Remember Jeff Foxworthy's hilarious series of jokes called "You might be a redneck if.."? Well, feel free to post your own humorous line for the category of "You might be a PCOS chick if..."
Here are mine:
...you give your husband tips on proper facial shaving techniques.
...people sympathetically ask if you ever fell into a vat of Rogaine.
...you have five different sizes of clothes in your closet- and you're able to wear 'em all in a one-month period.
...you either have forgotten what a tampon looks like (for those of us without menses)
...or you're solely responsible for keeping Kotex in business (for those of us who bleed like a stuck pig for weeks/months at a time)
...your fertility doctor knows you so well, they invite you over for Thanksgiving dinner.
...you keep a plumber on retainer to unplug your pipes (thanks to all the hair that falls out and builds up)

........if you've ever wondered if Sams Club sells OPK's or HPT's in bulk.
........you find yourself talking about AF, BD, CM or Met with people who have no clue what you're talking about!
.......You actually know how a woman's cycle is supposed to work, what happens and why........just not from experience.
......You at times find yourself wanted to shout from the rooftops "I o'd!!!!!!" and you're not talking about the female orgasm.
.......AF's arrival can be a big enough deal that even hubby wants to take you out to dinner, or hold you while you cry depending on the circumstance.
........you've ever played the free "trying to conceive" game on fertilityfriend.com
.......some people start the day with coffee or a shower....you start with a thermometer.

hmm you might be a pcos chick if...you own a library full of books on hormones and low carb ideas
you might be a pcos chick if....the only clothes out there that would cover your belly are maternity clothes.
you might be a pcos chick if...you have to carry a mini refigerator around with you for your snacks every 2-4 hours
you might be a pcos chick if... on more than one occasion you gather all the hair that fell off your head and your pastime is counting shedded hairs.
you might be a pcos chick if... you spend alot of time outside holding up a mirror to better scan for rogue chin hairs.

So true about being able to spot other PCOS chicks even if they don't know they are yet!
You might be a PCOS chick if......
.....you are in serious danger of suffering a punctured lung from broken underwires when you are pre-menstrual....
.....you can see those black chin hairs thru your skin b4 they reach the surface so you can pluck them...but you keep trying to get them anyway....
...you are seriously considering taking out shares in Clear Blue (or any other manufacturer of home pregnancy test kits)....
...you have a set of come back lines at the ready for every person who assumes or asks if you are pregnant...and you aren't...and might really want to be...or really not...depending on your circumstances....
...you leave offerings for any god/goddess/deity that has anything to do with fertility/motherhood/feminine energy.....even if you are not a member of the religion that worships them....

yep, the spotting another PCOS chick is SO true! I wish I could just rush over to them and hug them and say "you're beautiful honey! There's a reasn you look and feel like this, ask about PCOS. See your doctor!" I always refrain from fear of being slapped!
...When you start dreaming about eating white bread, pasta, rice or potatoes...mmm
As my tagline says................if you accidentally put on your underpants backwards and they fit better.

...you've had AF for so long you can't remember if you put a tampon in and then you think you did, but can't find the string, so you dig around looking for the blasted thing and you have a transvaginal ultrasound in 2 hours, and you don't want it shoved any deeper, and you beg your doc to see you ASAP, and race over there, anxious and sweating and oh so embarassed, and the doctor says "this is an interesting situation! I have a nice med student who would benefit from this example, do you mind if she observes" and you say "good grief" but what the heck, it isn't like you have a shred of dignity left and you get on the table and into the stirrups and she says "can you scooch down a bit honey" and then she does a cavity search for the missing tampon, and you peek with one eye and see the med student intently looking at your girl parts, and you think "my humiliation is complete"and then you find out there really ISN'T a tampon in there, and then you wonder...WHAT HAPPENED to it?? and then you search your sheets and around your bedroom wondering if you ripped it out in a wild dream last night or if it fell out and came out the bottom of your pants and its attached to your shoe and you've been walking around with it all day, and then you feel like an idiot because you just had a pelvic exam for nothing and you still have to have the transvaginal and you drank too much water and and your bladder is OVERFULL and they say "can you just excrete one cup please?" and you say "are you out of your freaking mind!?!?!" and they say "ok then, I'll just have to press harder" and there you lay, pee dribbling out and you think you're going to explode and you wonder "can this day get any worse!?!!" and then she says "can you hold it longer, I need to get my supervisor" and the supervisor does the same exam and then says "can you hold it a bit longer, I have to get the doctor" and you lay there in tears hoping the release of liquid in tear form will ease the pressure of all the liquid in your bladder and you finally have the whole blasted thing done and you go home and eat a tub of New York Superchunk Fudge icecream and follow it with a potato chip chaser and then you really feel like crap and then and then OOH MERCY ME!!
