Poor thing, but guess what, I am kind of going through a similar situation. I have just been recently diagnosed with pcos and I have been depressed ever since. My bf is kind of understanding but he always says don't worry about it, and of course he can say that because he already has a little girl from a previous marriage. He only wants antoher child because that is what I want. I have just been put on cyclessa (bc pills ) for the next 3 months. My mood changes like the weather and out here in Texas that is every 5 minutes. My sister is going through the same thing so she can't be of any help because she is learning to handle all of this herself. I am so sad because it is like every where I look I see someone pregnant or a picture or a baby and ALL of my friends are pregnant or just had their babies and look at me. Then on top of that I keep getting bv and yeast infections sometimes causing bladder infections. I have not tried any fertility drugs yet though. I was told to get on bc for 3 months and then come back and they will start me on something. SO I know everything you are going through and atleast I know, I am not alone in the world. If you ever need a pal or someone to talk to please let me know and I will give you my direct email and maybe we can console and help each other through this horrible time
