It amazes me sometimes how much I feel like I tried to find various avenues of support during treatment and I keep on learning of more organizations/sites everyday. I wanted to start putting together a list of various places you can go for support. Some provide medical terms sheets and info on treatment options, some provide financial help and some are peer support sources. Please feel free to comment with additional sites you know of that I might have missed. There is no particular order to what's listed - just how they came to mind.
www.resolve.org - National Infertility Org for the US - patient fact sheets, support groups, teleseminars, membership with magazine.
www.atime.org - Jewish org based out of New York - most programing happens there, medical/halacha support, membership with magazine (or you could download online), some cities have local chapters that might offer other levels of support.
www.soulsisters.com and www.soulsisters.net - for PCOS info site and .net is a forum
www.conceiveonline.com - blogs, articles, resources, forums
www.cadefoundation.org - family building grants of up to $10K
www.boneiolam.org - Jewish org based in NY that provides funding grants to couples worldwide experiencing infertility.

They also will coordinate supervision at fertility clinics. They provide support in english, french, spanish and hebrew.
www.chana.org.uk - Jewish organization that provides counseling, helpline, medical advice/support, lectures, peer support and books and tapes.
There are also tons of other people blogging out there - google search or find one and it may lead you to many more.
