my boyfriend doesnt seem to think that me having pcos is that big of a deal. i dont feel like he is very supportive at all. I was telling him i wanted to help people become more aware about pcos and he said that I am going to be making myself a target for people to make fun of me etc and that I am just looking for people to feel sorry for me. I have joined some support boards and other places on myspace he just isnt taking this seriously. Help please what do i do
Focus on yourself and either he will learn to at the very least accept it/be supportive/etc. If not he's not the right one for you.

As far as the boyfriend issue....well personal opinion, he's not concerned about you being picked on but other people finding out and him getting picked on. If there is one thing i've learned people similar to him are out for one person and one person only, self!
There is nothing you can do about him. From the sounds of it he's young.
A PCOS women isn't for everyone. It honestly takes a very special kind of guy to really love and enjoy a PCOS women, who can roll with the punches we all take, to roll with the rollercoaster of emotions we all have.
Concentrate on you! Don't worry about what he thinks or spills out an orafice that sound comes out of. Keep moving foward. WE've all felt the need to help others understand this. By learned about it yourself, you are helping others. Your also giving it a face, a name, and a personality. Don't let anything slow you down! (including him)

It sounds like he's got a crap attitude to be honest, but at the same time, many people don't understand a person's situation until they've been in their shoes, or suffered a lot themselves in other ways.
Glad you've joined up on here though as it couldn't be a more supportive and understanding place.

Angel, I commend you for wanting to get out there and help people who are also facing the battle of PCOS. Little is known about it, so the more people we have out there educating others is a step in the right direction in getting more research done about it. Don't lose heart; what you're wanting to do is an awesome thing.
As for your boyfriend, if he doesn't think that PCOS is a big deal, then he knows absolutely nothing about it. If he were to marry you, then down the road, it would become a very real and very big deal to him when it came time to have children. People with PCOS suffer from infertility and high rates of miscarriage. And later in life, it can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
For him not to be supportive of PCOS and what you're wanting to do, then he might as well not support you and the beliefs you hold.
If you feel strongly in your quest to spread the word about PCOS and to help others, then you have to evaluate where he stands in your quest. Will he provide the encouragement that you need or will he simply be an obstacle standing in your way?
I personally think you should do what you feel is right reguardless of what your boyfriend says. thats what i have to do with my dh he feels that if im on here all the time that it has taken over my life and i feel that isnt true.
pcos is a big thing to all of us who has it.

I explained it to dh like this:
How would you feel if you had something wrong with your sperm and you were unable to make a woman pregnant?
He totally got that, I told him it makes me feel like less of a woman sometimes, and explained it to him that way and he totally got it.
