PCOS Support Group?

Question

I'm thinking about starting one of these on my own. I'm going to write a tiny article in the newspaper, to advertise,then have a meeting place, where I'll give the girls lunch or something, and we can sit around and tell our stories to each other. I think hearing stories from others who are going through the same thing, would help me alot. Sound like a neat idea? I got the idea from a PCOS website, and I thought it was an awesome idea!

I want to know how many there are out there with PCOS, and I want to give them the support they need/deserve!

I just feel so alone sometimes, none of my family understands,and I have no friends, or know of anyone..yet..in my area that has PCOS.

Have any of you attended a support group, and what did you get out of it? I'm really not into the online support too well, I want to meet actual human beings! !

Happy Humpday!

Answer 3

Sounds like a great idea!  I do not have PCOS, but did participate in a Mind/Body Support group for women going through fertility treatments.  It was an amazing experience and the best thing that I did while dealing with infertility.

We met for about 2 hours every week.  The first 30 minutes was devoted to chit-chat about where we were and anything that we wanted to share.  The remaining 90 minutes focused on techniques to handle stress.  We learned about different forms of meditation, yoga, had a nutrionist as a guest speaker, a counselor to talk about how to talk to the people in your life about what you are going through and even had a couple's day because as much as we were struggling . . . our partner's were struggling, too.

Good luck and baby dust!
