| Welcome to my page about Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome..... I have had PCOS for a period of 16 years even though I was only diagnosed after the birth of my son Zachary Sam was born and I started to put on weight. I have had two children through natural process even though I have PCOS and my husband has a low sperm count. So girls there is hope for everyone. It took 16 months for us to conceive Emma Louise after we were married. After she was born I was breastfeeding so my cycle did not return. After stopping breastfeeding my son was conceived. My daugther and my son are 20 months apart. He was born full term and a proud hefty 9lb 3oz baby, which I now know was due to having PCOS. We tend to have bigger babies due to our sugar imbalance. My only symptoms are weight gain, one hair on my chin and a few around my breasts, depression and sugar level problems. I think we can all learn how to deal with this and I hope my site will help you all to do this. |

| Teena's desert ideas If you need to have desert ladies just try some of these ideas 1. Low fat icecream with strawberries ( better to buy diabetic icecream) 2. Baked apple stuffed with dried fruit not dates they have a high sugar content 3. Make an apple crumble (stewed apples and top with some muesli and cook in oven for 10 mins) 4. Enjoy a jelly whip made with sugar free jelly and whipped together when set with low fat yoghurt 5. Wrap steamed apples and sultanas in filo pastry and cook in oven for 10 mins serve with low fat icecream |
| Teena's exercise Tips 1. Start small and then increase when your energy builds up 2. Start by going to the corner shop to buy milk and bread and walk there and back 3. Put clothes basket on the ground so you have to bend to get them and hang them up 4. Put on music and dance around the room 5. Vacumn the house once a day this burns heaps of energy 6. When you hop out of bed in the morning do some stretches to wake up (only do this when you are fully awake and after you have had that morning cuppa) 7. Yoga is a great form of exercise good low impact exercise and is great for the mind as well |

| Teena's diary notes and inspirational messages |
| Saturday August 17th 2002 Today I was inspired by a fellow cyster (Helen Quin aka Irish Cailin) to start my own web page and boy did I undertake a great task.. It has taken me most of the day...... But it is nearly finished now and I feel great I hope you all like it now it is done. I will be putting some inspiration into this page now and I will still send a separate email if you want me to. My tip for today is to persevere even when you feel tired and worn out. This is my perky day so how did all the girls go with their perky day are we all jolly. I will continue to add diet tips and recipes to this site so it is updated regulary. I will find a good picture of myself and my family to add onto this page when I find one that is current..... (and not too horrendous I am here to inspire not dissappoint you all) Guess what I have lost 4.4.lbs since I started my new diet and exercise on Tuesday so I feel great and a whole lot better. With the help of each other we can do it. I read a quote that said "It doesnt matter how slow you go as long as you dont stop" Bye for now ladies Teena |

| Sunday 18th August 2002 Hi, how are we all doing today? My quote for the day is "Im not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday. Anon This is a great quote don't you all think.... We should never give up in whatever quest we undertake as we are sure to get there one day. My point for today is to find a buddy and get her or him to help, with exercise and diet and just to be your bouncing board if you need one. If you need to you can ask me anything you like as I will always try to answer your questions or just be a friend. Remember Sunday is pamper day girls so get out the hair conditioner and the bath salts and relax in the bath for an hour with some soothing music on. When you hop out treat yourself to a herbal tea (Chamomile) and put some bright toenail polish on those toes, and don't forget the fingers too. Remember we are all here to help each other so call on a cyster today.. hugs for today Teena ps take the time to add your name to my quest book |

| What is Polcystic Ovarian Syndrome |
| Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome is when the ovary produces fluid filled sacs that when women dont ovulate turn into cysts. But they also have other symptoms that effect the rest of the body.. These may be depression, weight gain, depression, facial and body hair,infertility and many other problems the main being a problem with sugar levels being either Insulin Resistant or Hypoclicemic. Many women struggle to lose weight trying many different diets only to lose the weight and many put back on what they lost plus more. Some experts say PCOS is genetic and starts by the adrenal androgen hypersecretion. Others say it starts in the ovaries. It is possible that it is several or all of these things in combination. when women's weight increases this causes * an increase in the production of the hormone that suppresses ovulation and causes infertility * irregular periods * reduces the efficency of insulin * causes insulin resistance and hyperclicemia Treatment There are many different treatments but I myself like the Hollistic approach, these may include lifestyle changes, vitamins, minerals and herbs. The medical treatment usually addresses the symptoms and leaves the underlying problem ongoing. Sometimes women need to undergo surgey and more invasive treatments. I feel if natural things can help it is much better to try this approach first. Most ladies find when they lose weight most or all symptoms go away and they can usually fall pregnant without the use of drugs... I myself find that when I fell pregnant with my two children I was 20 kilos lighter (40lbs) this was without the use of any fertility medication at all. I had no symptoms and felt great.. I have since been trying for another child for the past 3-4 years but to no avail.. Alot of medical professionals are now using the BMI to measure weight loss Aim for a body mass index of less than 25 BMI = body weight in kilos body height in metres2 eg an adult with the body weight of 63 kg and a height of 1.7m BMI = 63 divided by 1.7 squared = 21.8 <18 very underweight 18-20 underweight 20-25 healthy weight 25-30 overweight 30-40 obese >40 severely obese Some natural supplements that are used are Chromium B complex Vitamin C and E Beta Carotene Magnesium Zinc Manganese I would suggest before you undertake any natural medicines that you consult a Natural Ferility Specialist. This being the same before you take any medications that the doctor prescribes. |

| Wednesday 21st August 2002 Hi girls how are we all doing today....I am great and the weather is great, it is raining here in sunny Qld. Australia. I was just talking to a fellow cyster my friend Kerstin and she said a line that I thought I would pass onto all you fellow cysters. She said "That we can all be happy to have great people around us even though we don't know each other by face" I think this was a great thought, we have so many people that we do talk to on the message board and in the chat rooms... We do feel like we have so many friends now that I am honoured that I found this great web site of Kat's so I could meet you all. The things we tell each other we would never tell anybody face to face but we tell our fellow cysters our deepest thoughts and feelings. And you all know what they say if we open up to people we feel better so todays inspiration is to talk to a fellow cyster and tell her what your problems are and how you should deal with them.. This will help all of us to deal with things that may be bothering us because other cysters may have gone through this problem already and have an answer for you on how to deal with it. So girls be happy to know we are not alone out there dealing with PCOS but we have many good friends in our cyberspace. So have a good day and pass this web page onto some others to enjoy if you enjoyed it. Quote for today "There are no shortcuts to any place worth going" by Beverly Sills hugs for all of you and bye for now Teena Ps Thanks again Kerstin for inspring me for todays thoughts I was at a blank at what to say |
| The diet book I use to control PCOS and to lose weight is The G I Factor by Kaye Foster-Powell Prof Jennie Brand MIller Dr Stephen Colagiuri |
| Thursday 22nd August 2002 The quote for today girls is " Do not think of today's failures, but of the sucess that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will suceed if you persevere: and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember no effort that we make to obtain something beautiful is lost. by Helen Keller This quote brought to mind a few ideas today. The main one that struck to mind was that each and every day it can be a battle for us to lose weight but we will suceed. It may be hard work but as the quote says anything beautiful and ladies we are beautiful the way we are.... is worthwhile......So girls if you want to lose weight and find it hard, find a buddy and get a walking partner and get going. But don't worry if at first you don't suceed, try and try again. The other thought that sprung to mind was the ladies that are trying to fall pregnant. We may not all have the chance to be a mother but there are many other qualities that we can offer. Dont think that children are the bee all and end all to any relationship.. You can offer so much to your relationship by just being you. So don't be do disappointed there but then again if you persevere longer enough we may all get the chance to be a mum. Hugs for you all babydust for the anxious mums to be yoyour cyster Teena |

| Friday 23rd August 2002 Hi girls how was your day today? I had a great day even though I am now back to cycle day 1 again but maybe next month will be the one. The quote for today was great and I think we will all appreciate it alot. "No matter how big and tough a problem may be, get rid of confusion by taking one little step toward the solution" by George Nordenholt This is a great quote for all of us to learn by. Some of us have big problems with this horrible disorder but as the quote says get rid of the confusion and this is often depression. So work on that girls and try to be happy and hopefully you will be one step toward a solution. I have found from talking to various girls that weight and depression are the worst symptoms of pcos. But I feel with the help of all of us we can overcome both of these obstacles and do some good for ourselves. Remember to help someone else and you will feel better yourself. And to try and keep positive. I know this can be hard but we can all do it. With the help of others. This is why I am here so if anyone needs someone to talk to, just give me a yell and I will see if I can help in any way. Just to get things off your chest can sometimes help alot. Remember have a good day tomorrow and to stay happy. as Saturday is Chirpy Day........We will do something silly tomorrow OK..... |

| This is a good picture today girls.. We can make it to the top of that tree...... So be like a Koala and climb to your goal... |

| Remember to keep on going you will get there |
| Saturday 24th August 2002 Today we need to do something totally off base for us today. Something that will make us all happy. Saturdays are a great day to take the kids or just the hubby to the park and relax. Pack yourself a hamper and off you go. Every town has a park so noone is excused. Get out the frisbe and ball and off you go. Organise all your freinds and have a barbie and a cricket match or a game of touch footy. Great fun and you burn off heaps of calories running around as well. Todays quote is "Start by doing what is necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible" Saint Francis of Assisi this is great inspiration that we can all start with the most improtant things and then everything will fall into place so never give up girls. We can beat this. Remember have a great day... |
| This is a great idea but a bit adventurous, but you could start by doing something small first then work up to hang gliding |
 |
| Sunday 25th August 2002 Hi girls this is our pamper day so remember the drill and get out all that pamper stuff and don't forget the nail polish and make it a bright colour today. Put on the kettle and have a cuppa then proceed with the rest of your pamper day. I did four hours of gardening yesterday and I need today very much. Hopefully it would have burnt up lots of calories so it was worth it and the yard is looking great. Quote for today "Amazingly enough we all live inside a body that is capable of improvement everyday - what are we waiting for..... By Broch Averlmeir This is a great quote don't you all think we a people in bodies that most of us want to change and we can if we want to... so what are we waiting for.... I hope you all have a great day and feel better after doing it... I will talk alot more tomorrow still gardening as well today and don't have much time.... Hugs for all Baby dust for mums to be Teena Have a great day |

| The rhino looks like he is enjoying his relaxing day hey girls |
| Monday 26th August 2002 Hi girls.... How are we all going today? I am great, had a busy weekend gardening and they are looking great. Very pleased with myself but very sore as I used a rotary Hoe all weekend. The quote for today is a chinese proverb "The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones" This is true in everything that we do, we have to start small and eventually the problem no matter how large starts to dissappear. Most of our problems seem large but as the proverb says we all have to begin by carry small stones. If we apply this to our weight, start by saying we have to lose 10lbs then another 10 lbs then another and before you know it you have reached your goal... And reward yourself along the way. Every 10lbs get something you have always wanted. A new outfit or a new hair do or so forth let your imagination take control. But be happy and don't set yourself unachievable goals. As always you can talk to me if need be and I will try to help. My diet is going well and I feel so much better. Will talk again tomorrow girls Hugs for now Teena |

| No matter how slow we go we will reach our goals |
| These are some great recipes I found on the web they sound great.... |
| Tuesday 27th August 2002 Good morning girls another great day before us. This has been a great week started a new diet and exercise regimine and I am seeing a herbalist and feel great for the first time for a long time. Have lost cms of both my hips and my waist and that makes me feel great too. As we all know that our weight can go up and down according to what time of the month it is. Todays Quote " You can do what you want to do, accomplish what you want, to accomplish, attain any reasonable objectives....if you want it, if you will do it, you work to do it, over a sufficiently long period of time" William E Holler This is a great quote as I read it I thought of myself and how determined I can be to accomplish my goals. My goals are 1. To lose weight 2. To have another baby 3. To learn to control my pcos symptoms I feel after reading that quote that anything I put my mind to I will accomplish. I think if we set our mind on anything if it is important to us we will be able to stick to it. I will be able to accomplish all my goals as I feel they are all important to me so here goes girls, I am on the right path to getting better. Hugs for now Teena |

| Wednesday 28th August 2002 Hi girls, how are we all going today? I am fine and doing well. The diet is going well and the exercise is great I am so tired these days that I just want to fall asleep at night. I am sleeping better and wake up most mornings with heaps of energy to start a new day. The quote for today is "Don't consider painful what is good for you" by Euripes So all this pain I feel from the exercise must be good for me hey.....lol.... But I do feel better about myself and I can see my waist taking shape again. We have to do some hard yakka if we want to achieve something worthwhile. The saying is no pain no gain... I will keep going and I hope now I am on track that my hormones will fall into place as well. By the way we won our game last night.. Will talk again soon girls hugs for now Teena |
| Thursday 29th August 2002 Hey girls another great day has passed and we are on track for another great day I am now on cd 6 and everything is fine this is the first cycle I have ever finished early, only had the cycle for 5 days. Must be all the new natural meds I am on. My diet is going well and I feel ok.. Did 2 hours of mowing today and did some gardening as well.. The garden is looking great and the kilos are coming off from all the shovelling and turning of the dirt.... The quote today is "Just say No!!!!!" by Nancy Reagan This sounds familiar hey....when we reach for that lolly or piece of white bread just say no.... we feel so bad after we have had something that is not on our diet that we punish ourselves for days over it.... We should just say it is ok for us to have a cheat every now and again.... Well enough of the lecture today. Will have a good weekend as I am going away for the weekend so I encourage you all to have a great weekend and have that pamper day on Sunday and have a Perky day on Saturday......See you all on Sunday night Hugs for now Teena |
| Friday 30th August 2002 Hi girls.... Sorry this day is late but was away all weekend so all I have to add is the daily quotes for these days Quote for today is " If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health" By Hippocrates |
| Saturday 31st August 2002 Todays quote is "Use it or lose it" by Jimmy Connors |
| Sunday 1st September 2002 Today's quote is "There is no failure in no longer trying" by Elbert Hubbard |

| Monday 2nd September 2002 Hiya girls how are we all going today??? I am great due to ovulate later in the week. So will have to act like a rabbit I guess.. I went to Chinchilla on the weekend so didn't get to talk to you all. I hope you all had a great weekend? I had a great weekend with all the family and picked up the kids horse so it was a busy weekend. Still on the diet and doing well even though I don't think I will lose weight this week as I am due to ovulate but you never know hey.. Will stick to the exercise and diet and see what happens hey. Todays quote is "Imprisioned in every fat man is a thin one wildly signalling to be let out" by Cyril Connolly That is a great one hey we are all trying to be thin with some sucess. I hope to lose about 20 kilos before the end of the year as we are going to Cairns for a holiday and I want to get a new bathing suit. I had better go sorry it is short today but hope to talk longer tommorrow hugs for now Teena |

| This is the mood I am in at the moment, like I am floating on a cloud |
| Tuesday 3rd September 2002 Cd 12 Hiya girls I am on track for a good month I hope. The weight is till the same but I am losing cms of my hips and waist. My Horomone specialist says that as women we can put on kilos at times in the month but to not get depressed as we can lose these again just as quick. The quote for today is a good one "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are" by Athelme Brillal - Savarian I think we all should keep a diary of what we eat so we can go back over it at the end of the week and see where we are going wrong in our diet regimine. I keep a record of everything, diet, exercise, meds, feelings, and anything that I think is related to myself. I only weigh and measure myself now on a Wednesday so I dont get depressed everytime I jump on the scales. I have been going good at the exercise and am playing Basketball as well. We won again last night. well had better go now and keep the chins up girls hugs for now Teena |
| This is a poem I was sent via email from my friend Ange (aka nutty gg) Are we friend? You told me once but I forgot, So tell me now and tell me true So I can say, I am here for you.

| Wednesday 4th September 2002 Cd 13 Today has been a good day and it was a good day for the diet too. Practised basketball this afternoon and did well went home more tired than I do from a game. But all exercise is good hey. I had a pain in my right side today at about 5pm in the afternoon so hopefully that is a good sign that everything is working again. Todays quote is "One should eat to live, not live to eat" by Moliere This is a good one hey girls. We sometimes eat for the sake of eating I know I am a victim of this and I am sure everyone would be at some time. We would all comfort eat when we get down in the dumps. I know I am a victim of this too. But we have to change our way of thinking and try a different approach. We live to eat, so we should choose better things to eat when we are down. I now try something different and that is when I am down I go and pull weeds from the garden or lawn and I tell you it works to get the hunger bugs under control. well had better go now hugs for now Teena |
| Thursday 5th September 2002 Cd 14 Ok I am feeling quite funny today. Just a little weird and have been for the past couple of days now. I hope this means that finally my hormones are on the right track to getting better. I think maybe they might be I actually feel more like a woman these days and was told on Saturday at a family party that I looked quite pretty. Boy did that make me feel good. Robin told me that i was looking good in my jeans as well and that she could notice the weight loss as well. I haven't seen her since xmas last year and have lost about 8 kilos since then. It makes you feel good when people notice the little things. Todays quote is "Health is not a condition of matter but of mind" by Mary Baler Eddy This one hit home for me as I am actually a fairly positive person, but some days I too get down in the dumps. It helps if we set our mind on something positive and work towards that as our goal. I think if we all try and get our mind into control everything else will fall into place. I find when I am happy I feel alot better about myself and the weight easily comes off. But when I am down I get all bloated in the stomach and I seem to be a little tense as well, cant sleep at nights and the rest of the day seems to roll on by. Hey I should go now and try and do a little housework. hugs for now Teena |
 |
| Friday 6th September 2002 Cd 15 Today has been a good day as usual not much has upset me so I am in a good mood. My hormones are acting up as I am still in a weird mood. funny I guess, sort of light headed, I would call it a foggy brain. I hope this is finally a good sign. I had blood tests done last week and they all came back good, my hormone levels were fine and in the normal bracket so hopefully.........I go for another test on Thursday for progesterone to check those levels. It will be good to see what is going on then to see how everything is panning out. Todays quote is "Preserving the health by no severe a rule is a wearisome malady" by Francios de la Rochfoucauld this one has me beat today. Our health is the most important to us but sometimes it is very hard to try and maintain it. Looking after my health is the most important thing to me at the moment. I try very hard to stay on my diet so I will get better and if I stick to it, I know it will happen one day. bye for now hugs Teena |
