lol sorry, ok so I'm another nosy or (curious) woman. Justin the mere fact that you're trying puts you in leagues ahead of most men.
I can only imagine how hard it must be for your woman, I have PCOS and have reason to believe that I also have Endometriosis due to the extreme pain that I deal with on a consistent basis... which very frustratingly I have not been able to get any doctor to take me seriously beyond just prescribing me pain meds...
As I read another girl's comment, you need to be strong for her, and remain supportive. She is going to need that, and I can't say it's only going to be a month or two, it may be indefinitely, or at least until she can get solid help and have the right treatments kick in, but if you really love her you will be able to look past it. Like Richard said, she will need her space when she's moody, but don't wait too long, she may feel foolish for mood swings she can't quite control and feel that she can't approach...
I know all of this must be really challenging for most men to deal with, but it's hard for the women. Most feel depressed because they feel like they've lost their beauty.
All I can say is continue to love her, try to be understanding, but be her support. She really needs someone to help her through this time, and that's you.
Thanks for caring about her so much. It's nice to know that men out there do care.
