Yes, I was diagnosed with both PCOS and endometriosis 20+ years ago. I am now 43 (yes, Very old !) and have now also got a fibroid, adenomyosis and adhesions.

I have three beautiful children.

Good luck to you.

I haven't got PCOS but I do have a number of things going on inside. For example, my womb is extremely retroflexed bending back towards itself and resting on my spine causing bad back pain, my womb is 2.5cm smaller than it should be meaning if I get pregnant I will give birth around 6-8 months or miscarry, my cervix is bent the wring way making intercourse almost impossible, I have cysts on my ovaries but not diagnosed as PCOS, I have Endo on my womb, cervix, bladder, bowel and sciatic nerve and possible adenomyosis. I think when women have Endo it doesn't just stop there, we end up having a number of different things going on that no one seems to understand. It is most definitely normal to have PCOS alongside Endo, a lot of things to do with the pelvic region are usually related and possible to get when you have Endo. I also feel like my body is telling me that my womb can't handle a baby so I shouldn't have any but it doesn't mean I'll give up. We can all overcome this and we may have our days where we want to shout and scream and cry but we pick ourselves up again and start all over, we're strong women and we wouldn't have this condition if we couldn't handle it.

Hope you feel better soon hun,

Leya xxxx
