You can try in-vitro fertilization. Just because your ovaries aren't passing eggs into the fallopian tubes like they're supposed to doesn't mean you can't produce any. In IVF, they draw eggs from you and sperm from your husband and conceive outside the body. Then they plant the fertilized ovum into your uterus. You'll take fertility drugs for awhile to make sure it takes hold, but if your healthy in the rest of your womanhood there shouldn't be a problem.The only drawbacks to this procedure is it could be pricey, and the possibility of mulitiple births run higher than natural pregnancies. But hey, it's an instant family right? I'd love to get it done all at once. =)Good luck to you. We've been trying for 5 years too. But, my situation is a bit more serious and not looking good. I do know how frustrated you feel.

My sister has had PCOS for years. She wouldn't get her period until she lost weight. I don't know if you have a weight problem, but if you do it would help to get some off, even a little. It's very difficult for PCOS sufferers to do this, but I can attest to it helping my sister a lot. There are many of sites on the web to help.
