I've been fine for the most part I think theres a misconception about PCOS out there. Yes, its REALLY bad for some people but in general, if it is being maintained by a doc then it's usually not too huge of a deal. A lot of women think of it as a death sentence when they first get diagnosed but then realize that it's manageable.
For me, I am on metformin to help with my PCOS and honestly, thats the worst part of it for me. It makes me nauseous and have to run to the bathroom every hour for a #2 when I first start taking it. But, after a few weeks or month of being on it I feel much better. (I have had to go on and off of it a few times with my ectopic and such. And each time I have to retrain my body to be on it) It works and I ovulate on my own again. But my ovulation is still at random times of the month which is why I am on ovulation meds now.
So, really, PCOS just makes it a little harder to conceive but it's not a terrible, horrible thing. I think endo is probably harder since there's lots of pain involved. I have some more pain than normal during ovulation but it's nothing unbearable. Unexplained infertility is also probably worse as there is no real reason you can't conceive so there is no fix for it. Atleast with PCOS, there are ways to work around it and I know plenty of ladies who have PCOS and have also gotten their BFPs
