I'm sure my DH can provide better insight than I can, but I know my hormones have been at times worst than a roller coaster. He could look at me wrong and I would go off. I know he can get frustrated just trying to figure out what to do or not to do.
DH is a "let me fix it now" kinda guy and PCOS is the enemy to this kind of personality. For me, I just had to say, "This is what I'm going thru right now. I need your support and I need you to just listen to me; don't try to fix it." The more I learn about PCOS, I share w/him. I make sure he understands "this is important to me". I've got a great DH. He goes w/me to all of my dr appt (I shared a while back one time during my yearly examine he and dr had a football conversation while dr gave me a breast exam. LOL). Ask him to participate; get material for him to read.
I was dx'd a year after we got married. Keep in mind your marriage is still new and you both are still getting adjusted to being husband and wife. That alone is stressful, but you also have PCOS in the mix. If he is a traditional man, then he feels it's role to protect you and he can't protect you from this.
Hope to see more responses from the DH/SO POV.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out
