I feel depressed and extremely upset and emotional when I found out my sister in law got pregnant or my friends who didn;t try and get preg. I also vented my frustration of my own infertility on my hubby. I screamed at him as if it was his fault that he didn't want sex when I wanted...I really feel bad that I am so unreasonable. I really thank god for giving me such a supportive hisband...I know he also wanted to start a family but he didn't pressurised me at all.
I understand how you feel, gal.
We just need to learn to cope with our emotions. Vitamins b3 helps

As my period is late for like 2 weeks, I did a test this morning and it was negative. My period is so very irregular and hence, I am not sure what to expect. Now, I can feel the period cramp, like uterus contractions pain. Depressed.....:(
i have also been binching on chocolate and cookies...And putting on weight. All these just made me more depressed as I am fat now. All my clothes are tight and sometimes can't even breath in them. I am not sure if pcos patient get fat easily?

Hi dear debbie,

u r not alone in putting on weight and getting upset over the weight increase... I am just as fat with pcos.

My specialist says that pcos patients easily put on weight and have a hard time losing them. It's not like people who dun have pcos, whereby they follow a diet and exercise they can manage their weights.

My sister is getting married in july this year and she plans to try for baby immediately, though I would be very happy that she becomes a mum, I would feel very miserable over my condition and infertility...

It's easy to talk than go through life with this situation where u face people who just ask u how many children just by looking at ur size.

And worse would be people who talk about u behind u or infront of u, making fun or trying to be nice about ur health and infertility...

It's a real roller coaster of emotions....... Which I hate to go through....... But already in the middle of the ride...

But some successful stories of real people will definitely boost my self esteem....

Being a teacher and seeing young children at class makes me dream about my own children and make me wonder what will my own children be like?

I completely understand where you guys are coming from. Infertility is so hard. I too have pcos. We started trying for #1 right away and by a miracle got pregnant the second cycle. Then after my son was born, I gained 60lbs. My cycles went crazy. So we tryed for over two years for #2, three rounds of clomid. We had an appt to see a re on jan 16th. I found out on the 14th of january that I was preg! My beta was very low (23) so they did another one two days later and it was 74! I am still sooo early, but it does give me hope. I ovulated on the 28 or 29th day of my cycle and got preg. It can happen. We weren't even trying this cycle. Don't give up your faith. I know it is hard when everyone around you falls pregnant so easily. I have asked god many times "why me"? You will get through it just remain positive.

Hey gal, acoles70,

ur success story gives us hope that we will make it one day. All pcos ladies, have faith one day it will be us... And I would like to see my day come soon.

Baby dust and prayers for all those trying for baby out there......

This is the first time I have ever been in a chat room, but I have been trying for a couple of months now to conceive. I have a beautiful 6 year old daughter from a previous marriage and now am trying for another with my new partner of almost 6 years. I am 34 and he is 36. I am probably jumping the gun but I am beginning to get a little depressed and do not understand why I havent fallen as yet. Does being on the pill for so long (ie; 7 years) affect your chances. I have not been to see a doctor, re: pre-preg care. I am fit and healthy, as is my partner. I feel complaining is premature, but I am so concerned about my age and simply do not want to wait any longer. I am so impatient!

Considering ur age, though u r healthy, if u really want to have a child, dun put it off too long.

Especially if u r trying actively, seek a doc help. Sometimes, our body dun cooperate with us well.

Good luck!
