What you're describing here sounds like endometriosis to me. I don't know as much about it as PCOS, but a search online should give you a lot of information. Basically uterine cells get outside the uterus (like into your bowel) - and although they're not in your uterus, they still act like uterine cells. So, they build up and shed a lining, like having a period. But the blood has nowhere to go to escape your body. That can cause the pressure and pain. It's particularly suspect because this seems to happen when you have your period. Endo also would explain the irregular spotting.
