Hi Kate,

i have been diagnosed with PCOS and Endo as well...was diagnosed at 18 and i got engaged. not because i wanted children but because i fell in love.
my mother did the same as yours and ignored it...because she didnt know what it was and my father did the same. i sort of know what your going through with the family.
Here are my tips...
1. Write down how you feel and speak to your doctor and someone you feel will help you through this (your dad?)
2. might be a good idea to see a councilor for Stress Management- anxiety etc.
3. Read about diet and light exercise, accupuncture and chinese herbs.
4. Discuss this with your Nick...be open and honest about how you feel and how he feels.
5. Read about the conditions and always go armed with questions to your gyno i.e. what are my chances of falling preg, do i have a time limit, how bad is the endometriosis and where is it located, should i have a laparoscopy, will the Pill help (i'm on Dianne 32ed), look into hormone therpy (i'm on Cyperteron) to give you options for pain relief and fertility.

understandably your confused and this is a very difficult time for you and i'm sorry to hear that your going through such a hard time at a young age.
You probably dont have much money being a student so Tramal is cheaper for the time being but look into other options. (i was on Tramal for years as well).
hope this sort of helps.

Have you had a laparoscopy?
