Endo & PCOS

[Nicola2401]

Hey ladies,

Just wondering if anyone here has both endo & PCOS? Bit of background, I had a lap in May last year to remove endo and have been experiencing hauntingly similar symptoms over the past few months, so had a pelvic scan last week which I got the results for today, which revealed I have polycystic ovaries.

The doctor has referred me to a gynae to discuss next steps, but I can't help but feel quite sick at the thought of having both conditions, especially as I'm 28 and, well, I was about to say have kids in the near future, but may have to now re-think my timings!

If anyone on here has any advice or experience with this I'd be really grateful xx

Hi, I was diagnosed with endo at 21 (2006) and pcos last year I also have a bicornurate uterus but I do have 3 children, 9, 3 and 1, my first was done thru fertility treatment my 2nd started as treatment but was immediately taken of when my bloods came bk showing my thyroid antibodies were thru the roof I was put on thyroid meds’ in April an found out in June I was pregnant (natural) my 3rd was unplanned and a total shocker did not think I wld fall pregnant when it wasn’t planned n prepared for , my endo specialist dr says to me it’s a miracle I have 1 baby let alone 3, my insides are mess, having all wat I have should have made it impossible for me to any children. I know everyone not as lucky as I have been but don’t give up on having kids they can do lots to help you these days xx

Hi, thank you so much for your response, and I'm so happy for you that you've managed to have 3 lovely children, that's fantastic thank you also for the reassurance, I've just made an appt for next week with my surgeon who did my lap last year to ask him about next steps - I know there's lots of options out there available but it's like a whirlwind and knowing which option may/may not work best. Thanks again for your message xx
