Becky,
have faith. There are success stories all the time about women with
PCOS having children. Just don't ever give up and demand the best from
your doctor because YOU DESERVE THE BEST TREATMENT.
Keep telling yourself that, It's easy to blame yourself and get
depressed which gives you a low self image. As long as you believe you
are worth it you can make ANY dream come true.
Love, Katie xxx
