177: Cassie Norris was born without ovaries & needed eggs donors to start a family
2023-06-04
Cassie Norris lives on her family cattle station in the far south west corner of Queensland. Right now, life looks picture perfect with her and her husband raising their two beautiful little girls. But there is an extraordinary and heartbreaking story behind the happy smiles you see today. Cassie was 15 years old when she discovered she born without ovaries- and her condition meant she'd have to seek egg donors if she ever wanted to fall pregnant and start a family. Cassie went through IVF hell. It took 5 years, thousands of kilometres of travel, 10 embryo transfers, and three eggs donors to have her two girls. And the twist? There was a simple test and procedure she could have had that would have changed everything. This is her story.
