Me and my girlfriend have been together for a little more than a year now and i can safely say that she is the first woman ive ever fallen in love with i would do absolutely anything for her and i know she knows that.. there had been some serious symptoms of PCOS going on in her everyday life i.e.. body weight, hair, missed periods etc. so we had started researching on what this could be cause it had become apparent that she was sick with something so we started looking up on every site and listening to doctors and reading up on peoples different experiences to find out what it could have been and it just became that the most logical of things was either ovarian cysts, a medical problem from a previous medical procedure, or PCOS.. so from early on (since we are complete hypocondriachts) we had already known about PCOS and had researched it enough that we were ready when we found out that she had PCOS roughly about 3-4 months later and from probably id say around august too october and early november was the entire discovering prcoess going to differnt doctors and seeing differnt people getting suggested for a therapist and all sorts of other things so we were honestly fairly lucky considering so many differnt womens stories of PCOS and not being able to be diagnosed untill you know 2 years later after they go to a differnt country to find a doctor that can actually tell them what is going on..
PCOS as you already know is a fairly knew medical condition considering the time frame that its in and its extremely EXTREMELY over looked and personally i wish i could do something to get it more exposed to the world and make it as big for the rest of the world as it is for us men and women that are dealing with it in our everyday lives.. As a man that loves his woman to death (and i can tell you love yours) it is an esentiall to be there for them as much as you possibly can and trust me justin ANY ounce of effort or love that is shown is appreciated trust me on that anything you can do for your woman or to help your woman is greatly apprecaited and you will be loved 10x more just for that.. you need to show initiative past the point of where a normal man would stop dont just look up PCOS on the internet get involved like you are i went out and bought PCOS books to read and have read over and over again ive read this site top to bottom as well as other sites ive talked with my woman about PCOS and its more or less a daily occurence in all conversation between us.. you need to be as supporting as you can and i HATE hearing about men who dont know how to deal/cope with your womans problems that come along with PCOS like the physical ones.. if you love your woman and you really do understand and want to be the best for her then you should have no problem "dealing" with the excess hair and body weight and all the other physical attritubtes that come along with the nastiness of PCOS in general.. and honestly if you love your woman and your a good man you shouldnt even see the physical differnces and you shouldnt let them bother you at all.. from what ive learned justin is that you want to be there for your love you need to sit there and talk to her and ask her what you can do you ned to discuss it with her.. dont be afraid to ask what it feels like.. every woman with PCOS feels as if no one else has what they have.. you need to get to a level of comfort with her as to be able to say that you kind of understand the pain and such of whats going on.. you need to make sure that she isnt lonley justin and make sure that she ISNT alone do cute things send flowers and makeup (my woman loves LOVES mac) do what you can to make her happy and do what you can to be the BEST for her.. you cant settle for just okay you need to be the best you can be to the utmost.. look up PCOS, talk to her about it and get in her head, love her with all of your heart, buy books they help alot.. look for lower glycemc index recipes online for her and buy her a cook book and send it.. theres so many amazing things you can do to help her every man just needs to realize that there is a way and that there is something you can do to make your womans life so much easier.. honestly bro above all things just LOVE your woman if you really do love her youll know what to do in every situation and youll know what to do for everything.. just love her love yourself and be the best man you can be for her.. she will notice what your doing and she will love you much more for it and it will really help her alot trust me.. but dont forget she needs space lmao trust me if you start to get annoying or shes having a bad day just leave her alone lol.. good luck justin i wish the best for you honestly if you have ANY questions at all feel free to write back to me il answer anything i can for you bro

Richard,
I don't mean to be an overly emotional woman with PCOS, but your post made me cry. Thank you for expressing your care and concern for the woman you love, it really means a lot to those of us women who come in and read.
My husband is definitely not one to be open with his feelings and it is only recently that I have even openly shared with him about my condition of PCOS. When we were married I had told him I may have issues with having children, but I never said much more on the issue... I was always afraid that a man could never love me for the freak I thought I was, and felt that it was too good to be true when it really did happen.
Even though he is supportive of me finding methods that benefit me... it would be nice if he could be so understanding. And I feel that I should be more understanding as well, for it must be hard to deal with the every day uncertainties, and mood swings, days where I'm depressed, or in too much pain to get out of bed.
The woman you love is truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your love and strength with her, she deserves it. It's nice to know that there are men out there like you.

frusteratedwife.....thank you for the insight in the mind of a woman that has these obstacles....it is a different view and it lets me know why she acts like she does sometimes (not bad at all, just realizing them)....I thank you so much for sharing that and for the support and words of advice....

thank you,
Justin D.
