The Infertility Film Festival is due to screen online from Saturday, July 28th, 2007. For more info check out:

thank you for posting this – it brought tears of recognitin to my eyes – I agree with teh poster who said – it is hard to find anything by somoene who has not “made it to the other side” by achieving pregnancy. some of us never do achieve pregnancy – my making it to the other side is starting the adoption process – but it is not a resolution in the same way as pregnancy. thank you again for sharing this

You are definitely not alone! But you are so much younger too, I’m 33 and have suffered two miscarriages, it has been 18 months since & I am still not pregnant. Please don’t start thinking that your time is running out but don’t take a doctor’s NO for an answer, somethimes they are too complacent about PCOS.
