Hi shell... I have been blessed (NOT) with both endo and PCOS. My PCOS is very mild but endo very severe. My endo went undiagnosed for sometime and wasn't diagnosed until after 6 rounds of clomid and 1 failed IVF cycle. Basically neither were going to get me pregnant with all the endo in there. Basically my F/S recommended that i could have a lap/hyst, but he didn't think that i needed one as he was sure i didn't have endo... it wasn't until IVF egg pick up that it proove very difficult to remove the eggs that he was certain my ovaries were caught up in endo... a future lap confirmed it and 2 major ops later to rid it.

The other thing about clomid is that it can cause, any endo to 'flare' up. It did for me and made my periods unbearable to the point where i was certain i was having m/c. Some days i would have to stand in the shower and just let the blood run out it was so heavy (sorry if TMI) It almost resembled a 'crime'scene!


Basically I would ask for a lap/hyst as it will improove your chances of conception if the endo is gone, also it will put your mind at ease also, knowing that they have had a good look in there. I have certainly learnt from my mistake.

Good luck'
