Pineapple.... To eat or not?!?

[isitonlyadream]

Hi ladies

Ok so all being well I'll be in for ET on Monday and as a self confessed Google addict....

PINEAPPLE post transfer or not?

I have read so much about this, the gist is cut it into 5 - 6 pieces then eat one piece /day including the core (highest concentration of bromeline?)

But if having a 5 day transfer implantation can occur between 1 - 5 days after ET....

Also have read reports saying to avoid it completely....

So ladies, who ate it and did you get the BFP or who didn't and still got their BFP?

Just trying to weigh up pros & cons and whether its actually going to do more harm than good or if I should actually be eating it from Monday!

Thanks,

Holly x

I ate it the whole way through my cycle including after transfer, didnt do us any harm😉

[isitonlyadream in reply to Hope_faith]

Hi hope_faith

Thank you - I am thinking that I may just have a slice per day for a few days then... maybe Monday to Friday next week x

Hi

I ate it on my first cycle before and after up to about 5 days post transfer got BFP but miscarried at 6 weeks, ate it the next two cycles BFN, now preparing for round 4 transfer is Tuesday! I'm eating but only up to transfer this time as I'll be on clexane and aspirin after . Not sure this helps, lol.

Hi Becks

Thank you for getting back to me - I think I am going to put it into my daily smoothie for a few days post transfer then

All the best for your transfer on Tuesday

I didn't know about it before treatment so didn't take it. I did load up on protein and water though. As hope_faith says, it's not going to do any harm.

[isitonlyadream in reply to Tlove]

Hi Tlove

Thank you - I am still on a high protein intake and trying my hardest with the water and still having daily smoothies too!

Fingers crossed for Monday that we have blastos

I was also recommended 1l of milk a day as few private fertility clinics are recommending that now.

Good luck!

[isitonlyadream in reply to InTheMiddleOfIt]

Brilliant, I'll add that to the list 😄

Thank you,

I didn't eat pineapples but drank lots pineapple juice and ate a handful of Brazil nuts each day with my last round. I did fall pregnant ( ended in mc). Not sure if pineapple juice helped or not. May have just been the extra meds I was on but still not going to do any harm x x

[isitonlyadream in reply to Soapsuds86]

Hi soap suds,

Sorry to hear that...

But thank you for getting back to me, think I'll try it for a few days 😄

I read it caused miscarriage so to avoid it. Maybe eat on 2ww then stop? Xx

[isitonlyadream]

Hi rosy_I

Thank you - I had read that as well ....

I think I will add it for the first few days then no more

I'm eating brazil nuts up to day of transfer and then pineapple core from day of transfer for 5 days along with pint of milk throughout 2ww, fingers crossed it results in a bfp! Good luck x

[isitonlyadream in reply to baby2016]

Hi baby2016

Sounds very familiar, when is your transfer?

[baby2016 in reply to isitonlyadream]

Hi Holly, only just seen your reply, I know its 17 days old now but wondered how you were getting on? Xx

[isitonlyadream in reply to baby2016]

Hi

Unfortuntely the fresh transfer was not successful so we are back on the 9th June to discuss our frozen embryo and plan going forward.

I think your transfer will be the 6th June? If so lots and lots of luck x

[baby2016 in reply to isitonlyadream]

Hi i ate pineapple 3 days before my transfer and 2 days after ( had a 5 day transfer ) and then didn't have anything to do with pineapple until after having my baby , it's good to cause a sticky womb before pregnancy but research has shown it can cause womb contractions thats why people advise you to eat it when your heavily pregnant so there is a slight chance of possible miscarriage in earlier pregnancy some women eat it right thorough i personally didn't after having 5 miscarriages i avoided everything and anything i possibly could that had been linked with miscarriage.

Good luck ! xx

[herrys in reply to herrys]

I also eat 2 brazil nuts and 2 walnuts a day and a pint of semi skimmed milk - nuts help implantation and good protien and milk apparently makes the wombs blood flow better xx

[isitonlyadream in reply to herrys]

Hi Herrys - thank you, I al already eating the brazil nuts but didnt know about walnuts, I will add those to the list as well

Hello, I had a 5 day transfer. I definitely ate pineapple at least during the first week but can't remember about week 2. We got a bfp so it was ok for me and I don't think it would do any harm but I do understand overanalysising every little thing! x

[sam84]

My best friend drank a glass of pineapple juice and ate 3 Brazil nuts every day for her two week wait from the day she had the embryos put back in and now has a 8 month old baby boy I'm waiting to start mytreatment and she is constantly on at me to do it xo

[Daisy-Mae]

I had a thin slice for the first week after ET but didn't do it for the entire 2ww. I did however have a boiled egg every day and lots of avocado! Not sure what worked but we got our much longed for BFP. Good luck xxx
