My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 15 months now.After the first few months we went into the doctor, He out me on fertility pills like crazy still nothing,Meanwhile my husband was seeing his doctor also for tests and found out hes been shooting blanks for 3 years, My husband got that fixed within a month and his men were marching fine, so now back to me again I go back to my doctor, He asked me when was the last time I had my period I told him probably 3 months before we even started trying. So now more and more pills and tests, sill no baby.I got back to my doctor so about now it's been about 6 months and he declared me with PCOS. I was devasted, so now back to more tests and my husband was still seeing his doctor why we couldnt see the same doctor I dunno ask my stubborn husband. So now its about 8 months still nothing, I see my doctor again he tells me to adopt,I went home and just cried and cried. So now my husband and I are both seeing his doctor, So here we go again starting all over again with the tests and the pills, by now im soo depressed,My husband took me out for dinner but all I did was feel too fat.I have also gained 15 pounds while I was doing all the tests. His doctor also found I have a very very high thyroid disease.He said I have 2 of diseases, ounce again nothing good. So now im on these thyroid pills I feel sick every morning dont know why. These pills make me not hungry which is a good thing im losing the weight slowly but surely,He told me I would get my period 3 weeks after taking these and I could get pregnant.On March 11 it will be 3 weeks I have not had my period for 18 months and I'm only 22 years old, I got married when I was 20,Yes I know im young but I love my husband to death and we have nothing but support from everyone we know, I just needed to share my story soo far to anyone who reads this cause it feels like a big weight off my chest now that I have told anyone how tired and depressed I am, this journey has not been fun and I dont know how it will end, But I know I have my husband and family who will be there to support me, I havent been able to tell them how depressed I am cause I dont want to hurt there feelings, My mom shows me baby stuff and baby names all the time I look at her and smile and go yes mom one day,when inside, im just torn apart. Thank you for reading my story so far,if you have any questions or ideas please feel free to reply. And thanks for listening, Samantha

Hi Samantha, thank you for sharing your story with us. I also have PCOS and have been trying to get pregnant since October 2007. I have a healthy weight, I have been getting my period and I'm ovulating every month, I'm also on 1500mg of Metformin/day and I started my first Clomid cycle this month. My IVF doctor thinks I should have been pregnant by now so he wanted my husband to get his sperm tested. My husband did the test last week but we wont get the results until next week. He is very upset and depressed just thinking that he could be having a problem. I really hope he doesn't because I don't know how he would deal with it, he wants a child more than anything else in the world.
My question to you is what type of treatment did your busband have for his sperm to be normal? And how did he deal with the news that he was "shooting blanks"?
Also I would advise you to go see an IVF specialist and not your husbands doctor. You need to see someone who has a very good understanding of PCOS and that will give you the proper treatment and advice.
Please don't lose hope because you are young and many women with PCOS get pregnant. All the best to you.

Thank you I will mention that with my husband, My husband already had a feeling he was shooting blanks so when the test confirmed it he felt pretty bad but we joke about it and was like so I guess were 50/50 on this, like we joked about it, It helped both of us out, He had to quite drinking coffee,he couldnt have any caffine in his system what so ever, and he had to quite wearing tight boxers he likes to were the tight tight ones which is alright with me lol, But hes not allowed at all anymore the doctor told him let them hang,lol it was quite funny so after about a month month and a half his men were marching just fine like nothing ever happened, but for now on no caffene and no tights,lol
