Angry Faith & Infertility - Confused and Venting

I don't know where to start. I think most of you know my story now and sometimes my family makes me so mad with their comments. So my mother told me that she thinks my hubby and I should try to continue to conceive on our own. She (who is not a religious person) that we should leave this in God's hands. So I ask her where she got this from (since she is a nurse and should understand medical problems) and she tells me that my grandmother and her were talking about fertility treatments. My grandmother feels that if God is not allowing Matt and I to have children than it was meant to be that way and we should not "play God" with my body to force pregnancy. I could not believe what I was hearing; especially since my hubby and I are strong christians. We feel thought that PCOS is like a disease causing problems such as anovulation; therefore, I need medicine to fix or cure this problem of anovulation which is the fertility medicine. Does anyone else see it this way?

I explained to my mother this and told her it is no different than when my grandmother had to take chemo when she had breast cancer. She had to "play God" to rid her body of the problems that the breast cancer was bringing to her which would or could have ended in death. My mom said I was being irrational and that my head was not working properly anymore. I just could not believe this so we ended the conversation; however, I could not sleep well last night because this was on my mind. I prayed and prayed last night and I found myself explaining to God about the fertility treatments (which is insane).

Please help or give insights into what you all think?
