There's a "pamplet for husbands/loved ones" or something pinned on this board. It does a pretty good job explaining it. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/publication...OS_booklet.pdf here's a booklet about PCOS from the National Institute of Health... and it's actually fairly comprehensive, and its name helps.. "Beyond Infertility"... it talks about PCOS and the rest of it. It is really quite important to know what it means for things beyond getting pregnant.. like that having PCOS heightens your risks for heart attacks, heart disease, diabetes, and reproductive cancers... and one of the biggest things any of us can do to improve our condition is to keep on working on the weight loss- because studies have shown that weight loss improves nearly every symptom and aspect of the syndrome- and your DH can help you and be your cheerleader in that, if he realizes that it is important.
