Today I was Facebook messaging a friend of mine from high school.
A few months ago she had mentioned that after 2 years of trying they still weren't pregnant. The earliest her doctor could get her in to start infertility diagnosis was July.
I remembered that today so I asked how everything went.
She informed me that they did bloodwork and then checked for cysts but she was clear. That before they start to take clomid they wanted to try GNC's Fertility blend for men and women. And after the first month... She is pregnant! Found out yesterday.
Now 2 things:
1) I'm very happy she is pregnant after trying and waiting so long.
2) I'm sad for myself and my DH. I wish it was easier for me to get pregnant.
I mentioned the fertility blend to the DH and said he could take it too which we gladly pointed out that all his swimmers are more than great and he doesn't need to take anything to help. Lovely. Let's point out even more that this is all my "fault" because MY body is the one not working properly.
So.

As much as I want to sit on the couch, veg out, play Sims or something... I think I'm going to get on the treadmill. Because, even though it is tough, being fat seems like something easier to fix than my infertility.
Have any of yal tried this or know somebody that did and was successful?
I have not tried the vitamins, but I wanted to tell you that I can relate to your post about feeling sad when hearing others' pregnancy news. I became VERY close with a girl who had been TTC for a year and a half, we shared everything and talked about everything in this journey. Two weeks ago she called to tell me she was expecting. That same week (5 days later!) another friend, who also has PCOS like me and has been trying for some time, told me she was pregnant too!!! Talk about feeling like the last of the infertiles! :) It was very difficult, but I am much better now and still friends with both ladies.
