Pom juice

ChibiMommy · October 2011

Has anyone tried this? Does it really work? I read the ttcal blog about it but it doesn't really explain. I tried to call my mw and talk to her about it but I couldn't get through.

The time I was really good about drinking it the whole cycle I did get pregnant (and miscarried). So take that for what it's worth. I still drink it from time to time, but my acupuncturist didn't really think that I should focus on that. In fact, she doesn't want me drinking much fruit juice period because of how much sugar is in it (and the fact that it's a "cooling" food which goes against what we're trying to do with my temps... whole 'nother story there!)

I'm trying it for the first time this cycle, so I guess I'll let you know if it works. From what I understand, it's 8 ounces a day from CD 1 until O. HTH!

I am trying it this cycle...I guess its supposed to help build your lining. But, to be honest the real 100% stuff is just too expensive...so i went with a 100% pom juice (with other juices added).

I just talked to the mw about it and she said she has never heard of it but would do some research and call me back tomorrow. All I can seem to find is articles about it increasing uterine contractions during labor. Does anyone have an scientific facts/article about this?

Thanks for all of your comments. I'll let you know what the mw says tomorrow.

I drank it CD 5 to O the cycle I got my BFP. Zero evidence that it helped, but when we're cleared to try again I will drink it again. My thought is that it probably doesn't really help, but it also can't hurt.

I heard about the pom juice right after my m/c so I thought it was worth a try. It was pretty tasty but it was also really expensive. I decided to do the POM wonderful pills instead because they were a lot cheaper and supposedly just as good. I can't say if it has helped me any but I figured for $35 (Amazon.com) it wouldn't hurt and was worth the try.

Oh and all I have heard (in relation to TTC) is stuff about it helping with building the uterine lining. Since we had to try to catch the first egg I was worried my body wouldn't have time to build a good enough lining so I wanted to do whatever I could to help it. I have heard people say it helped with their lining and that (when they didn't get a BFP) it made AF really heavy but I haven't gotten that far with it yet.

I started drinking it again a couple weeks ago. I drank it for 3 cycles, a little less on our BFP cycle than previous ones. I also heard that pomegranate is good for male fertility, too, so I'm going to get DH the pomegranate supplements (there are some much cheaper than $35, GatorWife!) and he will take those. It supposedly helps with motility and sperm concentration. For us, it increases blood flow and helps build the uterine lining (in theory).

The cycles I drank POM my lining was a little thicker. Not much thicker, but enough to keep me satisfied.

I usually drink it with OJ. It kills the taste.

We have the Costco-sized bottle at home because DH loves the stuff. I like it, but try not to drink too much of it because of the amount of sugar. I definitely am not doing the 8 ounces thing from CD1 to O.

I put it on a lot of ice and mix it with Sprite Zero. It's pretty good that way and has less sugar than mixing with other juices. I get the Just Pomegranate juice.

I drank it from CD1 through CD6 this cycle (8 ounces) and stopped when I learned that we were out this cycle. I had an ultrasound today (CD21, maybe 3dpo), and my lining was thin (5mm). I don't have anything to compare it to, but my cycles were quite thin/short before. Also, as for price, my grocery store carries a few brands besides POM. I get a 32 oz (I think) container for around 5.50, so that's 4 days worth. For most people, that would only be 20 or so dollsrs. check your grocery store. I found mine in the organic section (unrefrigerated). It's 100% pomegranate juice from concentrate, just like POM.
