Re: Not pregnant, but 'trying.' -

Hey there,
I wanted to reply to this but I don't know if my advice will be that helpful seeing as I don't have PCOS. Firstly, I want to apologize that your doctor was unhelpful. In all honesty, if it is possible you might want to consider a second opinion. I don't know if the doctor you saw was a gynecologist but if he wasn't you might want to go that route because they might have more knowledge about the situation you are dealing with. However, I realize that getting a second opinion isn't always possible depending on your insurance coverage.
Now, from what I do know about PCOS it can make getting pregnant difficult but that doesn't mean it is impossible. I think you should consider 'actively' trying to get pregnant; although I think this is what you two are doing without actually labeling. You aren't taking prevention to stop pregnancy etc. The reason I suggest this is because from what I have heard you have to have actively tried for a baby for a year before you can consider medical means of trying to conceive. Now, I know this might not be ideal but if you want a baby and don't conceive within a year of 'actively' trying you could speak to a doctor about your options.
In the meantime you might want to look into what your insurance, if your in the USA, will cover in regards to fertility treatment and see if you and your husband can afford it. I think a question like this would be one you could call your insurance about. I am not 100% positive but I think they would be able to give you a general idea of if they cover it, what you would have to pay etc. I know with my insurance if I have any questions I just ask them.
I know this might not have been helpful but honestly all I can suggest is that you keep trying for a while and if you don't see results you consult a doctor about your options regarding fertility treatment. If you really want to have another child don't give up on that possibility just yet.
Best of luck and sorry if this was completely unhelpful.
