First Proof that PCOS More than Twice as Common in Lesbian Women

I found this really informative and interesting. I'm bisexual and also have PCOS and cycle between feeling ultra masculine, and girly and feminine.

It really is fascinating research.

I'm surprised by the high number of bi girls on this board, I expected to find more lesbians. I wonder if it means anything in terms of PCOS

I find this interesting. I considered myself heterosexual until I was 18 (and I was for sure boy crazy!) but that summer I started to notice more and more that I was very attracted to women. That is also around the same time my PCOS symptoms became obvious. Connection? Who knows? I prefer to date men because they seem to fit my personality better, but I have met women that I would have pursued had I not been in a relationship at the time. Hubby is also bi, although he didn't know that when we met!

I've been with my partner for six years. We joked about my imbalanced hormones being he reason for my gayness - statistically, the evidence is interesting. However love is spiritual/emotional, not physical. And hey, she is gay and has nno pcos.

I think whats more likely, is that the hormone imbalance could effect gender iidentity which in turn, could place you in positions and scenarios that were likely to heighten the chances of your sexuality being fluid.

I am Bi-Curious and Androgynous, I always have been since I was young. When I found out I had PCOS and Hypo, I often wondered if thats why I am Bi-Crurious and Androgynous. Now I know :3
