I'm sorry. Someone posted about eating some, all, or part of a pineapple post iui for lining or implantation or something to that effect. Now that I'm close to wanting to use the info, I can't find the thread. Refresh my fertility brain again, pretty please!

    The only thing I've heard about pineapples and nether regions is that it makes men and women taste better for oral sex....

    That being said, it might be worth a shot? That would be pretty cool if it worked!

    oh! I have eaten pineapple after O on a few of my early cycles.  The idea is that one eats pineapple core for the 5 days following O (or iui in this case).  One pineapple is plenty, just cut the core into 5 pieces.  You would start the day after the iui.

     Supposedly the bromine (sp?) in the core aids implantation but it will interfere with O hence the reason you start after O.  Personally I enjoy eating the core all on its own but other ladies add it to smoothies.
    This is what I've heard.

    DH: 34  
    Aug 2013 - SA: Counts & Motility = great, Morph = 1%; RE didn't seem too concerned

    Me: 26
    Jan. 2014 - Blood work ordered by obgyn:  Prolactin = high & AMH = low (0.73)
    Feb. 6, 2014 - Repeat blood work ordered by obgyn:  Prolactin = normal & AMH = low (0.9)
    Feb.  20, 2014 - First appointment with RE
    Feb. 24, 2014 - HSG scheduled;  DX:  one tube definitely open & one tube could be blocked
    Mar. 7, 2014 - CD 21 Blood work for Progesterone; DX:  Progesterone level at 5.2; shows I ovulated but was low
    Mar. 28, 2014 - Laparoscopy; DX:  Tubes open.  Found some endometriosis and had that removed.
     
    History:
    Started TTC:  June 2012
    June 2012 - March 2013:  When it Happens/it happens method = BFN
    March 2013:  Started using Fertility Friend
    Cycles 1 - 15 with Fertility Friend = BFN
    Cycle 16 - Benched due to Laparoscopy
    Cycle 17 - Natural Cycle = BFN
    Cycle 18 - Natural Cycle = BFN

    I tried it last year and it was the month I didn't get pregnant. I got pregnant the next 2 months that I didn't eat one.

    Honestly I don't have much faith in drinking pomegranate juice or green tea before ovulation or the pineapple core after ovulation. I've yet to see any medical proof that any of this works. If it makes you have more hope then go for it.


    Fucking bump!!!!
