Hey just wondering if anyone else has the two conditions and if you no much about it?

I've just been told today I have P ovary as well as endo.. Obviously more scared about my likely hood to have children ...

Any info would be great

Thank you lady's xxxx

Yes, I have both and have been lucky to have three children. Although I did struggle to conceive.

My Endo is much more troublesome now. (I'm very old at 42). The PCOS effects me by giving me oily skin, weight problems (although I do blame the cake and chocolates too), and cysts on my ovaries.

I have been on fertility drugs and I have also had ovarian drilling!

Please feel ask any questions and I will do my best to answer.

Best wishes,

Hi,I've been diagnosed with both too.the pcos has been pushed to the background for years and everything was put down to endo but now,at 35 and having problems I'm being re tested for pcos(I've got a scan today and very nervous).i have a little boy who s nearly four,I had fertility treatment before having him and I conceived naturally at the end of last year but I unfortunately had a miscarriage.my symptoms have been worse ever since.im beginning to panic now because of my age and things getting worse I won't be able to have another one but I'm getting referred for treatment.i have very infrequent periods,shows of old blood and light bleeding at times,I feel swollen,tired,I've put on a bit of weight and I've noticed more hair growing above my top lip.sometimes I feel down but try and stay positive.if you want to chat that would be good.x

I have both too! But quite new to all of this so im still trying to figure it all out too. I have suffered for years but only just had my first lap to remove endo from my US Ligaments and POD in September, still in pain now, worse than before!!!

So I get periods about every 6-11 weeks, no pattern at all! But Im in pain for pretty much 80% of the time, feels like the day before a period everyday. But when I get a period they arent even that heavy, but soooooo painful:( Sometimes i might get a week pain free after before the process starts again. Its weird though, im not overweight, im underweight and cant put it on. And im a little but hairy, but not too bad

Then I have all the Endo symptoms too....painful bowel movements, painful intercourse, and just lots of pain in general etc

So its like I have a bit of both conditions! I have only just got diagnosed so would be really good to hear about other ladies that have both and what this means

I have no children yet, but would really love to. Im 29 and been told I shouldnt put it off for too much longer. But they need to put me on fertlity drugs (Clomid??) to make me ovulate

I have pcos and endometriosis , im 22 had both since 14 years old diagnosed with endometriosis in 2011 pcos when i was 15 years old , i have no children and been told it will be unlikely for me to have children naturally but there are other ways BUT! just because that is my situation it dont mean its the same for you there are lots of ladies out there with pcos and endometriosis and they go on to have many children, im seeing a fertility specialist.
