Hello

This is my first post on here. My wife forced me under great duress to register on here and voice my opinion!!

This site is not just a great forum for women with PCOS to share information and support but it also helps those of us who have to stand by and watch you go through all the struggles that are associated with PCOS and helps us help and support you. Has your husband been on this site before?

Before I met my wife Eloise, I had never even heard of PCOS and had the usual preconceptions about weight loss etc, not that that stopped me from falling in love with my wife! So I can understand where your husband is coming from. It sounds to me like your husband might be getting bad advice from someone else, maybe a best friend or family member who doesn't know very much about PCOS. When my wife told me about PCOS I read a book about it and she would read off lots of different articles from this site which helped me to understand better what PCOS is all about.

I was a bit worried when Eloise told me she wanted to go on Metformin (i'm not a big fan of drugs, I don't even take aspirin) but when I read more about it and went in with her to see the GP (doc) last week I realised it was the best thing.

If your husband wants to talk, i'd be happy to hear from him, my email is mrbeavs@aol.com. Good luck to you both.
