I tried to explain what I know about PCOS to my husband. I don't think he gets it. He thinks that it is only about fertility. I tried to tell him about all of the other things that can go along with PCOS, and he just doesn't get it.
Does your husband understand? How did you explain it to him?
Oh well....
Thanks Ladies
Dana

My husband was with me when I got the dx so that was a little helpful. Then again I have had told him the things I have learned as well. He understands that part of it is fertility but there are other aspects that are associated with what I have. Good luck in getting your husband knowledgeable on PCOS. Welcome to the site.

my DF knows everything i know about PCOS and all the crap that comes along with it.
He understands, he doesnt like it, just like me, but he understands.
Take the time to really drill all the information you come across into your DH's head. even when you think he isnt listening or doesnt understand. i did this with DF, particularily when i found this site, i told him everytime there was something new i learned about PCOS and IF and most of the time i was repeating myself over and over but he will get it in the end.
now i only have to say one thing and DF knows what i'm refering to or are on about and its great. its alot easier when your partner can really understand what your body, and in most cases mind, are doing on a day to day basis.
my DF says to me when i get upset about having PCOS and IF, "i cant feel what you are feeling, but i understand it"

the other thing is too, how long have you known about your PCOS?
because alot of him having trouble understanding may be that you dont understand alot of it yourself, and really you are the only one who can explain it to him in a way he understands, KWIM? if you dont know, then he cant know.
it takes a long long time to get a good knowledge about it all for youself let alone getting a partner on par too.its taken us a good 2 years to be in sync.

My husband was at the gyno when I came out and told him what I have and what goes with it. I told him what the gyno wants me to do. He at first was in shock and said we will do what we gotta do. I went on Web md and printed out about PCOS and he understands and supports me.
I simply told mine everything that was involved and all I was going through and he was very understanding...tell him what you are going through and how it's bothering you..
to be honest my hubbie doesnt understand it or even want to but thats ok. he knows what he absolutly needs to know. he understands that we may have a hard time having a child together. and he knows that the best treatment is diet and exercise and that i have to take met to help with ir. other than that there isnt anything else he needs to know or even wants to know. he supports my goals and understands that im going through. i know hes there if i want to talk about it. some guys need to know all the details but others just want an outline. base the info on what you feel he needs to be supportive.

I got my diagnosis about a week and a half ago, and I didn't think hubby understood even though he was there when the consultant explained to me. I gave him a panphlet to read. I think he probably understood the first time, but once he read the panphlet I felt much more like he understood
I don't think he understands
