I'm another with PCOS! While not saying anything against specialists (they're awesome and they have their place), after 4 clomid cycles (failures), I went to a nautropath as I had a cyst too big to do IUI, so thought "get my body right before the next cycle". I got pregnant naturally - since then I've been pregnant 3 cycles out of 4 with the naturopath! It's definitely not the end of the world having a diagnosis, I feel quite empowered actually.
So you can have a family - my specialist said an awesome thing actually "you WILL get pregnant, don't worry about it". I will always be thankful for him for that.
I agree with Black Rose, chart your cycle, my naturopath put me on to fertility friend and I learned so much (even as a registered nurse) about my body, it was awesome. Good luck for your journey here, there are some wonderful women and men to support you through every stage of the journey!
I can completely relate to all of your emotions. In September I was also diagnosed with PCOS, severe Endo and found out I have one blocked/twisted ovary. So my chances of conceiving naturally are slim to one. At times I too feel alone and lost. Often jealous of others which is a trait I hate. I'm trying to be gentle on myself.
This forum is a great way to talk to other people who are in similar situations and I hope that you can find some comfort and support here.
Really hope your dreams of having children can come true.
For me, I'm currently on Zoladex and will start ICSI in the new year.
