Let me just say i'm so happy that I found this board but yet I'm so sad today. A little background about me. I was diagnosed with PCOS in November 2008 after 10 months of TTC. I always had irregular periods since I was a teenager but I was told the solution was always the BCP. It only became a bigger issue when I was trying to conceive. In November I finally saw a gyn/ob who explained that the irregular periods, facial hair and weight problems were PCOS and did blood work to confirm it. I was so scared to hear that yet kinda relieved. I was put on metformin and was so excited when I got a period within a regular time in the first month. That excitement was short lived. I've now had 4 months of regular periods yet no baby.
Needless to say, today when I got my period I started to cry. It just feels hopeless. I really am thinking that I'll never ever have a baby and that makes me so sad. As well these last three periods have been horrible. Sorry if this is a little to graffic but they have been so heavy with thick clots and painful and long. So along with being depressed over the period and no baby I feel miserable. It also doesn't help that people keep reminding me that i'm getting old and should start thinking about getting pregnant (I'm 31) and only a few close people know we are trying.
Have you looked into Clomid? Sounds like it has been helpful for many PCOS ladies TTC. Check out the TTC threads on here, there are lots of supportive & helpful people on those threads that can probably offer you some advice. And remember it may take a few more months to get your body in full "working" order.
So sorry you are feeling down. We are all here to help! Go talk to your ob or re and see if they can't help you get the ball rolling faster. But I know how you feel. DH and I were married for 8 years and I was 28 so people were like when are you ever going to have kids.....your going to be to old if you keep waiting. I was so tired of hearing it and it hurt to hear it also. I was trying but I did not wear a big shirt that said TTC on it so I was like you only very few people new it and it is not just something you go around telling every one. Good luck!

Don't be discouraged yet. There are tons of different fertility options to help TTC. Get your DH tested too. You're not too old. I had twins, my first children, at 31, and now at nearly 34, I'm TTC one more. You still have several years before you really need to start worrying about age. Have you made an appt with an OB or RE to discuss your concerns?
I'm so sorry, Jenny. I understand what you're going through though.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful replies. It's nice to know that there are people out there who understand.
No I haven't gotten DH tested yet. He's pretty apprehensive to do that but I know he will if we are advised to. I have already made a follow up opointment with my ob/gyn. She has said in November when I was diagnosed to come back in after 4 months and we will discuss options. She had said that if I still wasn't ovulating that I could take clomid. My fear is that since I've been regular with my periods that I have been ovulating and I'm just not getting pregnant.
If that is true I will be pretty upset. I'm very limited on what they can do to help me get pregnant due to my history. I've had numerous stomach surgies due to an illness a couple of years ago and can never do any procedure laproscopically because of scar tissue.
I know I just need to be patient and take each day as it comes. It's just so hard when you want something so badly.
I will definately check out the TTC board. Thanks again. It's helpful to talk to people who know what i'm going through. Jenny
