Leesh presumed that one day she would have a child. At 18, she fell pregnant, but unfortunately, a stressful incident resulted in a miscarriage. Decades later, after years of wanting a child, she was diagnosed with a non-cancerous tumour and told that her pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage in 1998 had triggered her brain into a phantom pregnancy. Leesh unknowingly could not fall pregnant, as her brain thought she was already pregnant, and the body does not allow a woman to fall pregnant again. She tried to conceive with different partners and had numerous tests and doctors visits, but sadly no explanation could be found for her childlessness.  In 2011 after being in a state of Phantom Pregnancy for 11 years, it was diagnosed, and Leesh was put on treatment to correct the issue. Eventually, her health issue was resolved. However, she had now entered into perimenopause; now, she is childless and postmenopause. Leesh has had emotional decades dealing with her childlessness, plus society and its devaluing of childless women, and now dealing with her menopause.
