Emotional support for TTC and PCOS not there for the most part.?

The only non-professional person supporting my decision to seek help with infertility is my boyfriend. I'm young, just under 25, and I have PCOS and extremely irregular periods making timing my ovulation nearly impossible. The doctor, my bf, and I have decided to do a follicle study to determine how often if at all I am ovulating and if I'm not to start meds such as clomid. My mother has been bugging me to give her a grandchild so when I told her I was going to get help getting pregnant she curtly told me that the doctor was just trying to steal my money and that I should just do it on my own and then she changed the subject and said she had to go. My best friend, who was ecstatic to hear we were trying, keeps telling me to skip the meds and do it naturally because "I'm young and I have time to try for a while". My other friends are constantly blasting my decision to have a child before we get married, which is a very personal decision and is related to my family dynamics and my relationship with my father and nothing else. I am so frustrated. I know I'm not ovulating my boyfriend is quite older and if we wait another 3 years it will require me having an amnio because of his age. I don't have time and I can't do it naturally and wait it out. I've already gone through 1 confirmed and 1 suspected miscarriage. Where do I turn for emotional female support? I'm I wrong for wanting fertility help? Am I jumping the gun? We've only been trying to time /ovulation for 2 months but I've been off BC since August. I'm not even doing IVF just a follicle study and possibly Clomid.
