Yes I totally understand where you are coming from. I began trying to conceive at 20 and I felt the same way. I felt like everyone would judge me because I am choosing to have a baby at such a young age. I am now 25 and still trying to conceive. I have damaged fallopian tube and pcos. This has been a very long and emotional journey for me. Everyone in my life that are close to me are haveing children and I have that jealous feeling also. My best friend had a baby girl on Saturday and it was so hard for me. We were ttc together and she got pregnant before me. My heart dropped to my stomach when she told me. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy for my friend , I just can't help but think why not me. I am now starting a cycle of ivf. I am very nervous, anxious and depressed a lot because I want this so bad. I'm hoping for the best.
So with that being said you are definitly not alone.

I am the same way we have one son but I really want another baby and we have been trying for a year and nothing yet. It seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant and not me. 10 people that I know are pregnant 6 of them are 6 weeks pregnant so mine came of a flow all at once. My doctor has me on progestrone, clomid, and metformin. I also started taking relacore to help with more weight lose to see if it helps. Along with the PCOS I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa (aka HS). And I don't know much about it but I can tell you it hurts I get cysts under my arms and they have to give me shots to get rid of them sometimes. As for the pcos I go back to my ob today for an ultra sound to see whats going on I am just hopping I am ovulating finally. Good luck with everything.

I have PCOS too, weight does affect fertility - apparently it can cause problems with implantation of the egg. I have been told to have a BMI under 30 before I can begin IVF treatment in april so working hard at that as its at 33 at the moment. I was diagnosed with unexplained fertility as the pcos is not affecting me as I am having regular periods and had tests which show I am ovulating and there are no problems with things inside either (had a laproscopy and internal ultrasound).
I am 33 years old and we've been trying for 3 years now, its tough going but you can always chat/ask questions here. Hang in there, you're young so age is not against you and its good news you have begun your periods again so fingers crossed....
