As far as endo symptoms go, I was having extremely painful cramps throughout my cycle. As far as the bleeding went, it was pretty heavy until I got on birth control, and when I went off it last year, it was lighter, where I'd have 2 days of spotting before my period, 1 heavy day, 3 lighter days, and a pantyliner only day. Now the past two months, I've had 1 day of pre period spotting, 1 heavy day, 1 light day, and 1 pantyliner only day.
I have not conceived yet, and I am 6 days into my 13th cycle of trying. Part of it was not knowing when I ovulated(the traditional mucus and temping method was not working for me), so I got the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor, and have used that for 3 cycles so far. It's a lot easier when you know you've ovulated.
Now given the fact you have a diagnosis of PCOS, I second the recommendation of seeing an endocrinologist because those guys can definitely figure something out. It could very well be a combination of PCOS and endometriosis. I know a couple of people who have both.
