Introducing myself (child mentioned) PCOS TCC #2

in Infertility
I'm 35 years old, DH 32, DS 2. We were able to conceive our first child after nine months of TTC though this was slow in my mind at the time it was within the time range people said it may take. When DS turned 6 months we started to try again. After 15 disappointing months I finally went to a RE and was diagnosed with lean PCOS but was told it should be easy to get me pregnant since I had already produced a child. Well I've done 3 cycles and just got another BFN today. My heart aches for another child. We wanted 4 but at this point I'd be happy with 2. Truth be told I'm already prepping myself to accept my one beautiful gift because many don't even get that and he is the light of my world. I feel defective and isolated. All of my friends are having children without issues and some have announced two pregnancies in the period of time that we've been trying. I know I shouldn't compare but I do. I also live across the country from my support group but I don't even think if they were near I could talk to them since when they want a baby they get a baby. The older women in my family can't help themselves but to say things like "I don't know honey I never had any problems in that area" which is true b/c they all got pregnant just by shaking hands with their husbands. So here I am trying to find a tribe of women who can relate. Thanks for reading. Good luck to you all.

    Hi @wendyp28, welcome.
    Sorry to hear about your struggles, it's hard to hear halfway through your progress that you have PCOS. I sure did.
    It's not easy having people around that just got pregnant, so this is definitely a place you'll can share your thoughts, worries or even get a helping virtual hug.
    To get a BFN is heartbreaking, but don't give up just yet.
    Keep having faith and think fertile:)

    Sending you lots of baby dust

    Your lineup looks similar to mine except I only did two IUIs medicated with Lotrazole and a trigger before switching to Gonal f injections of which have only done one cycle so far. I am going to up my meds this time as I only got two folicles and was hoping for more like 4-5 and if I over produce which they seem to be nervous of we will convert to IVF. So currently I am waiting for AF and anxious to get started again.

    Its funny how we look forward to AF so we can get back on track.
    I didn't know it was possible to switch during treatment from IUI to IVF. They never mentioned that to me. But it is good to have that option as that might take the pressure off from being worried of being overstimulated.
    Hope you don't have to wait to long for AF, and manage to relax a little bit while waiting for your new try.
    I'll be rooting for you!
