PCOS and getting pregnant!!!!

I finally registered on here as after many google attempts to find answers i I saw a message from a woman who wanted to give up (her life) after so many different failings to her in trying to achieve pregnancy.  It is such a hard time for all of us , sometimes I wonder what helps us all to get through it. I am about to start clomid for the 5th time and have just been upped to 100mg for it.  I actually fee las if it has honestly got me nowhere and although i have experienced a whole variety of pregnancy symptoms this month (something which has happened pre clomid) I dont want to or even believe it could be a possibility.  I love my husband so much but feel so hopeless as I cannot give him the one thing in the world I know he wants!!!!  I find it so difficult, I know if it was his sperm count I would never leave him but as it is my fault I feel so guilty!  I know he loves me so much and I am so happy within this relationship, I just feel at times he would be better without me!

Thanks for that... I try to be positve about it as much as possible, I think I was just caught off guard by AF and that is what had me down... It is nice to hear from those who have made it to the mommy world.

I to have PCOS. however my husband has two boys from his first marriage. 3 rounds of clomid (150) and no luck. Have moved on to injectables for this next cycle so hopefully with fingers crossed and prayers a going.  My husband is the one that feels quilty that we can not have a child. He is fine but he feels bad for me. I, on the other hand feel like a complete failure.  I am really hard on myself and I know that I should not be, but sometimes it is really hard. at 39 it feels like a time bomb ticking
Wishing you all the luck with this next round and I hope that you will be posting that BFP soon!!!

Has your dr mentioned maybe starting injectibles (like Follistim) if the Clomid isn't working?  I know how you feel about your husband. It's hard for me to know that he could leave and find someone younger to give him the baby he wants. It *****  : (
Good luck! I hope the 5th time's the charm for you...
