Introducing myself (1 child, hoping for many more siblings)

Hello everyone,
I'm on cycle day 1 of my 2nd cycle officially trying again. My son is 9.5 months old; I've always wanted the big, chaotic, fun Irish Catholic family, but my history of PCOS stands in my way of that happening by luck alone. It took 4 rounds of Clomid at 50 mg to get pregnant the first time, and I've just failed round 1 of 100 mg of Clomid. I was definitely super hopeful because I had 3 follicles that matured, but my lining was a little thin, so I'm guessing that did me in. I think my doc wants to switch to Letrozole for round 2, but I'm a bit nervous as I'm still breastfeeding. I know breastfeeding delays fertility, but I only get maybe 2 periods a year on my own, so doc wasn't bothered about trying medication. I go in for a baseline ultrasound in 2 days. Pretty nervous that I might have some corpus luteum cysts hanging around. My right ovary (which had all 3 follicles) is still sore. Anyway, just wanted to say hi to all of you ladies. Wishing everyone the best of luck! And if you've got PCOS, I'd love to hear any advice you've got about managing symptoms/bringing on ovulation more naturally.
