Everyone else is pregnant...

This is my first post. I've been reading these posts since I went off the pill last year and it's really helped answer questions and get support. I thought I was pregnant despite many BFNs over the holidays. I was 7 weeks late, emotional, constantly hungry, lots of food aversions... I finally got in at my doctor and got diagnosed with PCOS. At least AF FINALLY came back after my doc put me on Metformin the first week of January. First ovulation in months just last week! Cross your fingers!
I keep getting a little downtrodden, with everyone else in my life getting pregnant and having babies! Half of my sorority's graduating class is pregnant at this moment, my 20 year old cousin got accidentally pregnant, my cousin with one ovary who was told she may never conceive got pregnant after one try, my AUNT just got pregnant. I'm happy for everyone, I really am. It's just hard seeing everyone else so happy, and having them ask me when we're going to have babies is starting to take its toll. We've only told parents about our struggles after it got too hard to hide my lack of caffeine, alcohol, etc. from them during the holidays.
My husband tries to understand, but I think he probably will never fully understand since he isn't going through the same emotional roller coaster I am! I just wanted to reach out to such a supportive community that has been so helpful during this process so far!
Let's hope this month did it for me! Just a week away from POAS!

Re: Everyone else is pregnant...
Good luck OP. I hope your visit is short and sweet
2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012: In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014 BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!

November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
