I apologies in advance as this is a touchy story/rant and I don't mean to offend anyone.

I tried talking to my older sister the other day about PCOS. She's just had her 3rd baby so she don't understand what it is and how it can change some people's lives. She than went on to tell me that our niece, who is around my age, married with a daughter, is having trouble getting pregnant as she has lost one due to miscarriage last year and doctors are/or going to run tests etc.. she started saying how she felt sorry for her and that its not fair that she can't get pregnant.

I'm sorry if I sound dramatic or even a little insensitive but I don't ovulate. My ovulation test kits I take 7/8 days after my period every month for a couple weeks are always negative and my GP confirmed that back in December. Not to mention I have poor energy levels, mood swings, struggle to lose weight etc.. like most women with PCOS.

Since being diagnosed I feel lost and some days feel extremely down. I look at people like my niece who have a beautiful home, husband and child and wish I had that especially when me and my partner have been trying for almost 2 years. And every time I want to talk to someone they don't seem to understand or even try to imagine what its like for women like myself. The infertility is my biggest downer but also everyday symptoms can also affect women like us badly too.

I love my niece and I hate that this is happening to her but she had no problem falling pregnant with her first. I know women can than struggle with there 2nd or 3rd and believe me, women in my shoes know the frustration and heartache as we've tried year's to try and conceive our first but I wish people would be grateful with what they got. I'd happily have one child than none at all and unfortunately there is women, and men too, who can't even conceive at all.

Like I said, sorry I'm being a bit insensitive. It's just difficult to pour your heart out about what struggles you have and someone starts thinking about someone else who has already got what a lot of us want.
