I just recently got diagnosed and am in a similar situation as you, me and my bf have been going together about a year, although we are very serious, pending engagment now. But since I didnt know what it was til this last week. he is being very supportive, I found the best way to help him cope is including him as much as he likes, as long as you are both comfortable. They do find it difficult to not be able to fix things or understand there is not a cure, but they will never understand the emotional side effects of the hormones part. They just dont have the same as we do. So just take the time to explain how it makes u feel, and what everything going on is. IF he truely understands or is willing to, he wont get sick of dealing with it, although you do need to set aside time, happy time for both. And I find after an emotional rant, that I get in spurts, going up to him hugging him, telling him I appericate him, am thankful for him and love him and walking away to cool down myself helps alot.

I have started taking my DH to all of my doctor's appointments with me. Since he is there and able to talk with the doctor and ask his own questions it seems that it has been easier for both of us. We approach PCOS as OUR syndrome and we battle it all together. It is easier for DH to help me if he knows what is going on.
It has helped us to share and try to be as patient as possible with eachother. I am just blessed to have a husband that is so wonderful and supportive.

Hey just thought id share a bit about my situation, about 5 yrs ago i started seeing someone we were together for 3 yrs all he could talk about was having our own kids and what not, he knoew that it was going ot be a long journey to concive and after tryign for a while i had mentioned adoption to him and he freaked out saying that there was no way he could raise someone elses baby and from that day forward our relationship completly went to the dirt which was a good thing he wasnt the right guy for me. It took a long time for me to start dating again because i thought the same thing would happen again, until i met my new guy he is the best so understanding and always there to support and help me with anything i need, he does so much reasearch and tries to learn so much which really helps out i dont feel so alone and he knows what to expect im so lucky to have him in my life i really did find my true love and cant wait for the day to come to have our miricle baby and the happy ever after life I WIsh everyone can find there soulmate and be as happy as i am!

I've been with my gf for over a year now. She claims to have liked me so much that she told me about having PCOS right away to see how I would react. Looking back, it makes me feel like she trusted me a lot because 4 or 5 other people know about her having it(she was diagnosed several years ago). Not once did I ever let it affect the feelings i was having for her or cloud my judgement. I fell inlove with her and we are discussing a long term future. She says she wishes she was "normal" but I reassure here that having PCOS doesn't make her abnormal. What I'm trying to say is, PCOS doesn't change who you are or who you are meant to be. I'm really glad to have found this forum. I hope it will help us both.

I am glad to hear that you and your GF aren't experiencing any of the negative aspects of this syndrome, ManInLove. Both of you are indeed blessed. For me, PCOS is a curse.

My DW isn't dealing with PCOS very well. We have been ttc for about 5 years now without success and I know that it hurts her deeply. The facial hair and skin tags are driving her crazy. The mood swings are sometimes unbearable and her sex drive has all but completely disappeared. I know she feels less of a woman and I know that she is experiencing some form of depression.

I try to be supportive of her but sometimes its not enough especially when she wont get treatment. She was prescribed Met but has chosen not to take it (the side effects).

All of this crap that has been caused by PCOS has put a tremendous strain on our marriage. I don't know how to deal with it anymore and I wish that I could find some serenity. For now, POCS makes me angry and I once cursed God for all the trouble it has caused.

All I know is....PCOS sucks and there's not a darn thing I can do about it.

ManInLove

I'm sorry to hear that. Every once in a while I'll experience the same thing with my girlfriend where she decides she doesn't want to take her pills. One thing I quickly learned is no matter how hard you try to convince her to take them, she'll never do it until she convinces herself. And I agree with you, PCOS does suck.

I don't know what else to say other than, if your a religious person, find serenity in your faith. And if your faith is lacking due to this dreaded circumstance, make time for discovering or re-discovering that faith. I'm not a bible thumper nor am I here to tell you that religion is the answer to all your problems. I just know for me, it helps me find inner peace which in turn helps me better deal with certain issues in life, such as those brought forth by my gf's PCOS.

Neechogan-- Sorry to hear things aren't going well. Sometimes the "treatment" is harder to handle than the disorder. And sometimes we women try to ignore it, hoping it will get better as we get older. All you can do is support her, whatever she chooses to do, even when it seems like she should do more. I hope she knows she has a man that really cares for her. Best to you, hope it improves soon.
