Pineapple

[Cahoots]

Hiya,

I know it's probably an old wives tale, but I'm throwing everything into my next transfer and there's no harm in trying! 😄

When is it recommended to eat pineapple? A few days before, or after the transfer?

My FET is booked in for this Saturday 🤞

Maybe an old wives tale but it will do you no harm esp if you like fresh pineapple Suggested after transfer for 5 days Important to have a healthy diet as well whole grain bread-pasts -rice Colourful veg and fruit Drink plenty of fluids Avoid too much sugar and processed foods

Sending you good luck wishes

Thank you! Definitely worth a try! At least then I know I did all I could to make it work 😊

For me all the 3 transfers that I had Pineapple never work the two that's I just completely forgot it all worked for me. Clinics don't even advice for pinnaple consumption. I wouldn't advice anyone to try it instead I have always been on prmmergranat juice for a long.

[Cahoots in reply to Munchkinz]

Thank you! I know there's no scientific evidence about pineapple core, but a lot of articles talk about it potentially beneficial. Probably the same with pomegranate juice I would imagine. I can't imagine it will do any harm though. I have tried pomegranate juice for one of my transfers. I'll try anything at this point to be honest! 😄

I understand my dear that's just my own bite and how I have experienced it. Everyone is different. Good luck

took it with my son the day of and after transfer, had Brazil nuts too also had the McDonald’s fries cos ‘why not’ 🤣 didn’t have the pineapple for current pregnancy so it’s defo not needed but if you wanna try it and it makes you happy/you like pineapple why not 💜🤗 xx

[Cahoots in reply to Twiglet2]

Ooh yeah, I've heard about the fries tradition as well. Might give that a try - it can't hurt I suppose! Maybe I'll have a side order of pineapple and Brazil nuts as well and wash it all down with some pomegranate juice! 😄

[Twiglet2 in reply to Cahoots]

🤣 why not!! Xx

I avoided it around transfer as with all the progesterone it can affect stomach. I had it the month before I started my transfer to make lining thinner as my lining was always too thick. I do recommend acupuncture near transfer and weeks leading up to it.

[Cahoots in reply to Spicycurry]

Oh that's interesting. I might not try it if it makes the lining thinner! Last scan I had showed my lining wasn't quite thick enough, but they booked my transfer in for 8 days later, so I'm hoping it has thickened enough now (transfer is tomorrow!)

I had it from after transfer and through the two week wait. Good luck!

I ate it a few days before until a few days after as it’s not my fav

Hi, and good luck with the transfer! 🙂In my recent experience I've learned that Beetroot is helpful for blood flow, (which can support implantation) and positive effects of beetroot has a lot of research evidence behind it....

I've been having a blended drink of beetroot, fresh ginger and watermelon after reading about this study (link below) (I use 'Beet it' juice which is organic and ready made for simplicity)...

"Incorporating foods that will boost the flow of oxygen & nutrient-rich blood to the uterus can help supplement women trying to conceive and could help improve chances of IVF success. One study found intake of a beetroot, watermelon, and ginger juice supplementation starting on embryo transfer day may improve embryo implantation into the uterus and increase clinical pregnancy rates."

Thank you for this.. I literally just had a smoothie with beetroot in it (before I read this)! 😃

Hi, I know that info is not specifically about pineapple, but added it anyway as you said you were keen to throw everthing into this cycle so thought you may find it helpful x

[Megrumpy]

Also, what I think is underestimated is the placebo effect. So the idea that if you believe something will work it will work. Also known as self suggestion. So if you convince yourself that pineapple will help, it probably will . If nothing else you can convince yourself you have somehow power to change the outcome. 😂😱

[Cahoots in reply to Megrumpy]

Very true! Let's hope so anyway! And if nothing else, I'm getting all my recommended allowance of fruit and veg in! 😊

Hi, an old wives tale, yes, but it does no harm so why not. As a fertility dietitian, here's an research study on beet, watermelon and ginger juice improving ICSI odds (can't see why it wouldn't be similar for IVF). Easy, fast and simple!

Recipe for taste:

1 beet

1 cup watermelon

1 tbsp ginger

Sending you positive vibes and good luck!

hello! I had it for the 5 days before transfer and 5 days after because I really liked it more than anything - she is 13 weeks today. Might be too late now but I also had vitamin d injections and b12 for 3 months before transfer. I had iron supplements too (vegetarian). Best of luck fir Saturday
