And yet you’ve had people who don’t have PCOS answering, anyway. If you had defined PCOS, you might have gotten only the answers you’re interested in. Something to think about.
I apologize for hijacking the thread one more time. I won’t say anything again.
WTF? (What The Fuck?) I thought PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) was a pretty well known acronym. Some terms - UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) for example - are widely understood by their acronyms, as least by people in the US (United States), and I would have thought PCOS fit into that category. It’s certainly been discussed many times before in the MPSIMS (Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share) and IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) subforums of the SDMB (Straight Dope Message Board).
I was talking to my SO (Significant Other) about PCOS a few hours before I read the thread, as a matter of fact - one of my co-workers seems to show some of the symptoms. So I don’t think it’s all that weird a term. Of course, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).
