Is it possible that you have PCOS? The two conditions are so closely related, that they sometimes go together. I'm not sure which causes which, but one of the hallmark signs of PCOS is irregular periods- especially cycles where you do not ovulate.

hi kellly i have the same problem as you and have beem#n trying to get pregnant for yrs now with no joy! now i have been put on hormone tablets that are like HRT and i doubt it will ever happen!! my god life crap with this problem xx

I have PCOS and endometriosis and I also don't ovulate for anywhere from 40 to 60 days. After my laparoscopy to remove endometriosis, my doctor put me on Femara, which gets me to ovulate by day 18-20. I also take Metformin and progesterone supplement every cycle.

I am 29 years old and I have pcos and endometriosis. I have had it for 12 years now. I have had a laparoscopy and have had my ovaries drilled. I was always irregular until I had the drilling done. No most of the time with endo. and pcos 90% of the time you don’t ovulate. They both go hand in hand and cause a series of other issues over time. I have been to 3 different specialists for it and done a lot of research. The PCOS will cause excessive hair growth sometimes especially on the face, arms, and other parts of the body. With Endo. you have severe low back pain, low abdominal pain, and pelvic pain also Pain with sex, and sometimes severe after sex. When you do have a period it can be extremely painful and irregular bleeding, Sometimes heavy sometimes very light. I also have severe tenderness in my breast around time for me to start. Most people with endo and pcos either both or one have a very difficult time getting pregnant. Most of the time you can't get pregnant. Sometimes you do. If you do you have a high risk of miscarriages, and other pregnancy illnesses. Along with endo. and pcos you may develop PMDD or depression and anxiety it’s caused by an imbalance in your hormones. Depending on how active the endo is. There is a test that can be done to determine how active it is. The PCOS can cause you to gain weight and develop diabetes, it causes your body to produce too much insulin. I’m not trying to discourage anyone form trying to conceive best of luck with it. If you think you have a chance of conceiving now don’t wait go for it. Especially if you have just been diagnosed with endo or pcos. Wait as long as you can before you have a lap. Done because it leave tremendous scar tissue which over time can cause more problems for you. If you don’t want children and are diagnosed with this and they want to do surgery have a complete hysterectomy. It will prevent other problems later on. Hope this helps. If you want to know more let me know. I will do my best to help. GOOD LUCK!!!

i read your post and i am due to have a lap next month i am 18 and i reead how u said it leaves lots of scar tissue??? sorry to act the dummies but will this mean it will be hard for me concieve because as you can imagine i would love to have children in the future but will a lap put me at risk of this? also if you could tell me any more about the procedure and what to expect i would be so thankfull

Don't worry so much, I had severe Endo when I was a teenager, had my 1st Laporoscopy at 20, went on Danizol for 4 months( stops your periods) then waited a few motnhs and got pregnant on my first try, that was with having endo, scar tissue and adhesions, most of the dmamge was on my right side, the left side had no cyts or endo so I was lucky, when u have Endo you are probaly better off starting your family when you are young like early 20's cause it usually gets worse as you get older and adhesions and sacr tissue will impair getting pregnant but start early and do whatever your doctor tells you, even if like me it means going on horrible male hormoes to stop your period for a few months, it worked 4 me...good luck & try not to worry so much I know lots of woman with endo tha hve kids!

Hey,Iam 25 years old and diagnosed with Endo.at the age of 20, but all through my teenage years I had horrible cycles.The doctor put me on some kind of shot(dont remeber the name)that would stop my cycle.But when I got off of it about 3 or 4 months later my cycle started back.Since I was dignosed I haven't been on any type of medication. I know that I need to be on some type of hormone med's.Now I'm scared that it may be to late for me to have kids. I'm really not sure about how sever my case was,but I think they told me I was on level 3 with my End. Can anybody give me some feedback on what I should do know,and if it's to late?

Thanks!

kimben1, don't be scared that it is to late to have kids, read my post which is right above yours, I had a really bad case of Endo and after a Laparoscopy and Danazol for 4 months, I waited several months and then tried to get pregnant, I did in fact get pregnant on my first try which shocked me but as I said I know other girls/women who also had really bad case of endo & got pregnant but we all had kids when we were in our early to mid 20's, not to say that it is not possible in later years but endo does have a tendancy to get worse over the years and yes adhesions & scar tissue if near the tubes & ovaries can hinder pregnacy but try not to worry about it so much, I had so many ppl tell me my chances of becoming pregnant were nill and I have a son in his 20's now so don't give up!
