Richard- It sounds to me like your gf is very lucky to have you. I was dx this past July and I am still learning as well. What helps me feel good is when my husband tells me that he wishes that it was him and not me and that he loves me no matter what and that I am beautiful.It does make you feel beautiful and special because you don't always fell that way and hearing it doesboot your self-esteem.It also makes me thankful that I have such a wonderful man in my life. Just by reading your message you seem just like him. I think that you are doing a great job already. Hang in there on the bad days and if your gf just wants to vent, just be there to listen. That means alot.(atleast to me)
I also agree with Bex89 when she said that even though many women have PCOS you still feel alone and you still feel like no one understands. For me this webite helped me feel a little more like I am not alone and there are women who do understand how I feel at times.
When it comes to PCOS every women who has it is a little different. It takes time for your body to get use to medication. How long has your gf been on YAz? Your body takes about 3 months to get use to birt control because it has to build up in your system, so if it hasn't been that long then I would tell her to hang in there if i has been alot longer then that then I would talk to the doctor about changing it to another form of birth control.
I hope this has helped you in someway.
Good luck to you both. |
