I'm with you on that, I haven't told many about PCOS either, my mom, dad, husband, and one or two really close friends know just very little details about it. I don't like to announce what's going on with me... I use words like 'medical issues' and etc to get around strange questions about like, 'why are you on a diet?' though I have PCOS I'm at a fairly healthy weight, but still deal with a lot of the symptoms. My husband is always being asked at work, 'when are you guys going to have kids?' I've always said a 5 year plan until I decide it's done, but honestly I have feared that, that five year plan will never come to an end, because of inability to have children of my own. However I do hold out hope that there will be some in the near future. However I understand how challenging it can be to keep on hearing friends and relatives getting pregnant. It seems like everyone around me too is getting pregnant. And I mean everyone! It's almost like getting a slap in the face from each and every woman that gets pregnant... however they don't even know that they are doing that.
It's hard and scary... however I have begun the Nutrilite system, which is supposed to be able to reverse the symptoms of PCOS, and there is a high number of women who do get pregnant while on it. http://pcos.insulitelabs.com/Insulite-PCOS-System.php ... something you might like checking into? My doctor is not supportive of finding treatment methods at all, so what I have found has been purely on my own research and time. Once you are able to get things better under control you will begin to feel better about yourself.
But yeah keeping it all to yourself is hard, I am simply a person that just doesn't share much about my most intimate self with very many people, therefore I don't find it too difficult keeping it all to myself... but that is me and my personality. My husband is the type that seems like he has to tell someone! If he's got something going on... (which seems backwards)The emotions especially can be hard to deal with, but you've got us in here to be able to help and support you.
