Cucumber Apple Brownie Refeshing Juice

Hi guys!!!

So, due to the fact that I am suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome I have to try my very best to improve my diet. Thus this JUICE .

I made this drink yesterday evening. I drank 3/4cup of it immediately after and placed the remainder in the refrigerator for today.

When I woke up this morning, I drank some water with a little lime and had some more of this juice about 45 mins after.

Pros about this drink:

*It requires little time to prepare
*Its all natural and healthy
*Its filled with vitamins and minerals
*It goes straight into your bloodstream

Cons about this drink:
* It lacks fiber
* detox symptom ...for me, it was just a slight head tension. (brief moment & tolerable)

The following ingredients were used:

 



1 cucumber

2 small carrot

2 celery stalk

1/2 sweet pepper

1 green apple

1 tomato

3/4 cup of water

 

Method:

1. Cut all ingredients into smaller pieces  

2. Placed everything in your blender and blend
3. Strain with a strainer or cloth for a smooth drink.
4. serve in a glass.


Hope this was somewhat helpful to you. Take care and visit again. bye :-)

MY VEGETABLE PIZZA (PCOS MEAL)

Hey Lovies!!

For the past few days I have been consuming very little carbs and this is a very good movement for me, seen that I was diagnosed with PCOS 6 years ago.

So today I made this (my version) vegetable pizza for my dinner.

 

 

Ingredients: 1 Cauliflower, 1egg, spam, 2 cloves garlic, All purpose seasoning, salt, black pepper, zucchini, tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, tomato, sweet pepper and mushroom.

recommended ingredients: Parmesan Cheese

Method: 1. Boil Cauliflower (until tender)
                2. Mash cauliflower (resemble mash potato)
                3. Squeeze in cloth to remove excess water

                4. Place in a container and add egg, garlic (grated) or garlic powder, all purpose seasoning, little black pepper and parmesan cheese

5.Preheat oven

6. Make a dough with the mixture

7. Grease baking sheet and cover with baking paper
8. Spread your dough making a circle then place in oven on medium heat until the top and edges become a little golden.
9. Remove from oven, add tomato sauce, spam and vegetables
10. sprinkle toppings with salt and black pepper then finish up by adding cheddar cheese.
Place in oven until it appears ready.

Honestly, I didn't make note of time for this recipe so please pardon me. However this recipe is very simple, so I guarantee you will enjoy.

Let me know if you tried and how it was.

Thanks for reading.

Infertility: PCOS

Trying to conceive and not being able to is very hard for women. I can testify that its very distressing to really want a child of my own and is unable to. My journey of ttc started in 2010 when me and my spouse where trying and noticed that we weren't achieving pregnancy. It wasn't quiet a year trying but it was almost a year. After trying for so many months I decided to go to the doctor. I visited the doctor, he did some physical examinations and right there and then I discovered that I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). When the doctor told me I had PCOS I was lost out of this world. I though that I wasn't going to able to have a child at all. However, my doctor assured me that all is not lost having PCOS. With all that said, I was still down for a few weeks until I regained my energy to retry. It was after finding out about my condition I  finally realize why I had so much hair over my body. PCOS symptom are having facial hair, irregular periods, difficulty losing weight and much more. Women who have PCOS also does not ovulate very often.

 During my ttc journey so far, I have never been pregnant. From I was diagnosed with PCOS I have been on Metformin. Along with Metformin I have tried Clomid for several cycles and they all failed. I have taken breaks from Clomid and I have also try Injectables once so far. My spouse was the one to administer the injectables because I was too scared to do it myself. He injected two vials per day for five days after which I had to visit my doctor on cd10. My spouse injected the vials and I went back to see my doctor. When I went to see me doctor he did an ultrasound and he saw one follicle measuring 11cm. That follicle wasn't big enough for him to proceed to his next step, which is administering an HCG shot. So he requested that I come back to see him three days time. 

I went back to him within the three days and when he did another ultrasound again he realized that the follicle that was present wasnt getting any bigger. It didn't develop. I was so traumatize because I am trying so badly for years and plus, the injectables cost me soooo much and I couldn't afford another set of injectables.  

I got back my composure days after and I started researching my options online. While researching I reminded myself that I cant stop trying and Ivf would be to expensive at this time. So I have discovered something new called fertilityaid and ovaboost and I have ordered them online. I am now awaiting there arrival and as soon as they arrive I will give an update. So you all can check back for the update on that in the next few days.  Wish me luck y'all and all the best to all those ttc.
