Took me a while to get over it and eventually did. When I did get over it and planned things in life a duff direction, I got pregnant at the age of 40 a miracle according to my dr.
I have a child now..
If all this becomes difficult emotionally for you trying to get pregnant seek support. Stress impacts even healthy women getting pregnant. But please remember some women with PCOS do get pregnant and that is the positive to focus on. Keep doing what you are doing. When you do get pregnant. Your Dr's will watch you and monitor you for the blood clots that run in your family.
