I think for me, what was the most frustrating about it was that for so many years I was complaining of the terrible pain and doctors just shrugged and said it would go, or I was having "a bad cycle" - FOR YEARS?! EVERY MONTH?!
My GP often said "pain isn't a symptom of PCOS (WHATEVER!!!!) and endometriosis only cause painful periods"...right...
I actually had one doc tell me that I couldn't have both PCOS and Endometriosis...
I actually now believe that I have been through more endo symptoms than PCOS, and that now my PCOS is nearly gone/ under control enough.
My Ultrasound scans showed my ovaries to be clear whilst I was on the pill, but I think when I went on the mini pill, some cysts developed perhaps, but I had lots of endo on the back of my ovaries, tubes and uterus, so it's not surprising I was suffering. Also, ultrasounds don't often show endo, unless the growths are very large.
