[TylersMom]

I had my first child 8 years ago, at the age of 18. Getting pregnant took about 2.5 seconds. It took a long time, but my husband and I finally got to a point in our lives when we were ready to have another child. After trying for 6 months, I told my Gyno that I thought there was something wrong. Like most doctors, especially those who have never suffered with infertility, she told me, "Be patient, it will happen." I wanted to smack her. She continues to tell me that even though I was diagnosed by a fertility specialist with PCOS. It was a blessing and a curse. I never imagined my life without at least 2 or 3 kids. I was relieved to know that I wasn't crazy for thinking something was wrong, but I was shattered to know I may never have more children. No one, including my husband, quite understands how heartbreaking this is for me. I die inside every time one of my friends or relatives becomes pregnant. How do people who have dealt with infertility for years survive this? I'm now at 1 year and counting...
