At 26, Charlie Dreaver was given a deadline. 
 
She was told she should start trying for children before she turned 30. 
 
The deadline, which was the result of an endometriosis diagnosis, meant she suddenly had to reassess her life plans. And fast. 

Now, within months of her 30th birthday, her deadline is looming. Charlie's sharing her story in an RNZ In Depth series. She talks to Jesse about why she's putting her personal story out in the public domain.
