5 Years, no pregnancies....... my problem now..... no hope?

It is very easy for anyone to say "It will be ok", "It will work out" "It will happen for you, i just know it!" but i think that unless you are in the situation, it is difficult to fully understand how broken it makes you feel ......

My husband and i stopped using contraceptions over five and a half years ago. I was then 25 and he was 24 and no pregnancies have occoured.

I went to the doctor who started fertility investigations after we had been trying for 2 of those years....

This unfortunately didn't go much further than checking i wasn't early menopause as a close family member got ill and although we carried on 'trying' I wasn't actively keeping track of things.

Went back to the doctor after this period and we continued full investigations. My husband is fine but i have been diagnosed with pcos.

My doctor has prescribed Metformin now so we are giving that a go but i feel so hopeless about it

Anyone in a similiar position?

If it helps at all, I know several people who were diagnosed with pcos and with medical intervention were able to have full term pregnancies and healthy children. One friend in particular now has 3 children and is pregnant with another. They tried for a few years with no results until they were diagnosed and now they have their family.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I just worry because I can't even imagine it happening anymore. I'm almost 32 now and with each year my chances decrease a little.To finally get a positive after all this time would just be magical.

Maybe next year. ....

(Fingers crossed)
