Still have the PCOS as well...I'm scared. I really need information from people that have both...what do the cards hold?
After I came to, I immediately began having a panic attack. It's frightening. I need support to help me get through this...I feel like I'm a woman, but one totally effed up.
Thanks.

Hi laura
I also have both and have done for about 4 yrs now, i totally understand where you are coming from and it is very upsetting i too have struggled with this as your hormones are all over the place! it took my doctors 3 yr to diagnois me with this! they treated the endo with danazol 6 month course that stops your periods all together so that it can shrink the area of the endo, it doesnt completely get rid as it can return at any time! but that was the first point of action with me and seemed to have worked, before the course i was having alot of pain and periods every 3-5 months maybe longer now i average on about every 5-6 weeks but that is down to the pcos!
Have faith there are lots of treatments out there for both and your doctor will find the one that is best suited to you! i have to live with the pcos as i am trying for a baby now and have been for a little while but recently came accross a message board about vitex and dong quai so i am now trying that, if you ever need to chat dont hesitate to contact me.
take care and keep your chin up hun x
