Greetings from Canada *Child Mentioned, S/O mentioned*

First of all hello to all the wonderful women on here going through infertility. I am hoping to find some support here from people going through the same thing as I am, since it seems like no one in my real life has any idea how I feel most of the time. 

A bit of background on me:
My name is Kellie, I am 32 and I moved to Canada 3+ years ago from Houston after marrying my hubby Justin. I have a daughter who just made 8 from a previous long term relationship. 
I have always been heavy and was told at a young age that I would most likely not have kids. I started menstruating at the age of 12 and had 2 periods within the first year and then went 4 years without another period. These large gaps of time continued into adulthood and was put on birth control pills when I was 22 in order to regulate my cycle to prevent cervical cancer. I was with my ex for years without using protection and never got pregnant. I went on a low-carb diet and lost over 100 lbs in only 6 months. I had missed a few days of my pills in the past and didn't worry about it at all because I was told I wouldn't have kids. After going on vacation and forgetting my pills at home I was shocked one month when my boobs were hurting like crazy an at home pregnancy test told me I was pregnant. I literally thought that I was in some sort of a dream, and kept waiting to wake up from it. During my first 2 months of pregnancy I lost 15 lbs and was put on a medication to make me keep my food down. During the last 7 months, I gained over 90 lbs! 
My DD was born when I was 24 and was 2 weeks late, so we went in for induction. After being in the hospital for less than an hour, before even putting in the Cervidil, I was told that she had an irregular heartbeat and that they would need to perform an emergency C-section. 20 minutes later I had my baby girl in my arms and was in shock I think. 
Her dad and I split when she was 1.5 years old and I met my husband when she was almost 3. He is a second father to her and we have a happy family. After she was born, they gave me a name for my condition (PCOS). It was nice to finally be able to have a name for what was wrong with me, and to not feel like I as the only one in the world that wasn't "normal". When things had started getting rocky with my ex, I had gotten the Implanon put in just in case I was able to get pregnant again. I got it taken out after it expired after being in for 3 years. I went back on the pill to regulate my periods again, and started trying to get pregnant after my husband's and my 1 year anniversary. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes right around the same time and went on Metformin. After being diagnosed with Type2 I went on a diet and lost 100 lbs going from 430 lbs to 330. I am currently taking 100mg of Clomid as well and have still not ovulated. 
I am hoping that this month is different, and that things will start working again but so far no go. I am currently on day 14 of my cycle and all the OPK still shows negative. 

A big thank you for everyone that read the post, and I really look forward to getting to chat with some of yall. 
*baby dust for everyone here*
