I've been diagnoised with PCOS for a little over a year now and am starting to have more pelvic pain then before.

My dr is thining I could also have endometrosis along with PCOS. Is this common to have both PCOS and endometrosis?

PCOS can lead to endometriosis. I dont know if it is common though. But endo can be caused by estrogen dominance and PCOS can cause estrogen dominance.

I have family history with endometreosis and I also have PCOS. I get very bad pain, especially when I need to empty my bowel (gross I know). My mum had this and she thinks I have endo as well. I read somewhere that people can have it anywhere!

I too have endometriosis and pcos. I was diagnosed with the endo first about 5 1/2 yrs ago and I was diagnosed with pcos 3 years ago. so yes it is possible to have both. Hope this helps.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
