Hi,
About 2 years ago, I felt like I needed to tell my boyfriend about my
PCOS. We had been dating for a couple of years, and I felt like we were
about to take the next step. I wanted him to know what he was really
getting into- mood swings, weight gain, infertility etc. I wrote to
this dicussion board and asked for some suggestions and encouragement.
The women were all so encouraging and gave me lots of confidence. My
boyfriend and I went out to dinner and I told him all about it. He said
he had wondered what all the doctors appointments and medications were
about, but was thrilled to know that it was as simple as PCOS and I
wasn't dying or anything!! He laughed about the fertility question. He
said that there are loads of babies in the world who need parents and
that if we had to adopt that would be fine with him. He was actually
more ok with it all that I was!!.. I'm not sure if I ever checked back
in on this board to tell everyone how it went. But it was great. We
have a much better relationship becuase we talk about the PCOS all the
time. He goes to the doctor with me and takes an active part in
reminding me to take my meds etc. We are married now and hoping to get
preg. soon.
Thats my story :)
