Hi Everyone -
My husband and I have been trying to start a family for the past several months; however in January we found out that I have PCOS and was put on Fertility medication. While working with the doctors to improve our chances, my husband goes to work and really isn't there for all the testing and results that I have to go through. I honestly can't blame him that he can't be there however a part of me would like him to at least be a bit more understanding as to what I am going through. Is that soooo terrible? And to defend him in a way, I am not the most pleasant person right now, all the hormones have made me rather depressed and angry about the whole situation, I wouldn't want to deal with me.

I don't want to be this person that I am. I want to be the woman that my husband married. I hate what this is doing to us but we keep telling each other that this is worth it, that we both want to start a family, or even better that this is just a bump in the road. What can we do to get through this?

Also, the doctor explained to me that do to the medications that I am on we have to have sex every other day to improve our chance of conceiving, my question is how can we "spice it up" and not make it feel like making love is a job? Does anyone remember that commerical about Dunkin Donuts "Time to make the Donuts," well my husband and I have begun to compare our sex life to that, saying, "Time to have the sex." It's rather depressing.

Thanks for listening. If you have any ideas on what we can do please let me know.
