Tips for getting diagnosed

Hi

It was suggested during a scan that I was borderline whether i have PCOS. I'm trying for a baby and although I have endometriosis it should not affect my fertility and I'm wondering if I do have PCOS and this is not helping. We've only been trying for 5 months but each month I get more sick with the endo so really want to maximize my chances and not knowing if I have this is stressing me out. When I went to the GP they told me they wouldn't test me as even if I had it they wouldn't do anything as only a fertility clinic would do this is this true? The doctor I saw is quite old fashioned and I'm wondering if its worth trying another doctor at the surgery and pushing the issue.
