Yeah Im feeling okay. Have holidays starting 2nd Oct, so they cant come quick enough for me!!!
Looking foward to next Wednesday when we see Fertility Doc again. How about you??
Yea - I am good. Instead of focusing on ttc I have been focusing on my health.
I have done alot of research online about fibroids and polycystic ovaries and how to treat/improve them naturally.
I have been trying different things out to see if it is helpful or not.
Changing my eating habits, introducing more fresh fruit, veges and whole grain foods. Then an hour after eating I exercise some how to burn off the excess glucose.
PCO makes you insulin resistant so now I look at food differently - I say to myself: 'If I eat you I will have to exercise to burn off the glucose'.
I have learned that if I don't burn it off, I will produce more insulin to deal with it and then store it all in my fat cells... thus put on weight and not improve PCO.
This thought alone has helped me resist high sugar/carb food.
So my choices are - don't eat it in the first place or if I do eat it then I must exercise afterwards.
The good thing is that my clothes are already feeling more roomy and it has only been one week. Not dieting but being more deliberate in my decisions.
With fibroids, I read that Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) helps to alkaline your blood which in turn can improve fibroids (even shrink them in some cases).
A few years back I discovered the wonders of honey - which I have reintroduced into my eating plan. One of the things I used to do everyday was drink a glass of warm or chilled water with a tablespoon of ACV and a tablespoon of honey.
Then drink a warm glass of milk with honey and cinnamon before bed.
I have begun these again
My diets last a few days at most
