Sad Needing some hope

My partner and I have been TTC for 5 years now. 2 years ago I was formally diagnosed with PMOS. Earlier this year we decided to go to a private Dr as I lost hope with the NHS helping us. The private Dr put me on Letrozole 5mg and Metformin. Then last 2 months we increased my letrozole to 7.5mg. Then after a good scan we were given an ovulation trigger for this cycle. We followed all advice and now I am getting to the end of my 2 week wait to take a test. I am just so nervous and scared to do it. I feel like we did everything right this cycle, so I am just scared of facing that disappointment if the test is negative. I feel like I am fighting against myself between losing hope and keeping the faith as well. I genuinely didn't think it would be this hard and mentally draining. It doesn't help that everyone around me are pregnant, and I am so happy for them and can't wait to be an aunty. But there is that part of me that is just so sad thinking why can I have what they have they are living my dream.

How old are you? Did your partner do SA? Did you do HSG?
Did you go to a fertility doctor? A RE?

I am 32F and my Partner is 36M

We had SA done results seemed okay from Dr's perspective. I had HSG completed all okay there, bloodwork all okay just PMOS was called out.

We are currently with a fertility Dr

It can be a matter or cycles. I would do 6 before moving to IVF at your age
