I can't get over the fact I might not be able to have kids

I was diagnosed with pcos at the age of 16 (8 years ago) since then I have been pushed from pillar to post because no one knew what they were doing. I haven't had a period since I was 15 and no doctor sees this as an issue, I've lost over 10 stone in 3 years (from 24st - 14st) and that hasn't made a difference. All I want is a child of my own, my partner talks of adopting which is an option but I want that feeling, like a 'normal' woman, the feeling of pregnancy and everything that comes with it. I hate having a beard and I'm allergic to an ingredient in the sensitive wax strips so I have to shave, otherwise I'd be there for days plucking, I just feel like a lost cause, like giving up. Is there anything I can do?  Or just someone to talk to. All of my friends are having kids and I'm just stuck like this.

    Pcos is such a common thing and I know plenty of people who have had kids despite having Pcos. Have they put you on the pill? Or natural progesterone? Checked your bloos sugar, testosterone and dhea? You need to see a gynecologist and or fertility doctor. The facial hair is usually due ro too mich testosterone and dhea and can be dealt qirh by giving you something like spironolactone. Please follow up with a  obgyn or fertility specialist
