Food For Fertility

Taken from http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Health-Fitness/Nutrition/Foods-for-Fertility.html

Dah baca banyak kali benda2 mcm ni, setiap kali baca, mesti ade new info. Before ni aku baca, protein mesti kena makan, and eat SLOW-CARBS mcm pasta, brown rice (oh patut la dlm produk Biodex ada brown rice) lepastu baru aku baca ni protein yg harus dimakan ialah yg dari Plant sources. bukan animal. protein from animal mesti dikurangkan kot.

"Protein, mostly from plant sources. Women who ate the highest amounts of animal protein were 39 percent more likely to experience ovulatory infertility. Good choices include beans, nuts and eggs."

aku ingat semua protein pun takpe! so ayam ikan semua, still takleh ambik byk.

Slowly Digested Carbohydrates, such as pasta and whole-grain carbs. Women who ate a large amount of high glycemic-load carbs (those that are digested quickly, like white rice and potatoes) were 92 percent more likely to have ovulatory infertility than those who ate “slow carbs” (brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole-grain bread).

Good Fats including mono- and polyunsaturated fats, found in olive oil, peanut oil and canola oil, as well as cashews, almonds and seeds like sunflower and pumpkin. These fats help decrease the risk of insulin resistance and inflammation in the body—both of which can interfere with ovulation. And avoid trans fats: The more the nurses ate, the higher their risk for ovulatory infertility.

Whole milk and full-fat dairy foods. Researchers suspect that when fat is removed from milk, its hormonal makeup is altered in a way that negatively affects fertility. Make one or two of your daily dairy servings whole milk–based. - yeah ini sama mcm entry aku psl Low Fat milk tu. aku sampai skang mmg dah takbeli LOW-FAT milk.
untuk fertility, mmg tak elok.
Brown rice pun bagus untuk regulate insulin.

aku dah 6 hari tak makan nasik. tibe2 hari ni aku makan balik. pagi tadi. sbb aku susah nak berak kalau tak makan nasik. hohoho...ok limit kan je lah. so harini dah takyah makan nasik dah.

aku avoid nasik bukan sbb nak diet ke hape. sbb aku mmg kene kurangkan carbs sbb aku insulin resistant.

rasa mcm nak beli biodex balik...tattau mana satu yg nak dibuat..aku baru baca kat website biodex yg kebanyakkan produk yg die kate "untuk meningkatkan kesuburan" tu ada brown rice. TAPI, ade jugak SOY.

so skang ni aku tattau adakah PCOS mcm aku yg ambik ubat subor, boleh ambik produk2 yg ada SOY.
sbb aku cari info, ada yg kata PCOS takBOLEH ambik SOY. sbb die lagi akan mem-PCOS-kan kite. ada yg kata SOY boleh ambik tapi kena kurangkan. yg aku tau SOY tu ada phytoestrogen kan. so kalau kite2 yg jahil tattau sgt sains ni anggap, oh kalau hormon tak balance, kena ambik apa2 yg leh increase hormon (like estrogen).

kalau kite ambik ubat subur, takkesah la clomid atau letrozole(femara) both work the same way.
iaitu, dengan menipu otak kite bahawa estrogen tak cukop. kalau letrozole, dia cume tipu hormon aromatase (hormon utk trigger estrogen dan LH ) untuk STOP bekerja. jadi OTAK kita fikir, estrogen punye supply takde, n dia pun hantar information untuk release hormon2 sepatutnye utk develop follicles n buat kite ovulate. (KOT LA betulkan kalau aku salah)
aku pon bukan doc.

so kalau kite ambik SOY, die akan interfere dgn proses2 yg ubat subur tu tgh buat. dan membuatkan hormon kite jadi lagi kelamkabot. satu kata kene supply estrogen sbb tak cukop, jakgi pegi ambik SOY plak. otak pon pening, Eh tadi kata takcukop, ni ada byk ni??

lepas tu pulak bila estrogen sgt byk,..estrogen tu akan di-convertkan jadi testosterone. jadi untuk bangsa2 PCOS mcm aku, yang dah sah2 testosterone lebih, lagi la membuatkan lagi SUSAH nak stimulate ovaries n ovulate...

maybe org yg takde PCOS die boleh ambik SOY dgn selamat.

mcm tu la yg aku pikir...aku rase aku ni byk sgt pikir la. huhu.

kdg2 kalau pharmacist pon tak la semua die tau..die tau dari segi pharmacology je la tapi bukan dari segi medical. bukan la aku lebih tau dari pharmacist tapi aku yg mempunyai penyakit ini, pharmacist itu tidak ada.

aku cite sal pharmacist ni sbb aritu mase lepak kat upstairs cafe dgn zack&nana aku singgah farmasi sbelah tu. aku cite kat die sket prob aku hormon tak balance semua n tgh struggle utk conceive...amoi tu suggest aku ambik SOY / SOY ISOflavones. ade soy yg mahal dlm tablet..ade yg dlm serbuk.

kdg2 bile kite nak berusaha tu selagi boleh, semue benda nak disebatnye. aku beli Soy powder tu. dia ade tambah dgn barley. aku minum skali je. esok tu google jakgi jumpe "Soy is bad for PCOS"

hohoho jadi terus takk minum.

hSG - hysterosalpinggogram

Masa buat hsg ni Feb 2011 tapi sbb payah nak ambik gamba, aku tak upload2..smlm aku cube gak ambik, sbb dia xray kan. kene cari lampu plak.



that's my tubes! mmg rupe mcm pelik, tapi bile aku google org lain punye hsg, rupenye lebeh kurang je. mmg rahim ada mcm2 rupa dan kedudukan. so sah2 mmg rahim aku kebelakang sket, dan ke kiri. L tu aku rasa Left kot?

dr delaila kate tube aku semue ok tapi halus, but its fine.

the whole thing looks like this.

my result:



No abnormal clarification seen. 
The uterus and tubes appear normal.
Good and free spill noted bilaterally. 

normal tubes are like this:

haa mcm lebih kurang kan? org ni punye pon kedudukan die mcm rahim aku.
kalau blocked tube:



blah kanan tube org ni blocked, dye tu tak spill betul2..n takleh lalu pon semua..tapi kedudukan dah cantik, betul2 tengah.

Alhamdulillah my tubes are fine. sgt syukor. sbb kalau tube sumbat, lagi complicated..lagi rasa mcm jauh lagi perjalanan..yg PCOS mcm aku ni pon rase mcm jaoh gile perjalanan..

tpi dlm xray tu pelvic aku mcm kecik gile je? ke mmg mcm tu..heheh..kalau aku pregnant mesti nak beranak kene c-zer :-| erkk..eh tattau ah..itu dlm gamba je.

BBT as for today :

ha naik sket arini, means progesterone is increasing!!...but did i ovulate?? haih tattau..

please la naik lagiiiiii ..

Make an ovulation ticker

Wah, kalau betol boleh ikot tepat2 mcm ticker atas ni, alangkah senangnya. Aku tak sure aku dah ovulate ke tak, kalau ikotkan lining, dr delaila kate belum waktu subur, tapi itu isnin lepas (16/5/2011) hari ini khamis, like doc said, mgkin dah subur waktu ni. semalam temp aku drop, kalau betul aku ovulate temp aku kene mendadak naik hari ini. tapi die naik sket je. kelakar la kdg2 hormon pompuan ni. so aku taktau apekah maksudnye. estrogen tgh high skang tu pasti, sebab muke aku naik jerawat. bile nak ovulate, estrogen akan high. itu yg aku tau. tapi lepas temp tu drop (drop means estrogen is high) patutnye die naik mendadak. jadi jika die naik sket tu ape maksud?

iskkk



HA apekah maksudnye?

patut harini kene gi checkup lagi...aku duit dah la kering. taktau nak gi ke tak. pegi pon semata2 check follicles je nih..kalau besar doc maybe akan inject hcg..kalau taknak buleh ke eh? hehehe, adekah kite akan ovulate jugak without the hcg trigger. sape tau?

aku rase maybe follies yg blah kiri ni dah grown bigger kot sbb smlm sakit, harini pun sakit. aku rase mcm ni bile makan ubat subor je, kalau tak mmg xpenah rase. nampak sgt jarang gile aku ovulate seumor hidup aku..



smlm aku gi guardian time lunch..beli B Complex (21st Century). before ni aku ambik B Executive, tapi bile tgk betol2 jumlah mg dan jenis B vitamins yg ada dlm B Complex, its better than B Executive sbb yg aku beli ni, selain B1 B2 B3 B5 B6 B12, ada Inositol (B8) and PABA (Para Amino blablablabla lupe xingat) these are the benefits of both of them for PCOS.

Inositol and PCOS (article)

Inositol may be important for PCOS women for at least three reasons:

* It may aid insulin action and thus reduce insulin resistance.
* It may help to relieve depression, which is common in polycystic ovary syndrome.
* It helps your liver to metabolize fat.

Inositol is a compound that has nine different forms. The most well-known and nutritionally active form is "myo-inositol", which most people simply refer to as "inositol". It is a necessary component of the membranes of your cells and is vital to many biological processes in your body. It is a precursor to a number of essential "signaling molecules" that instruct cells how to behave.

Some of inositol's signaling is related to activation of serotonin receptors, which could relieve depression and improve appetite balance. Serotonin is a brain chemical with several important functions in the body, including mood and appetite regulation.

Inositol is also a fat-solublizing agent that helps to transport fat from the liver. For those overweight PCOS women who may have a problem with fatty liver congestion, inositol can be helpful.

Although inositol is widely thought of as a member of the B-vitamin family, it is technically not a vitamin because the body can manufacture inositol and is not required to get it from the diet.

PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) 

PABA is a B Complex vitamin that is synthesized in the body. PABA is believed to increase the ability of estrogen to facilitate fertility and increases the ability of some infertile women to become pregnant. A clinical trial reported that 12 of 16 previously infertile women were able to become pregnant after supplementing with PABA over several months.

yg lain boleh just google, byk sgt info. before ni aku ambik B Executive, takde dua benda ni...hm try pulak kalini tgk mcm mana.

susahnye nak pregnant kan. takpe la, tuhan nak uji. probs aku bukan la complicated mana. agak complicated kdg2 sbb aku xpaham dgn body system sendiri tapi sebenanye sebab2 aku susah pregnant yg telah 'dikenalpasti' adalah:

1. Polycystic Ovaries.

2. Follicles kecik2, tak matang.

3. Progesterone & Estrogen yang tak balance yang menyebabkan 2 perkara di atas.

4. Insulin Resistant - dan menyebabnye berlakunya 3 perkara di atas.

im 27, still young, how to solve the probs above??
masih ada 3 years sebelom 30tahun, where chances akan berkurang,..tapi kita taktau tuhan nak kasi mcm mana. tah2 lepas 30tahun aku baru subur?

no one knows..
