Becky... I know how you feel

I have severe PCOS and recurrent endometrosis. Like you with no symptoms. (except irregular and very painful periods) I was told at 17 that I would NEVER have children. Now I have 3 children all conceived naturally.

There has been so many advances with PCOS, talk to your gynae. I have had a laproscopy and a cystosopy to scrap away any thing that they could. Regarding the cysts there is a procedure called ovary drilling..here they drill tiny holes through the cysts, this does not remove the cysts but temporarily disables them so eggs can be released. The beauty of this treatment is that they do not chip away at the ovary, you still have 2 viable ovaries.

Please do not give up....THERE ARE OPTIONS FOR YOU, I know how upsetting it is and how angry you feel.  Now you know the problem you can start sorting the solution, and there are solutions!

 If you need any help or have questions... I am here, just PM

Hiya hun, I was diagnosed with PCOS as a youngster - 14 years of age and was told I would never conceive. 

I was hospitalised at least once a month for pains. 

I had a laparoscopy at 18 which showed the cysts had vanished of their own accord. 

2 years later DD was conceived and is now 22 months old and I am 10+1 weeks pregnant. 

There is a lot they can do in your situation. 

Good luck hunni
