I just recently a few months ago found out that I had PCO. Since then I've kinda ignored it and not thought about it so much. My doctor put me on Yasmin birth control pills so I could regulate my periods and also help the hair growth. My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months now. He cares a lot about me and we even plan on marrying each other and having children hopefully someday. He knows that I'm taking birth control pills but isn't fully aware why. He thinks I'm just taking them because we're sexually active. When I found out that I have PCO I told him that my doctor put me on birth control and I can't get pregnant but if I want to I have to take other pills..I feel like I'm hiding this from him. And can't go through dealing with this alone anymore. I haven't told him yet. And seems like I take my anger out on him that I have this lately. It's an easier solution than telling him why I have all this anger but it's not right. That's why this weekend I plan on telling him. I just don't know how he'll react and I'm a little scared he'll leave me. But I'm positive that he loves me and will accept it. But at the same time how do I bring it up and explain it to him?
Sounds like you know exactly what to do. You obviously feel bad about hiding it from him. If you expect a long term relationship you owe it to him to tell. You can also suggest that you research it together. then he will feel like hes a part of it hope this helps.
I called him today after he was done work as always. And told him that I have to talk to him seriously and can't hide it anymore and I told him I'd rather do it in person than on the phone or on a messenger. I also asked him if he would be mad if I changed my mind about telling him. And he said he would be if it was something that would affect our future together. I really hope all goes well.
When I found out i had PCOS, my ex and i were together for just over a year. We both wanted to marry each other, and maybe kids, we weren't too sure yet. I hid it from him because i didn't want him to know what was wrong with me cause i didn't fully understand. When i did tell him, it didn't phase him one bit. All he wanted to know was what he could do to help me out. We're still friends, and he's still curious about how im handling it.

Thanks for all the advice. He's coming over tonight so I can tell him in person. I'm pretty sure he'll be understanding. He said he just wants to get this talk over with and know. So I'm ready and I'm just going to tell him what I know and how I feel and see how he reacts to all of it.

I hope it went well. Its always hard when you have to share this with someone, even if its your best friend. We all think no one else will understand what we're going through, and truly no-one actually does. But the support and love can really make a lot of difference. Good luck.
Thanks guys for all the help. It went better than I thought it would. He said I shouldn't worry about it. As long as there are ways of helping me get pregnant then it won't be a problem. He's also supportive and even coming with me to my next doctors visit!
I had that same problem with my finace when we 1st met then we started talking about having kids and i told we would need help and he asked why and i told him and he reacted fine he was like okay we arent gonna let this ruin our relationship or having kids...just be totally honest with him if hes the right one he will understand fully and back u up 100%
Good luck babygirl

You guys are really lucky with guys like that, supportive and helpful... I TOLD my boyfriend months ago, but we've kind of ignored it ever since. Today it finally just clicked for him... he's really angry right now, but not with me.. he says it isn't fair that I diet and exercise somuch, with so little results, and is blaming everything he can for my PCOS... it's really depressing, because I hate to stress him out somuch with my problems. He doesn't want to deal with it at all... thinks if we ignore it, it'll just go away in time... I really don't know how all your guys deal with it. How do they know HOW to?
I've seen so many people react that way- they really believe that one ignores it, it will go away. I still have a hard time making my mom understand that its not something that will vanish overnight.
I do think you need to probably get him some literature on what this thing really is about, and how not all exercising and dieting in the world will get us to be 100% right. If he's that stressed out, I can only imagine how your hormones are doing. Take care. Hang in there.

Thankss. Actually, he's told me my exercising is pointless and that if I eat any less I'm going to die. ^^;; He doesn't really care what my weight is... that's all me. He just thinks the things that go along with this isn't fair to either of us... I might just make him read up on it sometime, though... good idea there.
