Hi! I am new to the board, but I wanted to get any man's advice on here about what my DH may be going through. I was diagnosed with PCOS in August and we are not TTC currently, but will within the next year. My DH seems to be in denial that this may interfere with us getting pregnant, or at least make it more difficult. When your SO told you about PCOS, what did you guys go through? How did you feel? What questions did you have?

It's very frustrating to me b/c it comes across to me that my DH is blowing it off, when deep down, I know that he is just being optimistic and doesn't see a need to worry when we don't know for sure. I get that, but at the same time, knowing how much having children means to me, makes me think that this would be reason enough to show some concern.

Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit. He has listen to me obsess over PCOS, TTC, etc for the past 3 months without saying that I'm getting on his nerves. That, I will give to him! And let me tell you, I have been obsessing! =) It's hard not to when out of nowhere your clock starts ticking louder than it ever has before or ever thought it would at my age!

Anyway, I would appreciate a man's perspective of dealing with their SO's PCOS.

Thanks,
Andrea
