Debbie -- I hope I'm not out of line here, but it sounds like you've got good reason to be depressed. You're dealing with a lot: the grief of possibly foregoing another child; dealing with PCOS; and dealing with a partner who sounds like he wasn't as sensitive as he might have been and is sending out some difficult messages. You might find it helpful to try to find a counsellor who can help you and your husband, or you alone if your husband won't go along, to sort through some of these issues. I got my husband to go for a few rounds of counselling with me once and we both found it extremely helpful, and I assure you he isn't hte sort of person to go easily to counselling and it took a lot of convincing on my part. I think the thing that helped do that was saying that I didn't want to open up everything, our whole relationship. We had a very focussed issue in mind when we went, and that helped us and the counsellor to work in a concentrated way. We only went about 6 or 7 times, and it made a big difference for us in terms of getting "on side" together.

Good luck to you and keep us posted. Alina
