I have PCOS, we have been TTC for about a year now. I am currently being treated for PCOS with metformin and bromocriptine. I am on clomid for fertility treatments but only on days 3-7 of my cycle.
Sorry you feel this way. I think many of us can relate to being overwhelmed by IF. Most of us here are already doing IVF so getting our periods has just become a thing now. We already know (unless cycling) that we arent going to be pregnant. lol You should check out TTTC. I think you would relate cycle wise with majority of that board.

I'm so sorry >:D< This feeling of being a failure and inadequate is no fun, but I understand. I've been there, repeatedly. But remember that you are not a failure. You are strong, stronger than any woman who will never have to go through this. And it's ok to be sad, for a while anyways. If those feelings don't disappear, make sure to vent them out (friend, family, here or a professional, whatever works for you). Don't give up, infertility is the heck of a roller coaster, but I'm praying all I can there is a nice healthy baby at the end of ride.
