Sinéad Wade is a writer, advocate and survivor of a decade-long battle with endometriosis and infertility.

Inconceivable is her debut memoir.

Inconceivable began as the book SinÉad needed when she was at her lowest point - in the middle of infertility treatment, living with undiagnosed endometriosis, and feeling utterly alone.
The book that changed everything
Inconceivable is a raw, intimate and ultimately uplifting memoir tracing Sinéad’s painful journey through endometriosis and infertility. As she balloted to be heard in a system that routinely dismisses women’s pain, Sinéad discovers a resilience she never knew she possessed.
It is the story of a decade spent fighting for answers, navigating loss and learning, slowly, that she was worth fighting for.
Told with warmth, candour and a chatty easy to read style, Sinéad invites readers directly into her world. Her story offers solidarity to women who have felt dismissed, unseen or alone in their suffering and empowers them to speak up, seek answers and trust their own bodies.
Endometriosis and infertility affect millions of women. And yet most of them are still waiting - for a diagnosis, for answers, for someone to believe them.
This is not just one woman's story.
1 in 10 women have endometriosis
It takes an average of 8 years to receive a diagnosis
Endometriosis is as common as diabetes - but receives a fraction of the research funding
70% of women with endometriosis report a direct and debilitating impact on their sex life
[For you to add: stat on visits to GP before being heard / any other stats you want to include]
Sinéad is here to change that. Through her writing, her speaking and the community she is building, she is making sure more women are heard.

the JOURNAL
Eight years. That is the average length of time it takes for a woman to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis. Eight years of pain, and of being told it is normal.
Why It Takes So Long to Diagnose Endometriosis →
Before I went through IVF, I thought I knew what it involved. What I did not know - what nobody really tells you - is what it does to you on the inside.
What Nobody Tells You About IVF →
I was a teenager the first time a doctor told me that what I was feeling was just part of being a woman. It took years - and a stage four endometriosis diagnosis - to understand how wrong they were.
