I am so upset that I let my PCOS symptoms get this bad. I have been telling the doctors that something was wrong for years, but since one of my main concerns was weight gain, they never took me seriously. I had to see so many dr.'s before someone finally knew anything about pcos.

Now I'm a newlywed... I'm 25 and my husband and I have only been married for a year and a half. Unfortunatly for him, we got married before I gained 60 pounds, grew facial hair and learned that it will be really hard for me to get pregnant. PCOS has affected my confidence and my body image, but worst of all, it affects how he sees me. Hubby is trying to be supportive, but we haven't had sex in four months. He's even told me that he doesn't find me sexually attractive anymore (not in a mean way, but still he says what he feels). Then, to make matters worse, I was trying to track down a recipe i found last week in the computer's history and I came across *you know what*. I'm not anti dirty pics, but I was jealous of these internet girls!

I guess that's my biggest concern, but i'm also so upset at the way I look in photos, and how I can never find anything to wear that fits well. I'm not even thinking about how hard it will be to have a baby.... we'll save that for a few years from now.

I know I'm venting a ton, and sorry you all have to put up with my crazy message, but I was hoping someone had some advice... I feel really lost and don't know if it is every going to get better.

PCOS probably won't get better on its own, but many of the symptoms can be relieved with proper treatment coupled with lifestyle changes.

While it can be difficult to get an 'action plan' together, what things does your doctor bring to the table (in terms of treatments), and what things are you interested in doing?

As for DH? Maybe some of the married cysters can offer some input there...

I can kinda relate... I gained about 30 pounds in the 2-3 months before i got married, and another 30-40 in the 2-4 months immediately after. I am lucky in that I find it much more difficult than my DH. I don't know how he still finds me attractive, but he is incredibly reassuring. After the weight gain, i went to the docs and got started on metformin, which is supposed to make it easier (not easy just easier) to lose the weight. But it needs to be done with proper exercise and nutrition...which is SOO hard...

I don't have much advice, but I can lend an ear and I have some idea of what you're going through.
