My boyfriend knows all about PCOS because i've shared it with him, because it's become a big part of me.. and im overweight because of it.. and sometimes my boyfriend will be like.. "how you thought about losing some weight" up until recently he didn't know that my weight problem was because of PCOS. and so now that he knows that he understands that yes i can lose a portion of the weight.. but it'll always be in my lower stomache. like my doctor had told me.
so i was wondering if anyone else has delt with this.. and if they've been able to lose a portion of the weight.. or if their boyfriend just deals with it and loves them anyway.
Hi there! I actually dont have a boyfriend. I have a wifey and she loves me just the way I am. I actually hadn't had the discussion with her about PCOS until yesterday. She took it well. Your boyfriend should be mature enough to understand that you (nor any of us) did not ask for this. We are simply making the best of it and he should be able to accept that! He will love you for who you are, no matter what!
Welcome to SC and feel free to PM me at anytime if you need to! I am always avaliable!
I'm 18 and I've been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years. We started dating before I started gaining weight, but even now that I've gained quite a bit of weight-- especially in my lower stomach, he is still completely in love with me. I've explained to him about my PCOS and, honestly, I think he is just a relieved as I am to have an explanation for my pain. So, in my opinion, I think your boyfriend should just deal with it. PCOS doesn't change who you are inside and love is about what's on the inside. As for losing weight, I am trying to diet right now-- with little success, but my doctor assures me it is possible. So i'm doing my best to cut out excess sugar and stick with whole wheat.

he doesn't find my weight an issue at all.. he's just mentioned it before.. and i was like look and explained all this to him. and he's totally fine with it. i was just wondering if others delt with it too.
My boyfriend and I have been together since I was fourteen. Im not practically 19. I have been dealing with this since we have been together and I just got diagnosed...I thought I was preggo..go figure..And so now we are both just so happy theres a Dx. We are just afraid about the conception because we both want kids..bad..But he loves me the way I am and thats awesome..So..if your boyfriend doesnt love you the way you are, he isnt worth it! But if he does, thats great!
My boyfriend knows all about my pcos, i ve been upfront with him about it, and yeah its hard being over weight i know hes happy with me as i am but both of us would like me to lose weight for my health more than anything and because hopefully it will be easier and safer for when we start ttc in a couple of years times. Everyone else is right tho if he has a problem with it then hes not worth it, but it doesnt sound like he has so good luck to you both and your weightloss goals

I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and he's never had a problem. I've gained about 50 pounds and he could care less. He tells me how beautiful I am each and everyday. He does want us to start working out and eating right. Which is right I want to be healthy.

Hullo!
Well currently I'm single, but I've had three boyfriends in my lifetime, all of which I obtained after being diagnosed with PCOS.
I never told any of them about my condition, & that could probably be why I'm single now. Ahaha. They were understanding of my weight, but my mood swings would just be -horrible-.
So drama ensued. ]: le sigh.
But anyh00s.
The next serious boyfriend I ever get will definitely know. It's better to just lay it all out there, so that he can understand what I'm going through, instead of mentally declaring me crazy & packing up his bags before the first month anniversary. Haha.
& you can lose stomach fat when you have PCOS.
Your doctor's horrible for saying that. ]:

Well I have a husband not a boyfriend. He doesn't mind that i fluctuate between about 10 pounds. I read somewhere that men prefer there significant other the way they met them. Size, hair color and so on.
It is important to be at a healthy weight and not blame the problem on PCOS. I had gained about 20 pounds at one point. I went on Jenny Craig and to worked great. I lost all 20 pounds. I still eat as though I am on that diet by counting my calories and eating 6 small meals a day. This keeps my metabolism going.
Good luck and make sure you communicate with your bf.
I don't have a boyfriend now... haven't had one for two years! But I did have one...and thanks to my love back then I was for the first time able to loose weight and I felt great! But I didn't know about PCOS back then... I just knew something was wrong and I didn't got my period and such... I never talked much about it to him... although I did tell him that I hadn't had my period for 5-6 months... and he was like :O woot?! And you didn't tell me! Hehe...anyway... since then I have become much more aware of my body and the problems with it... and with my problems... and... let's just say it's not getting easier to even think about getting a boyfriend again! Because... I can't see how I can have a boyfriend when I feel so bad about myself! My ex never said anything bad about my body... he said he loved it the way it was.... but I just had that little voice in my head saying "Blah blah... you have to say that... shut up and tell me the truth" Hmmm... soo... I must have been a nightmare hehe... well, but if I should get another boyfriend, and it got serious, I would tell him about the condition, because that would explain a lot of things!
I have a fiance who loves me the way I am, im not a big girl but i do carry a bit of a podge on my stomachdue to PcoS i cando sit ups till the cows come home and it will still be there but ohh well I am happy with the way i look and he dosnt seem to care tbh lol
Sa xXx

I am no longer a plus size but when I started High School was when I really started noticing the fact that I couldn't drop a single pound and I stopped having my period. I'm only 5'3 and being over 200lbs when you're a kid is harsh. I finally was diagnosed when I turned 17. I started on the metaformin and the weight started melting off. I remained a size 12 for a few years and still had a hard time getting the last 30lbs off. I had been in two serious relationships. The last relationship was the hardest due to the issues at the end of the relationship. I had to constantly defend the symptoms of PCOS to this person, but he never seemed to listen. I dropped the rest of the weight and I never felt better. The physical should never be a factor in a relationship but it seems to really take hold in certain situations. I am now with someone that also has to battle the buldge per say and it's great when your boyfriend is also your work out buddy. I'm still only 5'3 but I'm down to the low 130's. I'm at very manageable weight and I'm healthy.
My husband knows all about my PCOS, as we had already been together for eight years when the symptoms first manifested themselves.
He is always encouraging me to lose weight because he knows it will be the biggest step towards minimizing my symptoms and getting more healthy in general.
I've never attributed my weight to PCOS. I know too many people who have maintained a healthy weight despite PCOS. It's just they are far more diligent and motivated than me.
I have seen first hand how successfully I can lose weight when I truly apply myself to diet an exercise. I lost 30 pounds in three months by cutting back on my carbohydrates and exercising every day. So, it can be done.
And I've seen before and after pics from the gals who participated in the bootcamp and some of them came out with a six pack stomach.
PCOS may have made it easier for me to gain weight, as back then I didn't know that all those low fat, high carb diets were not right for my condition.
Now that I have the knowledge, I know how I need to eat and how to exercise my body to get to a healthy weight. I'm not taking those steps, and that's the real reason I'm still overweight . . . not because of PCOS.
Boyfriends..? 
My ex never said anything bad about my body... he said he loved it the way it was.... but I just had that little voice in my head saying "Blah blah... you have to say that... shut up and tell me the truth" Hmmm... soo... I must have been a nightmare hehe... well, but if I should get another boyfriend, and it got serious, I would tell him about the condition, because that would explain a lot of things!
