cysts on my ovaries

i have recently had to have many tests because my mum suffered from endometriosis which i know you can inherit. anyway after having a blood test & ultrasounds they said it was polycistic ovarian syndrome but now another doctor is saying its just cysts on my ovaries which many women get. i have been trying to conceive for a year + a half now but still no luck. i would love to know how long it has taken others to get pregnant who have unfortunately had/have cysts on their ovaries. im currently 10days late for my period but a test says negative. please help i would really appreciate it! xx

Hi!
From the sound of things, you do indeed have PCOS.  If you were my patient, I would start medications now.  I personally prefer a combination of Femara and Metformin for PCOS patients.  Ask your doctors!

Good luck!
