PCOS Diet Guide

Posted on March 21, 2008 and filed under Infertility Resources

Below is a blog written by a PCOS warrior on a book that gives women with PCOS dieting guidelines. 

This is book is SPECIFICALLY for women who have PCOS! Yes, our very OWN cookbook. I was so happy to see this but the book is entitled: The PCOS Diet Cookbook but it has a “guide” as to what foods are great to eat and what isn’t so great to eat.  They also suggest a low glycemic diet ( low in sugar/carbs).

    Jeff and I are trying to make another baby. So far, no hits, so I figure I can use a cleaning. I decide to do this saltwater detox thing. I really won’t go into details because it’s gross, but it’s working so that’s nice. I started it on Monday. It was really great. I had all this energy. I had so much so, that I figured, “What the heck. I’ll give up coffee today.”

    Goonies can’t die if they’ve never been born!

    By, Sonja Stewart

    My bestest friends came up to visit me a little over a week ago. It was an amazing time. I got to show them around my favorite hang outs and just spend some really good time with them.

    The great thing, though, to me, was to be able to show them the Goonie tour. I live in

    Astoria, OR, where Goonies was filmed, and all through high school, we were the Goonies. “Goonies never die!” we wrote that in each other’s yearbooks. It was our “thing;” the thing that made us, “us.”

    Are My Thoughts Making Me Infertile?

    Posted on March 16, 2008 and filed under Infertility....the unfathomable journey

    I just got back from spending a week with my girls and my little niece - Jo Jo Bean in Oregon.  If you have not been to Oregon, I recommend it.  They live in a little town called Astoria.  Many of you are probably familiar with it, if you have seen Goonies or Kindergarten Cop, both movies, and many more were filmed in this lush town sitting at the base of the Colombia River.  What an amazing time I had.  Endless days with little Josephine - she will be 2 this month, long girly talks with lots of giggling (not laughing, but out of control, laugh for no reason giggling),  walks along the river with beautiful scenery and reflective talks, a little bit of shopping, lots of junk food, and most appreciatively time to reflect and plan.  Thinking has been something that has gotten me into trouble since the “fertility challenged” thing has entered our lives. My thoughts can go around and around, and deeper and deeper into darkness and confusion, the more I think, the more bleak I get, the more confused I get and the more “nuts” I conclude I am. So, this week of not thinking, but doing, was amazing.  And when I was not doing, I was in a much more relaxed, non-infertility state of mind, that I was able to reflect, and dream (yes, I know that sounds cheesy- but it is such a beautiful thing, especially after a period of time of being afraid to dream).  And at one point in this reflective, relaxing week, I opened up a magazine, one that my friends and I refer to as smut mags - full of celebrity photos, and I saw a picture of Marcia Cross with her two beautiful twins.  As that picture popped into my view, and lightness filled my heart, and it was followed by the joy that comes with hope, it reminded me that it is possible, one day I can be a mom, which  brings me to a question though. 

    Are my negative thoughts keeping me from getting pregnant?
