. She has had four surgeries.

In the past year, she lost three pregnancies. This included twins where one implanted in her uterus and one got stuck in her fallopian tube.

Her recent surgery unblocked her remaining tube. This gives her hope for natural pregnancy or IVF.

Moss is an independent artist. She has performed on stage while in severe pain.

She took painkillers that barely helped. She said women are often told to take birth control or painkillers and accept it.

Doctors say endometriosis is a complex condition involving hormones and the immune system. It can disrupt sleep, work, intimacy and mental health.

Moss hopes sharing her story helps other women feel less alone. She also wants to push for better support in Australia.
