Stressed out with no way to fix it

A little backstory, I was diagnosed with PCOS earlier this year in say late may early june, with unrelated depression shortly after. I have no pain, but im loaded with cysts which confuses the hell out of my doctor but its whatever and im getting treatment for the depression.

So, about 2 weeks ago now, i was called by my doctor, which is not unusual in itself, i have PCOS and unrelated depression, so i tend to spend alot of time with her and she calls to check in sometimes. I couldnt have asked for a better doctor honestly. so she calls me up at around 3 pm on a monday from her home office and tells me she just got the results from my most recent tests, an ultrasound and some bloodwork. My PCOS is getting worse. Normally thats not super bad news, for the time being my eggs are still healthy, im ovulating at least once every 4-5 weeks depending etc, but this was bad news. im going to quote her exact words here "based on the look of your ovaries coupled with your bloodwork, i would say you have about maximum of two years before you will require extensive fertility treatments if you ever want kids." it didnt sink in at first. i made myself some tea to go with dinner and sat down to watch netflix. around 9 pm i broke. it finally hit me that my doctor just told me my ovaries are slowly dying due to the cysts cutting off circulation to them, and because im not in pain they wont do surgery to remove some cysts so my ovaries can breathe.

and then i downloaded glow to track things easier. im waiting to hear my fiance's definitive answer because he has always wanted kids but us being in our early 20's and having a baby was not something we wanted for ourselves, so im not getting rid of my birth control or anything until he gives me an answer as to whether we risk waiting or not.

super stressed out but cant really do anything but wait sadly.
