Im so glad I found your post - it sounds like exactly how I'm feeling. The only one who knows I have PCOS is my hubby, I ave not told my friends or family. I think deep down Im a little embarressed although I know its nothing to be ashamed of and I feel like they will always be asking me how things are going every five mins.
I especially avoid telling people at work coz Im so scared it will affect my job. I work in sales and I have a big patch at the moment, Im worried if they know I am actively TTC they will switch me with someone else on a smaller patch and it will affect my performance, Im also worried they will think I wont ever go back to work (which i will have to for financial reasons)
However, I recently did a psychological test as part of a training course at work and it showed up that I was really stressed and its affecting my work so ive decided its time to tell everyone whats going on - im guessing if they understand why im feeling so bad it might buy me some flexibility as its getting to the stage now where im having pretty regular hospital visits and its really hard to fit this around work.
Hope i dont chicken out!!! |
