Ttc with truck driver

I am ttc #2. My hubby is a truck driver and not home every month to plan every cycle. I have pcos. With my first he has home all the time and it was years on meds and then off. I actually got pregnant on bcp. My midwife told me to wait six months then we can reevaluate my situation to see if I wanna start on clomid. I have skipped two periods and just got one now after two months. Which is disappointing because I planned hubby hometime when I should have been ovulating and now I just wanna give up cuz it was not at all what I wanted. I am bigger woman and 35 years old. I really want to have another my son is 10 so it’s been a long time since I been ttc. My question or concern is.... Is it really worth spending money and time getting on clomid even though they are going to be several cycles in between where I will basically be taking the meds for nothing? Or should I just get on bcp to help keep my cycle regular and hope it works out like it did with my son? I just remember how painful it was to try for so long last time and how hard it was then when we had every cycle to try I had nobody then who knew how that felt but I did have a good support system. This time I’m choosing to not tell people we are ttc mainly for my son he wants a brother or sister and I don’t want the disappointment to happen to him if he knows it’s not working out. Any encouragement would be great. Or if anyone has been through something like this.
