closer,

Amidst trying to live your life the journey to a diagnosis and subsequent treatment can be a hard one -- especially if you're juggling work, school, etc

Remember that pcos is a syndrome which means that it's a combination of symptoms that lead to the diagnosis rather than a single test that indicates a disease. The combination of symptoms you describe are typical of PCOS. You might want to consider finding another doctor - an reproductive endocrinologist, an endocrinologist, or just another ob/gyn.

As for endometriosis - a good gynecologist with endometriosis experience will recognize that the ultrasound doesn't tell the whole story and will order a laparoscopy to diagnose and treat.
