I'd go with the possible but difficult. I have PCOS and I was able to get PG. I know several people with endimetrosis and they have been able to get PG.
I would say with the combination of the 2 it is possible, but will be harder.

My sister in law has PCO and was told she couldnt have children but had a baby last year. I have endometriosis and have been told i can have children but i suppose it depends how bad she has it. If i was your friend i would strongly recommend she goes to see her G.P and asks to be referred to a fertility clinic. As she has these probs she wont have any trouble being eligible for an appoint. I am seeing a specialist at the moment and she is fantastic. My gynaecologist was helpful with my endo but this doc is an expert in the field of fertility. The doctors there can do tests and give your friend a clearer answer as well as a Little bit of help to conceive. I wish her good luck x

It is possible for her to have children depending on how bad it is. If it is mild then she should be able to conceive normally, and the birth of the child would help clean her insides, it is pretty bad she might need to be cleaned out medically with a laser. Don't remember the proper name for the procedure, but my sister-in-law had it done and now has two girls. She would know by know if it was bad enough for warranting a hysterectomy. So don't give up hope, there is a great possibility for her to be able to get pregnant.

I was diagnosed with pco about 8 years ago. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. - Due to other unrelated medical problems I have miscarried 3 times previous. No problem at this house getting pregnant with pco - in fact this is a birth control baby. SURPRISE!!!

I, and a few women I know, were diagnosed with POCS. All of us were put on metformin to help with the condition. The other two were put on Clomid as well as the Dr.s told them that they would probably not get pregnant with out help. Both are currently pregnant. I'm only on Metformin and my Dr. said that i should be fine to get pregnant on my own with just that.
I would suggest a reproductive endocrinologist that works with a fertility clinic. They will have dealt with any and all types of cases and most often will try to get people pregnant with the least amount of intervention as possible.

I have endometriosis and it can make conception and pregnancy difficult but not neccessarily impossible. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be treated and people do get pregnant.
I have a daughter (now a teenager) but in recent consultations I have been told it is unlikely now I would either conceive or have a succesful pregnancy so I am glad I had my family early.
Tell your friend to keep trying and good luck.

Ask a gynaecologist, who's answer may be a more educated one than this!
However it seems the start of a life is a 'miracle'. Ask your 'friend' if she is having regular sex with a virile male person.
This is a good start, then it's just a case of relaxing and enjoying what life throws at you.
