Welcome welcome!!! We're all in the same boat.. maybe not going crazy, but having a good support system is key. Feel free to bring up whatever topics you want here.... we've got a good bunch'a boys here

I'd recommend posting a introductory message in the forum... (start a new topic) - it'll introduce you to everyone, and since this thread has been around for so long, some might have overlooked this post.

Again, Welcome aboard, look forward to chatting with you!

Man, I hope my DH doesn't come on and read my posts. He would pry be mad about some of the "intimate" details I share

I think it's awesome you guys are on though!

Hi,

I am new to Soulcysters, but I am so glad that you also have a section for partners. My BF wants to learn as much about PCOS as I do - so that he can help me through the ups and downs that you inevitably experience with PCOS.

I will be registering him so that he join the SC community!!

i think it's wonderful that there are men that are willing to take the time to understand what us ladies with pcos and IF problems are going thru... all of you men on here deserve a big round of applause!!!

Hello everyone. My wife has PCOS. We live in Regina Saskatchewan Canada. Regina has just under 200,000 people and is the capital of the Province (of 1 million people). We are new to Regina, having moved here from the Toronto area for my job.

My wife has been able to work from home, which is nice (but can be lonely), and would be nice to have some local support. We have a few friends here but this is not something I want to talk about with them (AT ALL).

I am really glad this is here-string for males-I am really concerned about this. I want kids just as much as my wife (she is signed on here too). I would love to hear from some other male's in similar situations.

Regards,
curious sbird

Hi there,

New here,

My name is Christopher, and I am the BF soon to be DH of Jennifer... Jenn-Loves-Chris. I'm wanting to be supportive and to learn more about this condition. Hope to get to know lots of you !

Wow, I had no idea of the domestic politics that can come from couples and their willingness to share this type of information on message boards. I myself find it extremely helpful, since I learn much better through visual means than verbal ones. I miss important details during discussions, but can get a much better sense of things when they are in print. Understanding this disease will help me better reassure my wife as she struggles through mood swings and bouts of depression. At least I hope so.

Being so happy-go-lucky, it can be hard to understand how serious some problems are. I appreciate all the true-life stories being documented here.

I just started this site today. My DW has been on here for a couple of months. I try to suport her as much as can. And yet I dont know much about this PCOS. So I joined, she helped me sign up. I want to learn more about this.

Hello YAll,

I am a new member and I have just recently started a serious relationship with the most amazing woman. She is worried that because of her having pcos that im going to freak. I am needing help so that I can not upset her and so that i can make her feel even more comfortable with me.

Hi. I am not sure how this all works. I am married to Isabelle and log on every once in a while to try and better understand what is going on in this world of PCOS. She is constantly cranky and emotional that it sometimes takes a toll on me. Sometimes this whole obsession of conceiving and the whole hormonal situation makes me want to get up and go. That is the monster in me talking. That is the reason I have chosen to get on and see what other men are doing about the whole situation. I have been married 12 years and to just throw that away seems crazy. I love her to death and most times she is loving and wonderful but she is so fragile. I just don't understand all of this, really I don't. I am trying to deal with this the best I can but it's ben so hard. Can anyone tell me if there is any cure for this?

I haven't posted in a long time I guess I've been trying to forget that I have this cause well I can't afford the medical help I need and feel helpless about it all and its easier to just avoid but I got a message saying there was post here and I read it and honestly it almost made me cry. I know it has to be hard on all you guys living with us cyster women...maybe that is part of why in a way I am sorta trying to and sorta not trying to scare away a guy at work who likes me and I like him back it was one of those I know I had seen him before but never really noticed him and when my best friend took me into apply almost 2 months ago and he was the senoir manager on duty and he walked out of the office and it just hit me like a brick and well I guess I did the same to him. I see him and everything but I think of all the stuff I hear about him and think how much he so doesn't deserve someone with my problems yet I can so see him being the kind to tell me to start printing off infromation (as he has no computer let alone internet access) for him and maybe even spending time searching and researching and gosh the idea of making someone have to either go blindly throuygh this or do all the research to understand what it will mean just scares the heck out of me and I have no idea how you guys can stand to deal with it...I mean you didn't ask for a women with medical problems and they aren't your medical problems but I have seen so many of you guys not only except it but research it and learn about it and deal with it and yes sometimes you complain and vent and heck so do us cysters and actually we do it more. You guys have no idea how strong you are and how wonderful you are to us and yes even to those of us who aren't your SO your great cause you support us and our(if we have one) SO and its so wonderful the faith and hope you bring to us single cyster cause when we see you guys we know that there is hope of finding someone willing to except and maybe even learn about this and help us. I just want to say thank you to all of you and tell you that we maybe a bit of a headache at times but hang in there cause you know you wuv us.

Good evening - my name is Mark (don't ask about the nickname...) and I'm the husband of my lovely wife Cathy, who is pretty active here on the site. We're TTC with the first round of injections, and it just pains me to watch her go through this. I remain optimistic, however, that God will bless us with our first child soon! Just wish it were a bit less painful for her...

Anyone got any tips for administering the injections in the least painful way? We've been through this before - Cathy is a cancer survivor and I had to administer some injections during that treatment regime - but these injections seem to be a lot more painful for her. Just want to see if there's any way I can make these a little more comfortable.

BTW, this is my first post, so if I'm in the wrong place, please let me know...

Thanks!

Mark

Hi Mark: I know Cathy and that she's doing Repronex which is one of the most irritating of the fertility drugs. It leaves a swollen sore spot on the skin for weeks sometimes. Ice packs & Tylenol were my only relief from the after effects of the injections. I was told by my Doc once (when I was doing twice daily heparin shots to prevent blood clots while pregnant), that pressing down on the injection site (hard) with your hand can help prevent later swelling and bruising - he said to hold it down for a few minutes. I didn't do this with my Repronex, but will try as I'll be doing major doses of Repronex starting next week with my IVF cycle - twice daily at 225IU per shot for about 10 days. The things we do to try to conceive. It not fair, but the end result is so wonderful. All the best to you guys and we are praying that this cycle produces a miracle for you both!!

Mindijean · 09-28-2005, 12:54 PM

Hi there Cathy's Mark!! I have no advice, as I've never done injections, but I just wanted to say hi to you and welcome you to SC!
