I'm sorry Kiyoki. I know a lot of these women have babies now but you can go back through and read their trials in baby making. Also, What I gather from them that it is good to find a community and these "infertility blogs" are great for that. Women who have been through the trials of PCOS and worse and lots of them who have obtained babies through pregnancy and birth. start here: http://www.alittlepregnant.com <-- Julie has a Giant Blogroll of women experiencing infertility. Plus she also lists out her IVF experiences for easy refrence to go back and read them.

Aw, I'm sorry Kiyoki. I was just wondering about you the other day because we haven't seen you in awhile.
-huggles- Those look like some good links.

I found soulcysters.com, which is a forum and page for women with PCOS.
Honestly, I'm not as upset as I was when I first found out. For me, this is really a huge relief now... for three years and five doctors, I've been misdiagnosed and ignored, and now... finally, I have hope again. It's like, "Oh, hey, we know what's wrong with you, it's perfectly common, and it's also perfectly treatable."
And there's even a chance I could still get pregnant after I begin my treatments. I'm really relieved, now that it's sunk in and I've had a chance to think about it. ^_^

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to conceive for 3months now, the 3rd time I used the ovulation predictor test, and its been a week and I don't feel any different so I guess that did not work either. I'm trying to not think about it and not to "force" the whole process but...I really want to have a baby -_-'
So my question is, how long did it take you guys?
I know that it says that you have to try for a year before you go to see a doctor, but if you are using predictor tests it should not take you long, right? sweatdrop I'm just afraid that something is wrong and I am waisting my time.....

stare Almost eight months, so I really do know your pain when it seems like everyone else gets pregnant within two months of trying. My hubby and I were beginning to think that one of us might be sterile. It makes me feel for the people that have been trying even longer because those 7 months did such a number on my self-esteem that it wasn't funny.
As some wonderful friends of mine here reminded me [ whee ], it's not that common to hear about younger couples going through problems TTC because it's hard to talk about. You'll find them more if you search out fertility blogs, but you really aren't alone in not getting pregnant the second you try. As long as you can avoid people who literally boast and gloat about their fertility, you should be ok. I had someone who I thought was a friend do that to me and I realized she wasn't such a good friend afterall if she'd use something like that to one-up me and shove it in my face. Sadly, you might run into some insensitive people like that.
Also, any given month, even if conditions are 100% optimal, your chances of getting pregnant are between 0-25%. At the time that didn't really make me feel better just because everyone else I knew who tried was pregnant within 3 months, but now that I've been there, I'm finally pregnant and near the end, it does give me comfort for the next time I try.
So give it more then 3 months before giving up and know you're not alone in this.

!!Thank you Pirate Dirge!!! heart Thats exactly how I feel right now!!! Everyone around me got pregnant really fast, and I figured that may be something is wrong with me sweatdrop Its sad, if there is a crowd of people walking next to me all I see is that there are 5 pregnant women there XD
My parents in law are no help either. I see them once a month and they literally "size me" ;_;. Some days I feel that they are nice to me only because I may give them a grandchild. Scares me actually >_<' And they keep asking "don't you want to have a child?" >_<' argh...

Most docs won't even discuss with you the possibility of infertility until you've tried for at leas a YEAR.
Because like Dirge said in every month you have a 25 percent chance at highest.
Lots of times eggs just don't implant for no damned reason, you ovulate early, or late, or dude...not at all for a month. And none of those things actually make you infertile, those are just normal every day things that happen to women with regular ovulation and no fertility related health problems.

Yodelay. ^__^ I wanna jump on this TTC boat. My boyfriend and I have been idly trying for almost a year, and then, because I stopped being scared of financial and health problems, actively trying for the past month. Like I said in my intro, I have PCOS and Chris has potential hereditary sperm problems, but that's not gonna stop us. I've got patience. :3
