[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2155158, member: 401801"] Haha! You know, what I was told about PCOS was that it would mean jumping through burning hoops to get pregnant. (The insulin resistance bit was skipped over, as you know.) [B]I was so happy! [/B]Finally I could get my mother-in-law off my back, who just kept nagging me about kids all the time. Ooh they'd be so beautiful, because I was pretty before i became fat. (Gee, thanks!) Neither me nor my husband wants kids. Actually they are too overwhelming for me, there's very, very few kids I can stand to be around without wanting to run into a sound-proofed pillow fort and hide for a decade or two, so yeah... This was rather convenient, I thought. It did shut my mum-in-law right up mind you, but the downside was a rather big one. Turns out there was more to it than relative infertility and hairy legs. Ah well. The whole fat thing is a bit, you know... It takes getting used to, after having the EatWell plate and fats-are-the-devil drilled into you for practically your whole life. But fats don't have to be bad, and if you're more comfortable with the ones that are deemed "good fats", which are preferable in any case....
