Pomegranate and pineapple

[mrs_m_shizzle_dizzle]

Morning!

When am I meant to eat / drink these in the cycle? Xx

[NDE1987]

Hey hun I drank a glass of pomegranate juice each day from transfer x

[Tugsgirl]

I ate a slice of fresh pineapple with the core, days 1-5 xx

My clinic told me nothing is scientifically proven to help so don’t waste my time what will be will be x

Hey, Ive read that pinapple to aid implantation so after collection and for a few days after transfer. Pomegranate juice helps to build your lining so would start that before the pineapple. I dont think there's an extact science....our NHS clinic laughed at me when I asked about pineapple - said "oh well Ive heard it all now". I guess we'll try anything eh?!xx

[mrs_m_shizzle_dizzle]

Thanks all I think anything that helps you feel like you are doing something is worth a try at least there’s no what ifs x

[baby2016]

I had both from day of transfer, for 5 days after, also I started eating 1/2 avocado a day from day before transfer till 5/6 days after transfer as avocado is also meant to help implantation x

I drank Pom juice when I remembered to try and build up my lining for my FET as soon as I started progynova. I didn’t do pineapple or Brazil nuts, though I sort of intended to (unopened pack of Brazil nuts still sitting in cupboard). My lining was good and I’ve just got my bfp, but I don’t like Pom juice so I won’t be drinking any more of it!

What’s the rationale for the Pom juice and lining do you know? I’ll be doing this 🙌🏼 and the Brazil nuts. Did pineapple all of the last 3 cycles and all were BFP but I feel like it could have been anything and kind of want to change it up (but scared to at same time 😂). I am tempted to “do nothing” and trust nature but there’s always that “what if” x

What i did Starting the week before transfer.

100% pomegranate juice

Nuts - 5/6 brazil 4 walnut & a mix of others (Lidl do good bags)

Pineapple core - 5 days after transfer

Only warm food & drink (apparently the body uses more energy digesting cold foods which takes energy away from growing embryos)

Kept warm - me! 😁

I don't know if this all helped however

1st fresh cycle- I had acupuncture & ate pineapple - BFN & No frozen

2nd fresh cycle - did all above - no acupuncture - BFP & 2x frozen (ended in mmc)

3rd FET - did all above - BFP (This week!)

Everyone is different, but I like to think maybe a bit of what I've done may have helped.

Hipe this all makes sense & Good luck with everything xxx
