I was just talking to my new RE about this earlier today. He told me this is a genetic condition. The only person I could think of that might of had problems with conceiving is my Great Great Grandmother Driggers. She only had one child, my great grandmother Kyser. She is on my father's side of the family. All the rest of the family is very fertile. My aunt has PCOS but she is not blood related. Amy Bryant
