posting here is a good start.
lots to learn here. roam around the site and read read read.
the information on its own merits is valuable enough but better
still are the insights you will obtain by whats not said as much as
what is. be careful about what all you post about openly here. even tho this section is supposed to be for us guys more often than not threads here get hijacked by a few cysters that dont think 9999999 percent of the site is enough. (esp newer members that havent figured it out yet) you are welcome anytime to send me a PM with an email address and ill be happy to discuss anything you like off site.
PCOS is a pain for sure. each day is different and as ever some days are certainly better than others. be there, be supportive, shut-up and listen seems to work pretty well too. nikbee knows im quite cognizant of PCOS and what that entails- she knows too i cut her a lot of slack when it comes to being tempermental or moody but also knows i dont let her play it as a crutch to take advantage of.
TTC, a whole 'nother issue. we have been fighting this particular demon for a while now and have finally gotten to the point where we decided to just quit worrying about it. what will be will be. its gets old for sure. the doctors visits, the pills, stocking up on EPT tests, getting our hopes up only to be crushed yet again. the first miscarriage is the easiest- they only get harder from there.
the mood swings, what man hasnt been around a moody woman for at least a few days each month? with PCOS its moody all the time. you get used to it. i advise to never walk around on eggshells. if you are familiar with that expression.... you cant live your life in constant fear of pissing off your wife. be yourself. by that im not saying be a jerk... just dont go way out of your way to be perfect. that will just drive you crazy.
weight gain, hair, etc... i dont notice that stuff. nikbee is nikbee and thats all there is to it. she's my other half, my soulmate, my partner. all her hair could fall out and she grow a horn out of her forehead i wouldnt care. she is as always my sexy redhead trophy wife. the hormones? the only real issue here is what im assuming is elevated testosterone. ive never seen a woman with such a high sex drive. dont envy me LOLOLOL this is way beyond every high school boy's dream..... damn,,, i cant keep up. ive noticed a direct linear relationship to the intensity of the sex drive to the affects of the PCOS. i truly hate having to be the one to say "no" but sometimes i just cant keep up. put that in pill form and we would be instant millionaires.
beyond that i dont know what else to add. nikbee and i are partners in life. what affects her affects me. this is not her problem i have to contend with. its OUR problem we face together. we actively work on this and not a day goes by its not mentioned in one fashion or another. we discuss things, work things out, give and take. i do my best to take good care of her and never forget that she is dearly loved. she feels bad sometimes because she knows that the PCOS can be a drag but times like those i give an extra hug or two and a "its okay".
best of luck to you and yours.
