Got kids?

We have been kind of trying to get pregnant for about two years. I've dicussed it with my Dr. and finally a test has advised that I have PCOS. Which means that I don't ovulate on my own. (and luckily enough to gain weight and have a nice acne problem - those are other discussions)

To help me ovulate I have to take these pills which are huge and I really have trouble taking pills. But to help us concieve I take the pills (up to 4 a day). The only problem is that on the 3 likely days that I could be ovulating we need to have sex. And those first 2 months or so that I first starting taking the pills we either a) never had sex for whatever reason b) had sex but ended with you not ejaculating inside me (you prefer the hand jobs to finish up with). I stopped taking the pills! Why take them? I'm doing my part to help with this situation and you have to do your part.

One of your friends came into town this week who has recently had a baby. You told them you had never held a baby before so his mother made you hold the baby. And when you came home you told me that it made you realize that you wanted a baby and we needed to do whatever we needed to do to make this happen.

We had a nice little discussion. I told you, again, that I potentially have 3 days that I can get pregnant. I kind of know in advance based on my periods but won't know "for sure" unless I do a test. So it was decided that I would mark on a calendar the potential days and then make another mark when I was for sure. I told him that I was a little cautious about "telling" him of "the" day because I didn't want him to be thinking of this and not able to perform. He told me he didn't know how he would react so we'll have to just see how this works. I also mentioned that on these 3 days he has to c^m inside me - no hand jobs.

I don't know how successful we're gonna be. I talked to another lady who also had PCOS and she said to just go straight to the fertility medicines which increase your chances of getting pregnant. I've looked into this and most insurances don't help with these procedures and its about $1200 for just ONE treatment. Yeah like we have that type of money just lying around.
