I'm not sure why my symptoms are different. I've had PCOS diagnosed for 1 year. My testosterone elevated enough to make me neeeeed sex very very badly. I begged my ex boyfriend for it and that pushed him away because if I didn't get it, I'd start a fight...again testosterone. And he said I was the most beautiful woman he ever made love to, so I know it's not looks. It created anxiety (now that I know how to identify it) and made me lash out and cry, so when my doctor put me on Met, I lost the sex drive. My moods were non existant. No highs, no lows. I went off it to get some sex drive back but then I got severe anxiety. Folks: lashing out, hormonal episodes, testosterone, yes it all adds up. When on Met, hardly existant.

Husbands out there: it is VERY possible your wife dumps because she is effected hormonally. In my research they say PCOS gives depression and anxiety BECAUSE of facial hair and obesity...NO, not always. I have PCOS but no facial hair or body hair anywhere than where it should be, but I have extreme moods and anxiety, because of anxiety and hot flashes, frusteration surges during certain situations if I am not on Met. The trick for me in the future is to be on enough Met to be balanced, but not so much I loose my hunger for sex. Sex is so important to me and when on Met, it just isn't and that can make a man feel so rejected.

Is my situation different? The worse symptom for me is high sexed, aggressive and anxiety when dissappointed or heart broken. Of course weight gain (30 lbs) is part of my shyness at times, so for me, PCOS has made me loose emotional balance at times-Not always, only when heart broken or when a relationship doesn't work out (usually because I'm hormonal and not aware I am too agressive).

The one thing I need the most from my bf, are hugs and holding if irritable and if I am sexual, lots of touching. Lots. But no groping please!!! If the husbands here are groping wives, it's the wrong approach when they have lost the drive.

It's no surpruse to me women dump on men if hurt if they are not on meds. I can't control it if heart broken, deeply dissappointed and not on meds. But of course if men are doing things wrong, not listening and not asking questions, it can be a recipe for disaster.

But one thing I can say, is I never had anxiety before PCOS. Never mood swings and so I know our medical professionals are only hitting the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this disorder. There are still studies being done.
