Last night I was sitting at the same bar that I go to every weekend. A friend came in and was sitting alone so I went and sat with him. He asked how I was in general and then proceeded to ask me about PCOS. We sat there and talked about it for 3 hours. He even ignored his wife to keep asking me questions. (when she showed up) I told him everything that I knew and what was happening with my doctor. He continued to ask how I felt about the whole thing. He got me to actually get out how I felt about the whole thing and I felt great afterwards even though I was crying, he appologized for making me cry. and I told him not too worry, I needed it. I was diagnosed in March 2001 and this is the first time I could really get it out. It was so nice for someone to put their own feelings aside and actually care about what was going on with me. he made me feel special. now I need to do something to make him feel equally as special. Can anyone give me hints on what I can do for him?? I want him to know that I really appreciate our talk that we had and I want him to know it meant a lot to me for someone to care like that. I just wanted to take the time and let you guys know about that since it meant a lot to me.

I am sooo happy that you had such a wonderful experience!! I always feel that I do the listening to my friends' problems, but I don't ever feel listened to myself! (Except for my SO, he is great, but I don't want to overwhelm him!) It must have been such a release for you!
My suggestion is to give him a copy of the post you wrote...you have expressed yourself well, and maybe a gift certificate for him and his wife for luch or dinner. I think his wife would think this was great too!

It's nice when people understand. I recently told my Team Leader durning a performance review about PCOS and TTC and she was great. She told me that if I ever needed time off of work for any reason, to let her know. She said I should do whatever it takes to have a child. It's nice when people understand.
The best thing you can do for your friend is let him know that if he ever needs to talk to you about anything, you will be there for him. Also, I would send him a nice card expressing gratitude for his friendship.
Wow I haven't been on here in such a long time, but came back today I dont know why but something told me to check in. I read this post that I posted almost 7 years ago....and the really funny thing about this is....I married that guy! I started dating him in 2003 and married him in 2005. I guess him helping me pour out my feelings did more then I actually though. Still with him 6.5 years later! Wow...funny how some things work out!
