Well, its 2:30 am and I can't sleep. I went to the doctors today, because my husband and I have decided its time to get pregnant. I was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago (just after marriage) but was put on birth control to regulate my cycle - no big deal. Or so I thought. Today's appointment was very illuminating, as was the rest of the day spent online learning about what I had. Two years ago it sounded minor. Today, its devastating. My husband has always wanted children, and has waited patiently for me to want them too. Now that the time has come, it seems almost cruel to find out that it might not be possible. I know I am very lucky - we haven't been trying long, and we still have lots of options left. Its just hard to know that we might not be able to have kids because of me and my body. I feel broken.
I'm so very glad I found this site however. Its been very informative (so that's why: my breasts are such different sizes, I have to shave my chin, I lose weight at the speed of a rampaging glacier, etc.) and its so full of wonderful, supportive people. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and answer questions. It really does help to know I'm not alone. I have come back to this forum many times today, and I'm sure I'll be back many times in the near future. Its been soul-quenching to hear from all you "cysters." I think I can sleep now...

Welcome Jennyblue!! Yes, with pcos it can sometimes be a challenge to get pg. BUt just take a look around here and you will see that it is possible!!! Hang in there!!
jennyblue,
I understand how you feel because i feel the same way. My husband has always wanted children as do i. The first time i found out that i had pcos, my heart dropped and i couldn't even look at my husband because of the thought of not conceiving. Well, even though that was 1 year ago, my husban has been very supportive of me and tells me that he loves my no matter what. Stay positive and strong. there is a lot of helpful advice here.
