Apple Cider Vinegar and PCOS

Source: http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=23919x57319x49307314

There has been a lot of information that has been spread around about Apple Cider Vinegar and how it helps PCOS and its underlying cause Insulin Resistance. I decided to do my own research and this is what I found:

If you suffer from PCOS and Insulin Resistance:
- Take Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) before or during your meals. This allows the ACV to absorb into your system and start working.
- By taking ACV before or during your meals it helps reduce the rise in your blood sugar that would normally occur right after you have finished your meal.
- By helping reduce the rise in blood sugar it keeps your body from producing to much Insulin.
- Because your body is not producing large amounts of Insulin it reduces the amount of testosterone.
- Less testosterone means less acne, hair loss, excess hair and cycle problems. (this is great for women suffering from PCOS!)

How to take ACV:
- It is best to use Unfiltered organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- You will need to dilute the ACV with water or Juice. ( I have heard it goes best with Orange or Apple Juice)
- When you first start taking ACV start with a small dosage of 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon and then work your way up to 2 to 4 teaspoons.
- The more severe your PCOS, Insulin Resistance and obesity levels the higher the dose you will need to take for it to be effective.
- Make sure when you are taking ACV that you do a 1:2 part ratio. What this means is you need to have 1 part ACV and 2 parts whatever liquid you decide to mix it with. If you are doing 2 teaspoons ACV then you need to do a minimum of 4 teaspoons water or juice.
- The amount of ACV that you need to take is going to be based on your meals. If you are eating a low Glycemic load meal with low carbohydrates then you will not need as much ACV.

Things to be cautious of while taking ACV:
- DO NOT TAKE if you suffer from ulcers or gastritis

- Some women who have PCOS and IR are taking Metformin. If you are on metformin please notify your doctor that you want to try ACV with a low glycemic load diet. This way they can monitor your Insulin and Blood sugar levels and adjust or possibly take you off of Metformin completely.

- If you need to sweeten the taste of the ACV it is recommended that you do so by using the stivia liquid drops.

- It is recommended that you wash your mouth out with water after you have taken the ACV to get the remaining acid off of your teeth.

- If you are seeing fantastic results and are finally to a place in your health where you are maintaining, give yourself a break from the ACV. This may not be something that you need to stay on for life if you are able to control your symptoms with a low glycemic diet and exercise. Please consult your physician about this!

*NOTE* I am not a doctor and I am not giving out medical recommendations. I am ONLY sharing information about things that I have found work for me and the research that I have done on these supplements. If you have any questions or concerns please speak to your Physician about them!

Thank you

My Plan B...

If this first cycle with clomid+metformin+progesterone ends up with no baby, Im gonna opt for something more natural and cheaper.

AT FIRST, we decided to give ABP26 a go. This ABP26 (Aura Beauty Perfect) has made Didie Alias and Rozita Che Wan to conceive, and both are in their 40s... *cry*



But somehow.....last night, late night, I received a message from a friend of mine via FB Inbox....
The last time we had a conversation was on 5 Jan 2014.
And last night she announced that she is now 3 months pregnant !!!
Actually we had a deal, to give updates in case one of us get pregnant earlier. 
Wohoo...happy for her !!!
She told me, she consumed SHAKLEE GLA from her first day of mensus up till 12 days.
At the same time both her and her husband went to meet Ustaz Soud, and were given this ubat warna putih.

Maybe this is a way of how God guided me since He knew both of us ada kesempitan duit pada masa ni.
Nak jumpa doktor je skali visit dh kena charge $300 roughly HUHU...
ABP26 pun mahal gak... Red + Purple + Triple L 2 set all in all $250 =p
Then tiba2 je my friend inbox I semalam...

So our next plan, kalau start mensus je, I will start consuming  SHAKLEE ESP (Soy Isoflavones) from Day 2-6. Kalau ada masalah thyroid, SI ni tak di galakkan, but kalau cuma consume 5hari dlm 1 cycle, should be ok...
I read that this SI acts exactly like a Clomid...worth a try! Click here to read more on it.
At the same time will consume SHAKLEE GLA from Day 1 to 14
Besides than those, will also consume SHAKLEE Alfalfa Complex and Omega Guard sebab I baca they are very great products kalau ada PCOS...



So from Dr Avinash, will still be consuming Metformin, if advised.

But still, I am very hopeful that I will get my BFP this cycle...huhuhu....I am now on Day 36. Selalunya before PCOS, this day dah start mensus dah....

Insya Allah...hopefully Tuhan akan tolong...Aamiin...

Attention to PCOS-ians....

I saw an entry from this one blogger, keterangan dia tentang PCOS sangatlah detailed ! I learnt a lot from reading her article. Thanks Ms.Nia =)

Her link:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tiba-tiba saya rasa macam pipi saya 'ditampar' setelah membaca satu artikel ni, mengenai pcos atau nama singkatannya polycyctic ovarian syndrome yang boleh membuatkan telur seseorang itu tidak dapat matang dan mengakibatkan ia tidak mampu untuk bersenyawa dengan sperma. Seperti kata Dr saya sebelum ni, dengan adanya PCOS dalam diri maka banyak yang kita kena korbankan. Korbankan nafsu makan, nafsu berehat saja-saja dan yang paling penting, DUIT, untuk buat treatment dan sebagainya. Saya baru tersedar yang saya tidak mengamalkan cara hidup sihat sebelum ni.

Saya sebenarnya tidak menyangka yang saya turut mendapat PCOS ni, kerana menurut Dr, pcos ni sebenarnya adalah datang daripada genetik, benda tu memang dah ada dalam badan kita sejak dilahirkan lagi. Saya datang dari keluarga besar, ibu ada 16 orang adik beradik dan ayah pula 9 orang. Cuma, setahu saya, nenek saya menunggu 3 tahun untuk mengandung kali pertama. So possibility daripada genetik tu ada la kut...

PCOS adalah penyebab kegemukan, bukannya kegemukan penyebab kita dapat PCOS. Oleh itu, marilah kita bersama sama berdiet untuk stabilkan hormon dulu, kemudian barulah berusaha untuk dapat baby pula.

Daripada research yang saya buat di website, PCOS adalah disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor, iaitu;

1. Insulin resistance - dalam hal ini, cara kita untuk menurunkan insulin adalah penting. Maknanya, pengambilan kadar gula kena rendah, so, SAY NO TO SUGAR!!! Wah, itu dia...Fungsi utama insulin memudahkan penyimpanan gula tambahan di dalam darah sebagai lemak. Untuk pcoser, jika kadar glukosa yang dimakan itu tinggi, maka tahap insulin yang lebih tinggi daripada pengambilan protein dan gula merangsang kortisol yang memburukkan PCOS. Karbohidrat yang diproses, iaitu roti, kentang dan roti yang manis-manis tu, please block all those for your food list.

Dari pembacaan saya, natural remedy adalah;
1. Sesudu Apple vinegar campur dengan segelas air, dan minum. Ada juga orang yang makan je terus sesudu, tapi saya tak tahan la...sebab rasanya sangat masam. Saya cuma letak sedikit je atas sudu dan campur dengan air. Ada gak satu produk ni, D-Chiro-Inositol, tapi mahal la...tak mampu den. Kat sini macam-macam kebaikan apple vinegar ni.

2. Hormon imbalance FSH/LH
Ia berkait rapat dengan hormon estrogen dan progesteron. Pcoser berhadapan dengan masalah period yang tidak menentu, macam chipsmore, kadang kadang ada, kadang kadang tiada, disebabkan oleh pengeluaran estrogen yang rendah. Oleh kerana estrogen rendah, maka progesteron menjadi tinggi. Untuk mereka yang normal, hormon LSH dan FSH berada dalam ratio yang sama, 1:1.

Ada banyak produk yang membantu meningkatkan tahap progesteron yang makin berlambak dah saya nampak. Saya bukannya anti dengan produk-produk ni, cuma saya lebih sukakan natural remedy, sebab yang dijual tu pun belum lagi tentu kesahihannya. Natural remedy untuk membantu meningkatkan progesteron adalah makanan yang kaya dengan vitamin B-6. Ini termasuklah bijirin, kacang, kunyit dan oregano. Zink juga membantu mengekalkan tahap hormon progesteron. Manakala untuk meningkatkan hormon estrogen, Buah-buahan seperti epal, ceri dan wheatmeal juga membantu.

3. Testosteron tinggi
Selalunya pcoser mengalami simptom-simpton kelelakian sedikit. Oleh kerana tahap insulin dalam darah tinggi, maka ia memberi signal kepada ovari mengeluarkan banyak testosteron, jadi LH pun jadi tinggi yang dirembeskan oleh kelenjar pituitari. Contohnya ada misai nipis dan kaki berbulu. Jadi, hormon ini berkait rapat kepada insulin resistant.

Dikatakan soya juga membantu untuk mengurangkan testosteron, tapi saya skeptical sikit dengan soya. Cauliflower dan brokkoli juga membantu menurunkan paras hormon. Kajian yang dijalankan menunjukkan teh spearmint boleh diambil telah menurunkan tahap testosteron dalam badan.

4. Emosi terganggu
Emosi juga berkait rapat dengan pcoser disebabkan gangguan hormon tersebut. Selalunya pcoser mengalami depression, kerisauan dan mood selalu berubah-ubah. Saya juga mengalami benda yang sama, kadang-kadang benda kecil pun saya dah risau berlebih-lebih pula, especially masa sorang-sorang.

Bila saya tengok the whole picture of PCOS, semuanya berpunya daripada insulin resistant. Kalau insulin berada di tahap yang normal, kelenjar pituitari tidak akan signal kepada ovari supaya keluarkan hormon progesteron yang berlebihan dan kadar estrogen yang dirembes adalah rendah. Jadi, penting untuk pcoser untuk menurunkan tahap insulin.

Oleh itu, mau tak mau pcoser kena diet. Turunkan berat badan. Harini tiba-tiba timbulnya azam baru kat saya. Kekuatan saya bangkit. Sudah 4 hari saya menjalani diet yang diberikan oleh Dr. Makan roti nan dan tosai digalakkan untuk maintain diet. Of course, now I should say 'no' to processed food especially fast food.

Kawan-kawan, apa lagi, marilah kita menggembleng tenaga untuk menurunkan berat badan dan makan makanan yang organik. jadi, PCOSER perlu bertindak sekarang juga!!! Selamat berjuang...

The bottom line is this… Yes, PCOS can make it more difficult to have a baby, but it does not have to stop you from becoming a mother.
