Hi Delia and welcome to the board :) I'm sorry you are struggling so with all of this! It all sounds familiar, many of us have gone through the same things that you are. It looks as though you are doing all the right things as far as treatment goes! All I can offer you is the support of this board - it's a great place, and I hope you'll feel welcome to come here and share your feelings etc. These ladies are a godsend, theyc an pull you through anything I am sure!

Two things: One, there is a board specifically for PCOS'ers trying to conceive at http://www.inciid.org/forums/pcoscafe that I really like. You might find some more info and support there too.

And, I found it really helpful when I got down about being childless to start reading up on fertility and doing things like charting my temp/mucus/etc. It made me feel like I was doing SOMETHING to combat this, and that's made all the difference, not feeling helpless any more. Feel better!
